A possibly dangerous job with a boatload of payout, which was come up with by the Lord Protector himself? This certainly sounds interesting. I'm reminded of the scene from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood where the tunnel explorers encountered Pride, and only one returned. The perils involved aside, it could be particularly useful to get on the Lord Protector's good side, and this seems like a decent way to start in that direction.
That said, once again Mia is another main factor to consider here. Quite obviously this won't be a job that we can just bring her along on, unlike the previous job. Moreover, we don't even know how long such an expedition is going to take. It could only take a couple of hours. Then again, it could also take days, even weeks of searching. What about Mia then? Plus, keep this in mind: Mia isn't looking at us as favorably as she was before (she calls us "father" and not "daddy" like before). On a somewhat unrelated note, it is possible that we could be getting much less from this job if a lot of other fixers decide to take the job as well, if they survive. Because of the nature of the payment, there's no rush in accepting the job.
All in all, I think that the best option at this point is to decide after a couple of days of deliberation. That way we can possibly gather some more information about the job. Maybe get some advice from some connections of ours; especially if we know anyone from the Praetorians or Hocus Pocus. And most importantly, talk to Mia about it. Tell her about what we're considering and ask her what she thinks about it. She certainly won't like it if we just say we're up and leaving for a job all of a sudden without asking her. Maybe talking to her will get her to like us better again. I wanna be called daddy again, dammit! >_<
Also, unrelated note: if Mia doesn't like salad, we must get her those high-fiber granola bars to take care of the fiber intake. Very tasty :9
