According to him, more than a year ago, he had hired the group to observe the vacuum bubble teleport signals near Mach's Trusted Star System.
Once the signal appeared, the group would dispatch satellites to carry away the vacuum bubble safes that arrived in the area and deliver them to Mr. Skull.
But now, the satellite was missing, and it was unclear whether the vacuum bubble teleport signals had even appeared, let alone any vacuum bubble safes.
Distressed, Mr. Skull had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, finding the group's advanced pilot, Great Practitioner, and issuing them a hiring order.
This order, when applied to the players, naturally turned into a hidden task.
Seizing the moment, Great Practitioner decided to pretend to help the group in their search for satellites and synthetic humans, secretly carrying out Mr. Skull's hidden task.
Performing two tasks simultaneously and earning double the task rewards; how delightful!
