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.

"Oh, they must have been prudes then. That means I wasn't the first one though. I'm starting to feel upset."

"Sorry babydoll. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. How about I buy you some expensive clothes."

The guards standing watch outside of the warehouse that Grito had once been held in suddenly heard loud and obnoxious voices approaching them.

From the content of the conversation, it was easy enough for them to imagine the type of people talking. And the moment that the two came into view, it all but confirmed their suspicions.
