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.

"I'm sorry that I lost my composure during battle. I promise it won't happen again."

Jasmine bowed her head deeply and profusely apologized to Avery and Kasandra.

She had frozen up during the fight with the extremists when she should have been doing her job as a supporter. Kasandra had made sure to cover the work she was supposed to be doing so that Avery would not be distracted, but that was no excuse for her failure.

"Go ahead and raise your head. It's hardly a matter worth fretting over. I should have warned you about what I was planning on doing first. Since you used to be a member of the police, I didn't consider what it would be like for you to experience such a deadly battle for your first time with ship-to-ship combat. That's my fault. Having missiles and lasers large enough to engulf your whole ship flying at you isn't something easy to get used to." Avery said to alleviate any guilt that Jasmine was feeling.
