Description:
Post-hope-noise-punk icons “An Incident” have just finished recording a concert for their upcoming “Live from the Loss” album at the Trabajo enclave in Colorado. On the way back to the recession the helicopter transporting the band suffered a mechanical failure and crashed into a densely wooded area.

The Takers must recover the drives containing the masters and get them returned to the Client via drone back in the Recession.
An anhydrous ammonia cache would do wonders for the enclave's farming efforts. Unfortunately for the hungry masses, you've just been hired by the local doctor to secure it for ... other purposes.
Description:
Anhydrous ammonia could increase your enclave's farming yields greatly, helping to put food in the bellies of your dependents. Feeding the people doesn't earn the same Bounty as this job though. Secure the ammonia for the enclave's doc so he can make some more of his "medicine" for the masses. Who needs a good meal when a stimulant keeps you going longer? Who needs a full stomach when you have a full wallet?
Another Taker has chased Mr. Jols and come back alive. Now they're looking for a permanent retirement home far from their current enclave. Your crew has been hired to find them that new home.

You crew needs to find a suitable home for "Pike" and their family, far from their current enclave so they might retire in some semblance of safety, security, and not being targeted by every thief, con artist and scoundrel in the area.
Food production is currently unable to fully meet the enclave’s needs, but quality fertilizers could potentially push the crop yields far enough that the enclave could produce all its own needs.
Description:
With modern advancements allowing aeroponic and hydroponics to be grown year-round, the need for fertilizing material has only increased. Especially now that there’s no more commercial access to manufactured fertilizer. Luckily a nearby cave system that was formerly part of the State Parks of the region was home to a gargantuan bat colony. Bat guano is a natural antifungal substance that is high in saltpeter making it an excellent and organic fertilizer. All that’s needed to turn a profit here is a strong set of backs, a few shovels, and sacks.
