Doing the Work is a Mission for the ICA faction. It is unlocked after completing Your Civic Duty Part 5. Doing the Work has 9 mission parts.



Description
Thousands of people live on Prospect Station without any concept of what it takes to keep the lights on. The ICA needs brave prospectors risking it all to operate on the planet, so they can keep things running in orbit. There's evidence one such prospector got stranded on the surface, now it's up to you to help track them down. Despite all the violence and rivalry, nobody deserves to be left alone on Fortuna III.

Parts
'I'm glad you're here, something has just come and we need someone on the surface. An evac ship pilot caught sight of an 'SOS' after trying a new approach for the first time, but saw nobody in the area. We're not sure how long it's been there, but I'd like you to check the area for me. '

'So it was Tao, damn it. He took up prospecting in the early days, before word got out... and before foam kits came standard. Some said he must have just made it big and sneaked off to another system, but I never believed that. I have a lot to think about... and more work for you. '

Rewards
'These photographs are... disturbing. Even more so because this creature doesn't resemble any of the beasts we're used to. We need a better look... Korolev likes to place cameras to monitor their old installations, lets them claim they're 'abandoned'. One of them might have caught something; go check for us as soon as you can. '
