What now?

Take a Job and get to Adventure!

You plop down into the Captain's Chair and put your feet up on the control deck, the steel spurs of your leather boots putting a few more scuffs in the well worn metal. "Alright Zero, Bring up the Holo's, if you please." You hear the happy chirp of your personal assistant as a series of holographic screens pop up in front of you. "Sure thing, Boss!" You reach out and throw aside a few Holo-pages that you aren't really that interested in right now. Daily fuel reports, updates from social media and a coupon for some place called "Madame Ruby's House of Sin." Okay, that last one might be useful. But the rest is pretty boring. _"Hey Zero, could you bring up my messages please?" He does so with a simple "Here you go!" _You mange to sift through and find three jobs that could really be something.

The first is a personal missive from King Tiren, the monarch of a nearby system. His family is one of more powerful organisations in the galaxy and this job is most likely going to pay out the ass. Plus it apparently concerns his daughter, Princess Roxanne, which is a good thing in any kind of job.

The second is what appears to be a group message from a company called "Wagon-Train Explorations," calling for experienced explorers to accompany a group of scientists in the exploration of a newly discovered star-system. Danger, treasure and the first dibs on naming any new stuff they find. It sounds like a very involved commitment but could be very lucrative.

The last message is from an old friend of yours, an android dealer named Vegas. The message is vague but promises a cut of what she calls "the score of a thousand lifetimes."

A trio of adventures. Which one do you pick?
