The moment the Level 1 mission flashed on the screen, Kendrick, code name Obscura, barely glanced at the details. A simple flicker of text was all it took for him to press [ACCEPT].
It was muscle memory by now.
Level 1 and 2 missions in The Archive were usually low-risk. Surveillance and information gathering. Basic drills for nulls. Obscura didn't need to overthink it. With rewards ranging from 50 to 150 null points and some spare cash between $10,000 and $50,000, it was easy work and worth it.
They needed to rack up null points to level up, after all. Grinding Level 1s and 2s was the norm.
On the other end, Eclipse was already changed into her soft cotton pajamas and nestled into bed when she got the notification.
