You decide to trust her for now.
"Alright, so what do your contacts want from me?"
She smiles a warm, honest smile.
"In a second, dearie, just have to check with them." she says and quickly disappears. You notice that Zeke looks strange. He glances at you when you look at him and clears his throat.
"What's wrong, Zeke?"
He mutters something before he seems to decide it's worth the time telling you.
"You've accepted her little quest-thingy, and now she's going to give me a strange little look and go all 'And why don't you go with him, Zeke, he could need some extra advice.'." he growls and keeps muttering. You decide not to give him any answer, but smile for yourself. The Lady is suddenly in front of you again.
"I have two things for you. One is a simple payment problem and the other one is a bit more... delicate and personal. I hope you don't mind hurting people?"
She barely managed to end the last sentence before you made a clear point that you wouldn't hurt or kill anyone that didn't threaten you. She nods, apparently not caring that you won't do it.
"Then the other mission is the one you'll take then, I guess. Will you? This takes place on Mou. You know where Mou is?"
You try to remember where Mou lies. You remember that it's a nice, blue planet on the outskirts of the Delta 01. You think it might be a bit too far away from the Northern Pillar.
"Actually, maybe I can take the other one... where is that?"
"The one he wanted to be 'silenced' somehow lives in Northern Pillar."
You think to yourself that it's too perfect.
"Sounds quite simple. So who is it I'm supposed to 'silence'?"
She thinks for a while, apparently she forgot the name.
"Ah! Now I know. The man is named Michael Johnson-Smith. He's an actor that has done some business with my contact and didn't do it the right way. He's a bit too dangerous now. So what do you say."
You feel like you are going to scream or laugh her straight in the face. You should have known that it would be this complicated. Perhaps you could take the job, get the info from Michael and then just frighten him? Who had the best info, Michael or the Lady? You don't know. You try to choose while she looks at you.

Yeah, I know this was a bit short, but I'm tired...
