Finding Work
The players have all been smuggled into the Zone by the same gang and brought to the Rutherford's Bar. This bar acts as the hub for all trade and activity in the immediate area around it. The bar is run by the Barkeep and his team and is open 24/7. They act as brokers for trade, bankers for everyone's credits and employment agencies for anyone needing freelancers to complete tasks. They will also arrange contracts to be taken out on individuals, act as an escrow service, and provide a home for people offering technical or medical services to ply their trade from.
Missions
All missions will be posted up on a noticeboard for all to see. A short briefing will be attached and any player wanting to go on that mission needs to add their character name onto it. If their reputation is too low for some reason their name will be crossed off by the Barkeep. Missions will go out at fixed times, anyone not ready at the appropriate time will not get to go. Players need to go and collect weapons about 15 minutes before the mission start time. Assuming they are at the Quartermaster's office in time, they will get onto the mission.
Missions will all have a player limit. Once that limit is reached no more people will be allowed on. If people drop out then the spaces will open up to people again. All mission lists will be taken down at the point people need to go and collect weapons and the players on that mission are fixed at that point. Failing to turn up invites reputation damage…
Contracts
All contracts will be openly posted and will be live until rescinded or completed. Some may only be completed at specific times, e.g. the NPC being targeted will appear on a specific mission, some may be possible throughout the event e.g. a contract on another player. Some contracts will be run as missions when the targeted NPC is known to have broken cover.
With all contracts the money is paid out to whoever is first to provide proof of death. A body part is usually enough proof for the Barkeep. If several freelancers wish to split the money, whoever provides the proof just needs to supply the names of the other freelancers involved.
Side Missions
Rutherford's is home to several information brokers, who frequently move between bars plying their trade. They will often pay for data found on missions, or offer up payment to go and find specific information whilst out on other missions. Other NPCs may also offer bounties on specific items found out in the Zone.
