- The crew are hired to rip off a prototype machine from a corporate lab. They can infiltrate the lab and retrieve the machine with an Extract job, and then try to smuggle it through the systems to the client with a Deliver job.
- The crew are hired to eliminate a local crime syndicate manufacturing dangerous narcotics. They can track down the syndicate's base of operations with a Hunt or Investigate job, and wipe out the gang and their lab with a Junk or Fight job.
