Quota

4:58 PM on Assurance. Everyone Dies. Picture this run. Day 3, quota is 800 credits. Assurance, free landing, low risk. You and three friends drop at 8 AM with stamina bars full and a plan that doesn’t really exist. You split into pairs. One pair pushes left through the maze of corridors. The other goes right.
