In Halifax, a place full of secrets, I was looking around for answers. As I lingered, a mysterious figure slipped me a note, the words etched with intrigue - "Undock and wait for instructions."

Curiosity getting the better of me, I followed the directive. The moment my ship slid into the void, a cryptic message materialized on my screen - "Move to sector 2-B, right at the edge of LD-14 Uranium Field."

Cruise engines engaged, I navigated until the ominous sector loomed on my radar. Multiple blips appeared, painting a picture of concealed activity. Out of the asteroid field emerged multiple ships.

There it was - The Steward, flanked by nimble light fighters. His voice crackled over the comm, echoing through the void.

The Steward: You've made a lot of noise, Corsair. You better have a good reason.
Me: I've been chasing shadows. Bounty hunters on my tail, someone feeding them info. I'm after Gaian ship tech, not trouble.
The Steward: Ship tech? That's a bold quest, Captain. Why should I believe you?
Me: Mollies are rallying the troops against us Corsairs, and I figured a Gaian gunship could level the playing field.
The Steward: Enemies and technology. Interesting mix, Captain. But make no mistake, cross me, and you won't live to regret it.
Me: I'm no one's enemy here—just a captain looking for an edge.
The Steward: You're looking for something, Captain. I might have it, but it won't come cheap.
Me: Spit it out then. What's the price?
The Steward: Rumors say Corsairs control the flow of Xeno Relics and Artifacts. I need some. Deliver 50 Xeno Relics and 500 Artifacts to Halifax Freeport, Dock 27. If it checks out, we talk business.
Me: Xeno Relics and Artifacts? That's a steep ask.
The Steward: You want the edge, Captain. This is the cost. Don't worry; I'll make it worth your while. Deliver the cargo, and I'll contact you to continue the dance.
