Attention all Runners, Traxus OffWorld Industries is currently seeking candidates for resource extraction on Tau Ceti IV.
Traxus OffWorld Industries is the interplanetary economic leader across every major industrial category. Align with a corporation at the forefront of innovation and gain access to cutting-edge equipment and sponsorship.
Please note, applicants will not be considered Traxus employees. As noncorporate temporary assets, Runners are not entitled to any worker protections or corporate representation.
I am Vulcan. I have been officially assigned as your Traxus liaison.
The Unified Earth Space Council shipping manifest you acquired indicates abundant resources remaining on Tau Ceti IV. As the UESC is our direct competitor, their interest in these resources is a threat to our bottom line.
Physical retaliation between corporate and government signatories is limited by the Corporate Nonviolence Treaty. However, you are a noncorporate asset. Engage UESC operatives and use force as you see fit.
Your destruction of UESC forces indicates notable dedication. Traxus invites you to take professional satisfaction in being a vital contributor to the preservation of a free market.
For your efforts, you have been recorded in our temporary asset database and classified as "compliant."
Traxus thanks you for your participation.
As a compliant asset, you are eligible for a new contract with Traxus Offworld Industries. Currently, the UESC seeks a monopoly on Tau Ceti IV resource extraction. Traxus would like your help recovering market share.
To understand the scope of opportunity, Traxus requests that you complete a thorough survey of both colony materials and UESC Supply Drops.
Any assets acquired during this assignment are yours to keep. Simply share your findings promptly and you will be compensated at a competitive rate.
Traxus has confirmed receipt of your intelligence report, but... we require more information for our annual financial forecast.
Intercept UESC drones to disrupt they supply lines and acquire intel on their operations.
Please note that the UESC will react to your involvement with hostility. Traxus is not liable for any damages sustained during this contract. Possible damages may include physical injury, psychological suffering, loss of property, loss of self.
The UESC communications you intercepted indicate a desire to "contain" natural resources from Tau Ceti IV. The is not the first time the UESC has withheld information to maintain unethical advantage.
Naturally, the UESC will not share any of their findings willingly. To enable independent study, we require samples of natural materials from different areas of the colony.
While planetary resources are currently abundant, times of scarcity are inevitable. With your help, Traxus can safeguard against market volatility.
Through your intel, Traxus has identified several priority areas for resource extraction. These areas are heavily guarded by UESC personnel.
Further information on our competitor's deployment strategies would be beneficial for our records. We request that you appropriate colony technology to acquire UESC operative coordinates.
Using this location data, you will be able to challenge the UESC's anticompetitive practices with corrective use of force.
Our corporate biotech analysts have reviewed your findings. Interestingly, they've identified a significant delta between the visible age of the samples and their spectral carbon dating results. In other words, the tests indicate the samples are older than they appear.
This discrepancy is unlikely to be an error originating from proprietary Traxus lab equipment. To confirm the results, our analysts require samples that have spent less aggregate time on the surface of Tau Ceti IV.
Hostile Runners will provide an efficient source for harvesting such materials.
