4. ''If this is your 1st or 2nd assignment for the day, the journal message is reverted to step 1. If this is your 3rd assignment, the quest is removed from your journal.''

==Rewards==
* 1 [[crimebusters IOU]] for each completed assignment (up to 3 per day)
==Notes==
* This quest is repeatable daily. 
* The time it takes to get a radio call is between 2:00 and 2:25 hours.
** The time can be shortened by using [[throwing star - black hole]] in combat.
* As the table above suggests, you will not be assigned to a location which is inaccessible for your level. However, the location can be inaccessible due to not finishing a quest.
* After failing to adventure in the location for 1-4 turns you get the message:

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0"
|- style="background-color:#EEDDDD"
|Phil's voice hisses over the radio. "Sorry, <name>, but it looks like we may have missed our chance. My pre-meter's gone blank. I'll radio you as soon as I get another signal."
|}

This reverts the quest to step 1, and the assignment failed is not counted for the limit of 3 assignments per day.
* The quest is canceled on rollover.
