That name isn't particularly good for it, but the idea would be that an NPC had data deleted by an unknown source and wants you to help find them... You would have to trace back through a series of bounces leading to another NPC (or a PC I suppose) and then, through some means, submit the IP to the mission. If you submit the wrong IP, you would no longer be able to do the mission.
Jeez, kinda hard to code that.. It's all up to Sir Emi but i support the idea.
