Putting Together a Plan
Choosing an Approach
There are always multiple ways for your crew to approach a job depending on your strengths, weaknesses, and connections.
The available approaches are:
- Deliver - Transport someone or something to a destination while evading detection or resistance. How will you transport the target to keep it safe?
- Extract - Retrieve someone or something from a secure or perilous location. How will you get in to reach the target?
- Hunt - Track down someone or something that is hidden or guarded. What leads do you have on the target?
- Junk - Destroy something to hide evidence, intimidate someone, or salvage parts. What will you use to damage the target???
- Fight - Eliminate or fend off an enemy force in open combat. What is your point of attack?
These approaches all have overlaps, the key is which details your crew feel most confident filling in.

Chaining Jobs
Each Job is relatively straightforward, so chaining Jobs together is a great way to develop longer or more complex missions. For example:
- The crew is hired to take out an infamous criminal, but her whereabouts are unknown. They can track down the target with an Investigate job, and then arrest or kill the target in an Hunt job.
- 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.
