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

After Avery and Jasmine had gotten a good distance away from the warehouse, the two of them stopped and waited for the others to meet up with them.

Both of them were breathing heavily and looked sick because of the act they had just put on. While they had not incurred any physical damage, it had certainly brough them no small amount of mental distress.

They had needed to act like they were absolutely depraved to sell the act. In the heat of the moment right when Kasandra and Grito were coming out of the vent, Avery realized that the guard that had approached them was getting suspicious and he had done something horrible to Jasmine.

She had played along, but just remembering it made him feel like throwing up.

"Never again. I'd rather just start shooting than have to do something like that another time." Avery said, his expression one of utter disgust.

"I know it was my idea, but I think I agree. That was far worse than I thought it would be."
