"I wonder how we and the others will have to act together and work as a team if we can't even choose a commander now," Wenling pondered as she headed to the armory. After examining the equipment offered by the corporation, the girl decided to purchase 120 rounds of ammunition for the assault rifle, including 40 armor-piercing rounds, as well as a silencer and a night vision device. (3200 + 8000 + 2000 + 1200 r. = 14400).

After leaving the items she had acquired in her room, Ayren studied the city map, found the nearest currency exchange, and headed there.

- It seems the election of a leader is postponed until evening, - said the Katarian to his friends, watching as the others dispersed. - All the better, we'll have more time to get to know each other.
- You know, I'm starting to think that working for these people isn't such a good idea, - Basil replied worriedly. - It's all too serious and dangerous.
- But the conditions and bonuses are great, - Jerrod interrupted him.
- Basil, I understand your concern, but if we follow the plan, nothing bad will happen to us, - Laurent tried to reassure him. - Besides, we're only here temporarily. We'll earn some money and then go back to our own business.
- That's right, so don't worry, - Jerrod added, patting Basil on the shoulder.
Basil smiled, and it seemed that he was starting to calm down. The three of them headed to the armory.

Once there, Laurent noticed the news being broadcast. What he heard filled him with anxiety, and although he had left his homeland, he still remembered it. He didn't care about the nobility or other wealthy people; he was concerned about the fate of ordinary citizens, from simple families, just like him. He was overwhelmed by unpleasant emotions at the realization that his homeland had been attacked.
- Well, that's news, - Jerrod exclaimed in surprise.
- Great Amrita... - Basil could only utter. His anxiety immediately returned, and with double the force. He immediately began to think that they might be sent to the thick of the action, which made him uneasy, and he slumped onto the sofa, continuing to watch the screen.

- Never mind, someone will stop them, - Jerrod said confidently. - They won't be allowed to destroy or conquer an entire country.
- I hope you're right, - Laurent replied thoughtfully.
After the news report and the discussion, the three returned to their original goal and began inspecting the equipment.
- Do you accept Vironian currency? - Laurent asked the person in charge of the equipment.

"I wonder how we and the others will have to act together and work as a team if we can't even choose a commander now?" Venling pondered as she headed to the armory.

After that, she requested the system to provide the names of the best fighters according to the simulator.

"Hey, do you accept Vironian currency?" Laurent asked the person in charge of the equipment.

— No. John clearly didn't like how his new comrade addressed him.

After leaving the items she received in her room, Ayren examined the city map, found the nearest currency exchange point, and headed there.

The city had the following points of interest:
"Midas" Bank, which was mentioned earlier. "N. Robotics" Headquarters, which is involved in the development and assembly of a new generation of drones. The doors of the main building of "Kassio Medical" were open to everyone who needed treatment, implants, plastic surgery, and much more. The Cosmodrome was not of great importance at the moment, but here you could apply to participate in a project to colonize a remote system. The launch of a spacecraft was planned for December 1258. "Red Triangle Industries" Headquarters offered a wide selection of military equipment. The "Machete" Club consisted of wealthy shooting enthusiasts. Periodically, they fly beyond the southern wall of the old world, where they hunt. "Mera Noire" produced expensive women's clothing, perfumes, jewelry, and so on. A mercenary was unlikely to find anything of interest here. "Asode" is a world leader in the field of information and communication technologies and also offers its services.
The "Lupin" Organization, in addition to being a major supplier of natural resources, also provided the residents of Nevermore with Tyrian weapons and medicine. Many people (mainly children) were often provided with free treatment with the personal permission of the organization's owner. At "Areumdaun Motors", you could get wheels. Also, one could not fail to notice the "Golden Dragon" casino in the center of the city, the only place in the city where you could gamble.

Currency exchange rates
1 I = 20 R
1 H = 8 R
1 D = 0.0588 R
1 K = 0.4 R
1 DE = 0.0769 R
1 Q = 5 R

Employees of such corporations as Thant Technologies were provided with a loan of up to 1 million r.

Noticing John's reaction, Laurent apologized, explaining that he was upset due to the bombing of his homeland. Thanking the man, the Katarian and his friends headed into the city. They had lived in Nevermore for a year and knew all the interesting places. First, they went to the bank to exchange their money.

-143103 D; +8414 R
-82774 D; +4867 R
-74827 D; +4399 R
-91709 D; +5392 R

After exchanging currency, Ayren went to "Kassio Medical".

Ramzan decided to repeat the challenge: this time without armor, with only a knife and enough explosives to complete the task. He wrote on his arm with a pen: MINES.

- It's not enough, - Jerrod stated with dissatisfaction.
- It's enough for now, - Laurent replied.
After the bank, the trio headed to "Kassio Medical". The Vaironian had long wanted to improve his body and decided to check out the range of services offered today.

Ramzan decided to repeat the test: this time without armor, with only a knife and a sufficient amount of explosives to complete the task. He scribbled on his arm with a pen: MINES.

Initializing maximum difficulty level...
As before, Ramzan briefly lost consciousness and woke up not remembering that it was just a training exercise. He stood knee-deep in snow, which greatly hindered his movement speed, and a blizzard significantly limited his visibility.

Mara glanced at the menu and placed her order. "A Sanex milk, please!" While the bartender prepared the order, she turned to the people who were talking. "I don't want to disappoint you, but Helligkight's actions could very well affect your lives. Mr. Brown even had to interrupt the briefing when he received information about what happened."

- Here, take a look, - Laurent handed the tablet to Jerrod.
Jerrod glanced at the list and grimaced.
- So, are we heading back? - Basil asked.
- No, let's stop by "Red Triangle Industries" first.

The bartender had to go to the back room to fulfill Mara’s order. Apparently, such requests are not common here.

- I don’t want to disappoint you, but Heligkight’s actions could very well affect your life. Mr. Brown even had to interrupt the briefing when he received information about what happened.

— I told you! And you were trying to prove me wrong...
— All of this doesn’t mean anything. It’s perfectly natural that such an event would require careful observation, but it doesn’t mean that it will somehow affect us.

After glancing at the available services, Ayren turned to the nurse:
- I would like to undergo a diagnosis; I have a serious illness. My previous doctor left some notes in my electronic medical record, and I can provide those as well.
