# Getting a job

We went to talk to K'Kra or K-Kor's "Independent Detective Agency" and talked to him, signed the non-disclosure agreement, haggled for pay and accepted the job!

60 credits per day and person, 60% of the reward at the end, whatever it might be! The job is most interesting: to find a human woman called *Luce*, nearly 28 years old, who disappeared when she was 26 years old. Her father is an upper class descendant of the initial exploration team for this world, called *Vincenso*. When the official police reports came back without answers, he asked K'Kra to take a second look. But K'Kra hasn't had much luck in finding people to do the job, travel off-system and all that. But now we're going to embed ourselves into the investigative life and I'll write a great ethnography and submit it to the Great Planetary Ethnographic Studies Competition next year.

In any case, six weeks ago a photo showed up with a woman at a beach in a resort. The photo appears to be eight months old. There's a 70% match between the picture and the biometric records K'Kra had organized. We made a copy. Dental records, genetic testing samples, that kind of stuff.

Strange that the official investigation didn't turn up anything. The picture shows a few other humans but K'Kra says no matches were communicated. Could be data protection issues since he's not related or it could be that there is some sort of cover-up. Or perhaps father and daughter had a falling out? Did she run away? We'll have to be careful, here.

On the way back, Blugna mentioned that there was a camera facing the door in that room and no protection against laser-based eavesdropping. If we do bring back news of Luce's whereabouts, we'll have to make sure that K'Kra doesn't make a run for it. He certainly seems to be believe that the reward will be "millions and millions" of credits.
