 Information comes to Mason that the security firm Kilsonic Security has posted additional jobs in their portal. The Portal requires a “Sub-Contractor” card access. Fortunately for Mason, Deston “Snap” Harwood owes him a favor and has access to a card. However, when Mason gains access to the Kilsonic Security Job Portal, the job has already been assigned. At that point, Mason receives a communication from Lionel “Spacer” Garth that he has a hot tip for him. If he's interested, meet him at the unusual location at midnight (provides time for the character to wander around town, See things, and meet people). The Hot Tip turns out to be a high-paying job for a Sector Government representative who needs a stolen package retrieved.  Information comes to Mason that the security firm Kilsonic Security has posted additional jobs in their portal.
