All locations in the inner system take a fortnight to reach from. Because the mission was somewhat important and Shari needed people, he checked which agents were available in the inner system, rather than anyone from Jupiter onwards (which is the outer system, to reiterate; the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is the barrier between inner and outer system).<br/><br/>Honestly, the circumstances of what got you together aren't any big wide conspiracy, you're not being set up for a fall and the Commander really gave you everything he could. Fielding will be more useful to the lines of questions you have, I'm sure. Things you may have glanced over I placed into Shari's dialogue as aside comments, so you haven't missed anything important.<br/><br/>Though keep pulling at the strings, it's fun to me to tighten things up and answer if I can do. :)
