The undead Ambassador has as much patience as the dead, waiting on his visitors to mull through their thoughts and respond. "Payment would of course be provided; I'm not expecting this to be a charity service. 1000 credits per person, upon your report."
He pauses, considering the 'salvage' question. "As for what you can take, the ship technically is being contested by two Corporations for ownership rights, so what I can say is that you can take whatever you believe you can get away with that they won't notice. I'm the Mediator for the dispute, not a security guard. I find their squabbling and proxy warfare distasteful, so I wish you good hunting."
He lowers his voice to the point that only the three of you can hear him. "There is one additional detail that I'd like to ask your help with," Nor says, steepling his bony fingers. "Among its other cargo, the Acreon was carrying a package destined for this Embassy, myself in particular. Of course, with the ship being quarantined, the package has been rendered undeliverable. I've been eagerly awaiting its arrival, and I'd consider it a personal favor if you could find the package and bring it to me when you return to the Station. It's clearly marked, so I don't imagine it will be too difficult to find. And if that is accomplished, I will double the reward for your services."
