Super clean design. Maybe it'd be nice to have a version with some colour. Slight information ordering issue in that if you read the cover, then the inner flap, then everything else, it's not totally clear when you read the section on Fox Uniform that this is an entirely NPC group and not the players' crewmates.
I got it, but might need to be spelled out a little more that any warning to the FUs that they let a Bad Thing out would be an NDA violation and void any payment the players might get.
At the same time, I feel like there needs to be a way to subdue the octopode and complete the contract, as if they're going to have to kill it anyway, they might as well just violate the NDA immediately. I guess maybe the intent is the players can trap it in the exterior cargo container of the Vulpes, but they won't know about that ship's layout at the time they're first making the decision to spill the beans or not.
I think with the right group of role-players, there's the potential for some real hilarity as they try to plan with each other in front of the FUs without saying the word "octopus." But I think a high chance in many groups the NDA's broken immediately and the scenario just turns into a lot of fighting.
Anyway, very impressed overall. Main criticism is that I'm not sure how well it fits the jam theme. I guess octopuses are underwater creatures, and there's tension "under the surface" of the FU co-op, etc., but I feel like I have to stretch to convince myself it fits.
