Obviously, the former option was much easier to accomplish as it avoided many tedious considerations here and there in the process. The matter of income was also part of their concern as the Subjugation Mission this time didn't promise them additional rewards aside from the proof of a destroyed nest.
This means Hespar's unit must account for its own safety, weapon maintenance, medical, and other expenses. And aside from this, they also have to include the number of days spent on this mission.
Placing their focus on the Eastern Royal Mine could be counted as a means to secure a flow of income in the process. Furthermore, it could open up the opportunity to upgrade and strengthen the individual member's combat ability and equipment.
The latter option is more feasible but also harder to complete. Since there's no breakeven point stated on the mission paper itself, it would be entirely up to the unit to decide how much the team had done.
