MegaC

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.

Path to Becoming the Greatest Space Mercenary

Over the next three days, Avery and Kasandra mostly lazed about inside of the Dauntless.

After getting through two harrowing battles without much time for rest, they decided it was a good time for a break.

During this time, the only thing they did that could be considered work was allowing Ardesen and his team onboard to scan the entire vessel.

Fortunately, this only took a few hours, and then they were back to lounging around.

Eventually, it was time for them to leave their slothful life behind and get back to business.

The day of the award ceremony was upon them, and it would not do to miss it without a good reason. The last thing they wanted was to offend the Alliance Police who were trying to honor them.
