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

With his finger pressed down on the trigger, Avery sent unrelenting blasts into Ezra's stomach.

Even after firing several times, he did not stop. Not until the program announced his victory.

Fortunately, Ezra did not have any other tricks hidden up his sleeve, and the matched ended when he was determined to have been "killed" by Avery.

It had been a close battle that had swung back and forth, but Avery had managed to eke out a victory thanks to his risky strategy. Had he made a single misstep, Ezra would have taken him out easily.

"Now that you've won. Would you mind getting this power armor off me?" Ezra said, interrupting Avery's internal celebration.

Turning his attention back to his opponent, Avery saw him slumped up against the wall and no longer resisting.

Nevertheless, the bulky Sterkur Power Armor still had its weight against him and was using its artificial muscles to hold the man down.
