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.

"Sometimes I think the guy you fell for is crazy. What do you even see in him anyway?" Kaiden said as he and Kasandra waited on a rooftop with the terrorists attacking Zwarr Construction in sight.

"Well, I like to think that he's just bold. Plus, he can be quite considerate and caring. Unlike someone I know. Now less talking and keep your aim steady. Things are about to get hectic." Kasandra replied irritably.

From her rifle's scope, she watched Avery as he prepared to charge the terrorists' position. They had set up shield generators and had power armored soldiers along the perimeter laying down heavy fire upon the security guards and employees of Zwarr Construction.

It would be difficult to breach their defenses with only four people, but Avery had thought up something a bit wild to make up for their lack of numbers.

"I just hope the colony doesn't make a fuss about his later." Kaiden grumbled.
