[The feed opens to a young woman standing in front of a rental house. A sign is attached next to the door with "Jade & Co. Photography Services" written on it.]

Hello, I'm Jade, and I just arrived here to open my business. [She moves the camera to a better view of the sign.]

Jade and Co. is a freelance photography business. I do personal portraits, photojournalism, nature shoots, whatever. I've done work back home on documenting species inhabiting my planet, so I can help out with scientific studies if that's what you need.

[A pause.] I'm also capable of traveling outside of town. If you need pictures of the area surrounding the resort, I'm the one to ask.

Thanks.

[archeologue]

We have many artifacts that need documentation for archiving. And our digs could use an on-site photographer when you are available.

[ratkicker]

Perfect. [A hint of a smile.] The digs are more of my thing.

[archeologue]

Then I welcome you to the archaeological team. It is a very rewarding field.

[And he means that in both the personal and financial sense. The latter especially so if one is willing to steal and sell on the black market.]

[ratkicker]

Great. Any place I should meet up with the others?

[Of course she's willing to sell on the black market if it means making enough money to get through another month.]

[archeologue]

We have currently been excavating an area of the ruins on the edge of town. If you go to the museum and head due west from there, you can't miss it.

[ratkicker]

Thanks. I can head over there now if you need me.

[archeologue]

Yes, come. We can make an in situ record of some minor artifacts that we've found.

[ewestmarch]

If you're Jade, who's the "Co."?

[ratkicker]

That's what we're called back home. I'm just keeping the same name here.

But if you want to help out, you free to join.

[ewestmarch]

[She's not going to admit she's never touched a camera, had never seen one before coming to Quadratus.]

Not looking for work just now but thanks so much.

[usfuzzies]

No specific requests at the moment, but if you catch any odd animal behaviors on film, I'd love to have a look. Any shots of the invasive species during their daily lives, too.

[ratkicker]

Great. How much do you pay for a shot?

[usfuzzies]

It'd be charged through the Terran Institution of Xenosciences-- they don't require exclusive access, they'd just want copies. Fifty sols per full resolution image-- that's about seventy ems, locally, if I'm converting right.

If I need something specific and hazardous we can hash out a better contract.

[ratkicker]

[Sols? Ems? Don't they use Credits here?]

I'm not from around here. How much can that buy?
