Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. 

He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on.

Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space.

With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.

"As I'm sure that you must know, the spacecraft you have come into possession of is a model of ours that we had been in the process of perfecting. It's still experimental, and thus the only one of its kind. We would like it returned to us." Dorris said, laying out their desire right from the start.

Avery's only reply was a disgruntled frown. Naturally, no one would be happy if someone came up and told them to hand over their property just because it used to be theirs.

He did not interject yet, though. It was clear that the Chief of Finances at Storren Corp. had more to say.
