If you have a general mechanics question that everyone might benefit from seeing the answer to, rather than a question specific to your fact pattern, you can ask us here. (If you do have something specific to your group, like 'what color is the Venatori's dress' or 'can we find a raccoon,' you can ask it as a reply to the assignment itself.) To try to preempt some possible questions:
— Chain of Command: Division Heads are everyone’s boss, and Project Leaders and Assistants should be deferred to on assignments originating from their projects. Otherwise, if a situation arises where you need to know who would be formally in charge—such as if the involved characters are split on how to approach something and someone would need to have the final word—you can come up with your own reasonable answer (“Bob is the only one with experience here so let’s say he's the leader”), you can choose whoever has the highest ratio of consonants to vowels in their name, or you can ask us and we'll decide using another test that is equally arbitrary but more unpredictable.
— Resources: Unless otherwise stated, assume your characters have a budget sufficient to do what they’ve been asked to do, but not enough to be reckless or wasteful. If being short on money would make something more fun to RP, you can do that. If acquiring something extravagant and ridiculous, like a team of dancing bears, would make something more fun to RP, talk to us about it first—not so we can say no, but so we can arrange a way for your characters to luck into acquiring things at a bargain without anyone having to pretend it’s a good use of money.
— OOC: Everyone assigned to the team is responsible for RPing the assignment and getting a report posted by the deadline, and everyone assigned to the team is eligible to earn 5 bonus AC points when the report is done. Extra characters who are brought along or involved but not assigned aren’t eligible for the bonus points. If for whatever reason something can’t get done by the deadline, please talk to us about it! Failing to complete a report without contacting us might result in the group getting last priority when future assignments are handed out.
