BTR Driver — briefing

I was waiting for you! With these frosts and the new heater, business has been booming like never before. PMCs are lining up just to warm up or catch a ride somewhere. And trust me, that’s a lot easier and more profitable than running under the traders. So I started a rumor that my BTR was down, just to keep them from dragging me into their contracts. Figured I’d work for myself for a bit, help out the regular folks too. Only one problem though. I don’t hit the Depot often these days, but I can’t avoid it completely. There’s a bunch of important equipment still there, stuff you can’t just move in one go. And if any rats from my "partners" crew start snooping around, the whole thing goes to hell. So I need your help again. Make sure there are no extra eyes in the Depot, yeah? Just don’t touch the PMCs! They’re my main customers right now, they won’t rat me out.

On completion

BTR Driver: Nice one! I've checked out the Depot a couple times already, saw it all with my own eyes. It's been a long time since it was that quiet there. I've got something ready for you as a thank you. Here, take it.
