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

Kasandra and Kaiden looked towards each other for a few seconds and seemed to come to a silent agreement.

They both knew at some point that they would need to tell Avery about who they had been in the past. And this recent attack was going to serve as the catalyst.

"Fine. We'll tell you about it, but only you. If you want to tell everyone else afterwards, then that your decision to make." Kaiden said bluntly.

While Kasandra seemed to have made peace with telling Avery already, Kaiden was clearly disgruntled by being forced to divulge secrets he would have rather kept between him and his sister.

Regrettably, Avery could not be any more accommodating considering the circumstances.

A group of dangerous thugs had just tried to abduct Kasandra and Kaiden, putting everyone else at risk in the process.
