“An intoxicated vagrant Unbound is still an Unbound. Things they consider junk could be technological artefacts of incalculable value to us!”
“Or they could be extreme threats,” intoned Solei. “The time they accidentally pulled a derelict infected with a self-replicating biomechanical nanophage out of hyperspace is well known.”
“Glasner please, there are better ways of doing this.”
“Such as?”
Gale brings up a map of the Higg system on the AR display. Several lines spiral outward from the Boson Halo Yard.
“The ship that damaged the Yard and killed your predecessor was clearly some kind of advanced stealth ship. We haven’t detected any unregistered FTL transitions so its highly likely the ship is still in system. We think it’s trying to coast into deep space on inertia. If we can deduce its exit vector, we can intercept it and study it.”
“We could also try searching the Old Imperial Bases on Higg. Records from the old regime whisper of black sites and secret projects sealed away during the collapse,” mused Solei.
“Even if we could find such a site, those tend to have traps and failsafes that will activate should anyone not of the Imperial bloodline attempt to access them.”
“There is one other option,” Gale glanced sideways warily. “The Solar Union have expressed interest in providing clandestine support to us in our war against the Raihan Throne. Pact Leadership is wary of getting entangled with one of the region's major powers, but they are desperate. If you were to push for it, there would be enough political will to broker a deal.”
Ugh, politics, you didn’t care about politics… then again; you didn’t care about politics.

>Get high on Sauce. (ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!?)
>Track down the stealth ship. (Solve a puzzle)
>Search the Old Imperial Sites on Higg. (Take a risk)
>Get in bed with the Solar Union. (I sure hope this has no unforeseen consequences)
