Salvage

Today marks your best prospect yet after you discover a rather rare mineral deposit within the kuiper belt. It was hidden within the hollow remains of an unusually dim asteroid which may explain why it was so difficult to locate from a distance. Selling off the prospect was easy as almost every single scavenger within earshot were struggling to win the bid. It ended up going to a weaselly gentlemen by the name of Horus.

Horus is a mysterious man with pockets as deep as the black color of his depressing attire. As a matter of fact, you have never seen the man in nothing other than black. He never speaks nor does he work with a partner. It comes as a surprise for you that such a remarkable man with so much capital would rather work completely alone versus having at least a bodyguard.

You have Horus a data chip containing the coordinates and prospect of the rare minerals in the kuiper belt. A faint sense of joy emanates from the gloomy gentlemen which is by far the most emotion you have ever seen come from him. He slaps a credit chip into your hand worth significantly more than the original bid. It brings a smile to your face as it was enough to finally pay off your junker of a freighter.

You make your way back to your freighter and plot in a course back to the kuiper belt. If you were able to make a score that big there must be more. Maybe you will finally be able to afford to settle down on the surface rather than living in the cramp quarters of your freighter.
