Plot
On Edge City, "The Master" is tasked by Coordinator Narvin to travel to the Lehar System to find "The Doctor". "The Master" was told by Narvin to look for a pilot to take him on the rest of the journey, and he complains that he has no money to pay them. Narvin provides a credit card with a million credits to cover his expenses.
As "The Master" wanders through the city, a pickpocket named Kriket stole his card. "The Master" chases after him and corners Kriket in an alleyway. "The Master" manages to threaten Kriket into returning the card as well as assist him in finding a pilot. On the way, "The Master" introduces himself as "Mr. Seta" while Kriket introduces himself as a refugee.
They enter a tavern and "The Master" is introduced to Captain Jovern Morski. "The Master" proposes to pay him to go to the Lehar System. Morski informs he would accept, but his ship, the Domdaniel, has been impounded for non-payment. "The Master" then proposes a plan to steal back the ship.
Later, "Master", Morski and Kriket goes to stake out the Tempest Cube impound. "The Master" uses a pair Ultrasonic Thermo-sensitive Binoculars to scan the impound. The outer wall is 3 meters thick with the inner wall being 2 meters thick, with an energy field in between and drones guarding the entire facility. "The Master" announces they need someone to crawl into a small vent. Morski suggests a Medusan, and Kriket says there's one on Redemption. "The Master" inquires as to her whereabouts, and Kriket says she can be found at the circus.
At the circus, they find the Medusan known as Ilya performing as a trapeze artist. Kriket got volunteered by the others to go backstage and confront her. Kriket confronts her and manages to convince her to come with him. They then go to discuss the plan on breaking in to the Tempest Cube impound.
