My name is Amelia Cavas, I’m an independent journalist. I was going to ask you for help, but now I’m not so sure!

Our apologies. When a strange ship is flying around our Station, we tend to get defensive.

Look, I just want to talk. Is there somewhere safe we can go?

Right, that’s why you fire on any ship within half a lightyear of it… Fine, let’s go.

No hostile ships as of yet, Commander. However, I am picking up several life signs on a nearby planet.

If that is where the “losers” have gathered in search of the artifact, as Amelia put it, that is where we should land.

So what is your pitch?

Amelia
Dialogue
I’ve been following a story about a race that seemed to disappear overnight, leaving very little trace behind. But there are rumors of an artifact on the planet they used to inhabit.

Dialogue
We did not realize that journalists follow rumors.

Character
Amelia
Dialogue
When there is this much smoke, we follow the fire. There’s no way an entire civilization can leave absolutely nothing behind, so it stands to reason that the artifact is real.

Amelia
Dialogue
And trust me, rumors are more than enough to have every loser with a ship descend on the place to find their fortune. I don’t want those losers to find the artifact first.

So what do you need from us?
Objective ID

Character
Amelia
Dialogue
Firepower. I’m sure you’ve noticed, after you pounced on my ship like a paranoid jungle cat, that my ship isn’t cut out for dangerous assignments.

Character
Amelia
Dialogue
So if you recover the artifact for me, I’ll pay you a nice finder’s fee, and name you in the story. Or I keep you anonymous, in case you don’t want the notoriety.

That sounds reasonable. Point us in the right direction.

Yuma. The place has been taken over by various mercenaries, bandits, garden-variety criminals. But they shouldn’t pose much of a problem for you. Contact me if you find the artifact.

Dialogue
Commander, a mysterious ship is circling our Station. If we have learned anything, it is how dangerous this could be. I suggest confronting and disabling it.
