+ Chapter 1: Crazy Train

Fame is strange,

You can’t help but think how its already changed your life so soon and so fast as you rest back in your pilot’s chair, sipping on your VR headset and delve into the virtual safe haven you’ve built for yourself, away from the noise of the paparazzi.

Some people spend their entire lives struggling to earn fame through honest means, trying to be funny, creative, inspiring, others a dishonest one of infamy, cruelty or just outlandishness, creating endless controversy and stirring trouble.

However, despite all this, very few get past their 10 minutes of fame, yet here you are, a pull of a trigger, a swing of a fist and you’re on every other billboard and holo-ad as you slowly climb the ladder. Want it or not, you are growing in status and intentional or not you have the ‘It’ factor all of a sudden.

Well someone has to be famous, so why not you right?

?: “Leadership meeting 98, 01:034:11” a voice speaks on an old recording device, VERY old.

M: “Why can’t we just fuckin do this back at the station? With a computer?”

J: “Because of the security breach, obviously”

H: “Breach? What do you mean? We’re the most secure company in the known galaxy?!”

G: “Evidently not. That ‘game’ the recruits played the other week seemed to have a backdoor we did not account for. I am still looking into it personally.”

O: “Do we need to call Mr.Leach in for this-”

?: “We do not need to hassle Mr.Leach with this ... He is busy on another assignment and will only be used when it is necessary.”

J: “Agreed. It would be overkill if we send our best and it turns out to be another young Kenneth having fun or another young Delilah throwing another tantr-”

[ INFORMATION REDACTED AND EXPUNGED ]

?: “Agreed, once we have a lead we will send the Exc’s in to clean up like they did on Coalten”

M: “… or”

H: “or?”

M: “.... or me and the rat have a better idea” Sound of paper clapping against a table fills the silence as hands move to take it.

G: “Is this reliable?”

M: “My guys never screw up a prophecy, never been wrong before.

?: “So what do you suggest?”

O: “ Well, If we’re gonna handle the problem … may as well make some money out of it~”

Your phone buzzes and gives off a god awful annoying noise, a new ringtone Fortune installed on your device to make sure that you were at least going to pick it up to turn it off, the Fortune App opening instantly as you swipe to unlock as you’re greeted with that same stupid looking emoji. Time to get to work.

“A fond warm good morning Bounty Hunters!

I hope you have all had a lot of fun with your games

And your headhunting, because the real work

Is about to begin~.

As part of your contract, you are obliged

to partake in any and ALL PR stunts,

and oh boy do we have a doozy~”

Within seconds you’re sent a briefing document titled ‘Project Crazy Train’, and a link to some old vintage Terran ‘heavy metal’ with a crude remix. It’s long and extensive, full of prompts and specific orders, some of you even given the exact outfits you need to wear on the day, but in a nutshell, it sounds like a mix between some sort of deathmatch and a train heist?

X-Y Cargo Trains are some of the oldest running transport ships in the known galaxy, Giant long cylinder ships built to last millennia in deep space with a minimal crew and defector shielding strong enough to nose dive them into stars and planets without much damage. These titans normally can’t turn or use weapons, but once they pick up speed they become near unstoppable fortresses, gliding through slip-space and moving from one end of the galaxy to the other at incredible speeds to get to their destination. You can’t even shoot these things out of the sky when they hit max speed with only a handful of ships can catch up to them, traders use to call them ‘Jugganaughts’.

Now imagine one armed to the teeth, packed full of organised criminals, radical techno terrorists, political extremists and homicidal sociopaths that need to be stopped?

According to Fortune intelligent operatives, a group of such criminals are planning to hijack a Juggernaut and fly it through the heart of 13 different planets as an act of ‘defiance’. To sweeten the deal their first target is Fortune HQ, you can’t even make this up!

The how and why doesn’t matter anymore, as apparently the group have already set sail across the southern quadrant and are going to be picking up enough speed in a matter of days, and there are no other organisations in the galaxy with the resources to stop then, except for Fortune~.

So buckle up for your TV debut and get ready to save some worlds in your first official assignment ‘Crazy Train’.
