- Ask Mazhar about the Ship Scanning job
Mazhar says, What's that? Ship scanning? Oh yeah, the port crew was asking for help, now that you mention it. They're always complaining that there are more ships coming through the gate than they can handle.
He yawns and picks up his slate.
Mazhar says, Alright <name>, I'm giving you temporary access to the station's scanners. Head over to the Port and scan five ships. The process is almost entirely automated. You enter in the preliminary data about the inbound ships, and if the computer finds anything nasty our security vessels will intercept them. Come back when you're done and I'll give you some credits.
