Dead drop, anonymous, cheap. Harrow the Gray Zone is a processing-plant district — shift workers, bunk housing, subsistence wages. The contract is bare-minimum: no staging, no attribution requirements, no recovery clause. It reads like someone with limited resources and maximum anger posted it. A new freelancer needing any work at all would consider it.

Muntz is a supervisor at the Harrow processing plant who has been reporting workers to a labor retention contractor — an entity that operates debt-bonded labor pools and pays a finder's fee for workers who are 'voluntarily' leaving their bunk-housing assignments. The workers Muntz has flagged have gone missing. The dead drop posting was made collectively by a small group of plant workers who pooled their wages over two months to afford it. They are not wrong about what Muntz has done. The freelancer, if they take this, is being paid by people who can barely afford food to remove a man who has been selling their coworkers. The moral weight is dirty not because the target is clean, but because the situation — the retention contractors, the debt bonding, the desperation that produces both the problem and the contract — is a machine, and killing Muntz turns it a quarter-rotation at most.
