Why is it that every time we make a groundbreaking scientific discovery someone tries to kill us?

Commander, I have retrieved the sample from Arlen’s workshop. However, word of the metal’s value will likely spread quickly.

We should return it to our Station immediately. It will not be long before other treasure hunters come to claim it.

Welcome back, friends. You left me with quite a task on my hands. I ran every known test on this little piece of mystery and you know what I got? Nothing.

Ha! Quite the opposite! No, I’ve learned that this metal is composed of elements that do not exist. At least, not in our galaxy.

That explains a lot. We will pay you for your analysis and take the metal back to our Station.

Ah, this is where things become awkward. You see, I owe a great deal of Latinum to some… rather large people and this little miracle you’ve dropped on my lap will get me out of their debt.

Of course, I can’t have you coming after me and ruining everything, so I’m afraid I’m going to have to get my bodyguards to kill you. I am so very sorry but… it’s just business.

Not a chance! This is my last hope of getting out from under those Orion bastards. I won’t let you ruin this. I’ll take you down myself if I have to!
