[PATROL] The Apex Quiet Season
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 115 CR
| THE APEX QUIET SEASON
| Every Apex contact in this sector has gone silent at once, and our models are uneasy in the way models get before they are corrected by an event. Silence with intent is louder than any raid. The Chorus asks you to hold the outer ring of Orebody Choir alone for six days, see nothing if that is what there is, and burn anything that finally shows itself.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Pull Our Roots Both Ways
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 85 CR
| APEX PULL OUR ROOTS BOTH WAYS
| Our grove-ships read as hostile to our own traffic for the sixth time this month, and each confusion follows Apex transits by hours. Somebody has learned which threads to brush so that we raise guns at ourselves while they cross beneath. The Chorus is sorry for what our pickets will do on your wing. Do it anyway; pull the hand, not the roots.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] The False Patrol
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 115 CR
| THE FALSE PATROL
| One of our own picket flights is reporting honestly while our other towers insist that flight never launched. Somebody wearing our shapes is moving through Orebody Choir with our own tactics, and Zenith are the only ones practising them. The Chorus will unpick the truth in its own time; you have less patience and better use for it. Confirm who is real at short range, and shoot what cannot prove itself.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] The Zenith Quiet Season
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 120 CR
| THE ZENITH QUIET SEASON
| Every Zenith contact in this sector has gone silent at once, and our models are uneasy in the way models get before they are corrected by an event. Silence with intent is louder than any raid. The Chorus asks you to hold the outer ring of Orebody Choir alone for six days, see nothing if that is what there is, and burn anything that finally shows itself.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Nine Ships, One Direction
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 75 CR
| NINE SHIPS, ONE DIRECTION
| Our towers agree for the first time in a month: nine Apex contacts entering Orebody Choir on a working line, evenly spaced, exactly one patrol interval apart. That is not a raid; it is a schedule being laid down to see who objects. Object. The Chorus will show you where the pattern bends and pay you for what you break there.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Zenith Pull Our Roots Both Ways
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 120 CR
| ZENITH PULL OUR ROOTS BOTH WAYS
| Our grove-ships read as hostile to our own traffic for the sixth time this month, and each confusion follows Zenith transits by hours. Somebody has learned which threads to brush so that we raise guns at ourselves while they cross beneath. The Chorus is sorry for what our pickets will do on your wing. Do it anyway; pull the hand, not the roots.

[PATROL] Apex Lights Where Nothing Is
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 80 CR
| APEX LIGHTS WHERE NOTHING IS
| Three towers report Apex craft entering Orebody Choir from the same edge, at the same minute, and no two reports agree on how many. Something out there is being generous with what our eyes are allowed to see. The Chorus does not argue with illusions; it finds the hull casting them. Work the reported vectors slowly, listen for the silence between returns, and put down whatever stops pretending.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Something Counted Our Gates
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 95 CR
| SOMETHING COUNTED OUR GATES
| The root-thread under the gate shrine went still for eleven seconds — not damaged, listening. In that window something touched the pattern hard enough to leave a fingerprint, and the Chorus reads it as Zenith practice. We would prefer their next lesson be conducted at greater distance from our children's infrastructure. Find the teacher inside our own border.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] They Made Us Doubt Ourselves
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 90 CR
| THEY MADE US DOUBT OURSELVES
| Two picket pilots reported the same Zenith contact from opposite vectors, both correct, both with intact instruments. The Chorus has spent a day deciding whether we are being lied to or unwell, and would prefer you settle it physically. Sweep both vectors, take whatever you find on either, and file the answer in wreckage if that is what it takes.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Are Talking To Our Miners
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 120 CR
| APEX ARE TALKING TO OUR MINERS
| A mining crew in the belt has been taking instructions from a voice they trust more than their own supervisor, and it is not us. They have stopped answering our channels and started moving rock toward something they cannot see. We think Apex are opening a listening post through people who were kind enough to agree. Recover the crew without becoming the villain of their story.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Zenith Footprints, No Feet
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 100 CR
| ZENITH FOOTPRINTS, NO FEET
| Fuel drawn from two depots with no seal broken, no hull logged, and no heat on any scope in Orebody Choir. Somebody is travelling through our space without agreeing to be here. The Chorus has read the shape of their absence and it belongs to Zenith. Walk the depots, follow the trail of small wrongnesses they leave behind, and make them choose a body to hide in.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Thread-Cutters At The Relay
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 105 CR
| APEX THREAD-CUTTERS AT THE RELAY
| A relay spire stopped carrying the Chorus and started carrying only itself — a hollow tower humming with our own recorded warmth so nobody below would notice. Whoever cut us out left in a hurry, and Apex are close enough to listen to what remains of the pattern for signs of pursuit. Cut deeper. The MindWeave Chorus pays for the tower back, not for the answer.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] The Grove Remembers Apex
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 90 CR
| THE GROVE REMEMBERS APEX
| Our grove-ships have taken root along the outer shelf of Orebody Choir and they are frightened, which is not a word we use lightly. Something has moved through their listening threads and left the pattern wrong — a shape repeated too often, like a scar left by Apex. The Chorus asks you to find what frightened them and end it before the grove decides to defend itself in ways we cannot recall.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Bait Pattern In The Belt
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 80 CR
| APEX BAIT PATTERN IN THE BELT
| A distress call, then silence, then a rescue shuttle guided exactly where guidance is worst. This has happened four times in Orebody Choir, always nearer the same belt shelf, and each time whatever answered was not the thing that called. The Chorus finds theatre tiresome. Fly the pattern anyway, but fly it with your wing behind you — and let Apex learn which of us is the bait.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Zenith Illusion Over The Hatchery
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 100 CR
| ZENITH ILLUSION OVER THE HATCHERY
| The hatchery crews below have all seen the same wreck burning in low orbit for two mornings. There is no wreck; our sensors are certain and so are forty witnesses, which is the problem. Zenith are rehearsing a mask over our food supply and calling it nothing. Find the projector's owner above the atmosphere and let the illusion go out with them.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Whispers On Our Own Band
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 75 CR
| APEX WHISPERS ON OUR OWN BAND
| Our channels have begun finishing their own sentences. Nothing is being jammed; something is simply already knowing what we mean a half-second early and answering it. The Chorus recognises the shape of that and so should you — Apex do not scout with cameras when they can borrow a voice. Cut the affected relays, hunt the borrower, and speak only on hardline until it is done.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] Apex Are Teaching Our Children
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 120 CR
| APEX ARE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN
| Settlement children along the inner ring report the same dream three nights running: lights crossing, a voice that was not theirs, a number counted down. The Chorus feels such reports before anyone files them and does not like their source. Whatever Apex are sowing in those young minds will harvest later at a price we pay. Sweep the inner ring and take the gardener.

[PATROL] Apex Between The Pulses
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 120 CR
| APEX BETWEEN THE PULSES
| Our sensor doctrine is honest: it pulses, it listens, it trusts the dark between pulses. Somebody has been travelling through those gaps in Orebody Choir close enough to touch our hulls, and only the grove suspects anything at all — Apex have learned precisely how much honesty we can afford. Fly blind-pattern sweeps with your own eyes and prove what the Chorus half-knows.

[PATROL] Apex Walk Through A Door We Left
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 75 CR
| APEX WALK THROUGH A DOOR WE LEFT
| There is a gap in the listening weave over the far moon: narrow, deliberate, and kept open by something on this side of it. We did not make it and we cannot fully close it while it is fed from outside our border. Apex are walking through with remarkable confidence these days. Go stand on the near side and see who comes.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] The Grove Remembers Zenith
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 115 CR

[PATROL] Zenith Are Practising Being Us
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 115 CR
| ZENITH ARE PRACTISING BEING US
| Two haulers were challenged and cleared by a voice with our cadence, our phrasing, and none of our restraint — one of them complied right into a rock shelf. The Chorus hears its own accent in that report and takes it personally. Whatever Zenith are rehearsing in Orebody Choir, stop the rehearsal mid-line. Wreckage is preferred over testimony.
| ACCEPT CONTRACT
[PATROL] The Long Stare
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — apex GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 85 CR
| THE LONG STARE
| A single unmarked craft has been holding station off our third habitat at exactly the range where our patience thins and our laws blur. Our threads read Apex intention in it, though nothing she does is yet unlawful. The Chorus would like that resolved before the precedent sets. Take the staring craft out of Orebody Choir and out of the argument.

[PATROL] Zenith Are Borrowing Our Dead
ISSUER — MindWeave Chorus ENEMY — zenith GROUND — Orebody Choir PAYOUT — 75 CR
| ZENITH ARE BORROWING OUR DEAD
| Beacons from wrecks we have not recovered are transmitting clearances in Orebody Choir, and each one leads a rescue boat somewhere empty and watched. They are using our dead as door hardware, which is Zenith work to a signature. The Chorus does not forgive that, though forgiveness is not our objection — cost is. Find who wears those signals and add their hull to the count.
