Away Mission
An exploration mechanic where one or more characters embark on an autonomous expedition to gather resources, experience, money, equipment, etc. with limited or no interaction from the player. Exactly what the characters are doing during the mission is either briefly described or left completely to the imagination of the player. The mission takes a set amount of in game time (game days, weeks, etc.) or real time (e.g. 30 minutes) after which the player can collect the mission rewards. Characters on a mission are not available for other tasks.
