Low-tier, anonymous, barely documented. Eastbridge is deep the Gray Zone — Tier 1 territory where ACS doesn't bother patrolling unless something valuable is threatened. The posting is cheap, the target is described as a fence, and the anonymous client handle gives nothing. A new freelancer looking to build a vouching chain might take this just for the work record. The payout is enough to cover a month in a the Gray Zone bunk with some left over.
Pockets is a fence, that much is true. What the posting omits is that Pockets has been quietly moving evidence — physical documents, printed photographs, a hardware drive — that document an ACS sub-station commander authorizing the execution of five the Gray Zone residents during a clearance operation six months ago. The 'handoff' mentioned in the posting is a delivery to an Underdeck documentation collective. Pockets isn't moving contraband. He's moving evidence. The 'Reclamation Service' handle is almost certainly someone in the local ACS structure, possibly the commander himself or a proxy. The freelancer is being offered eighteen thousand Quanta to kill a man for trying to get dead people documented.
