Received via: Direct referral from a university contact — a professor with prior agency history
Location: Sealed sub-level beneath the old transit works, Founder's Row district
Client: Dr. Osei Marchetti, urban archaeology department

"I've been trying to get access to this sub-level for two years. City finally signed off on a survey permit. Problem is my last research assistant went down there alone to scout it and came back with a concussion, a fractured wrist, and absolutely nothing useful to say about how either happened. I need people who can get me and my equipment in and out safely. I don't need to understand what's down there. I need my data."

What we know: City infrastructure maps show the sub-level predates the current transit system by several decades and was never fully documented before being sealed. Dr. Marchetti's assistant, when finally willing to talk, described "small shapes, fast, more than one" before refusing to discuss it further. The professor is adamant the survey continue regardless.

Recommended team size: 2-4 agents
Danger assessment: Moderate — numerous small hostiles rather than one significant threat

Task: Provide security escort for Dr. Marchetti's archaeological survey

Payout: $300
