This is the first time that they are all going to do a mission as the younger generation tend to only do reconnaissance missions. Since it is Joe that has the invite, he needs to be the one in attendance as the invite is only for the one invited. Unlike what others say about the black market, it is very organized.
The black market for the Deviant items is even stricter than any other market in the world. Each person will pass through three doors made of scanners. Each door will also need the thumb mark of the person invited while the last door will have a cornea scan. Each guest can only bring three people to escort them should an emergency ensue.
