O: Holy shit they actually did it-

J: You had doubts?

O: No, but I mean, we did put our lives in their hands?

M: Heh, c’mon it wasn’t really in their hands, we had control of the situation.

H:  We did? I thought we were prepping something else?

???: Mr Leach had to get involved, his intervention helped. Either way, the footage that was taken will provide excellent promo material for the next campaign ‘Crazy Train, How Fortune Saved the Galaxy’. Rolls right off the tongue, according to our marketing team.

H: Woh woh woh, we used Mr Leach?! I thought we were avoiding him? What changed?

???: A former top bounty hunter, a ‘CP Man’, was there. We couldn’t risk him ruining the operation.

H: Oh my god- … Wow, is everyone ok?

???: Most are in good health. more importantly WE are in good health.

G: This is the second lead we’ve had on Remnant now in the past two months. They are active again.

M: Yeah, lil' odd that they’re coming back at the start of the season. First, they’re buying planet crackers on Coalten, then trying to destroy the HQ station? Ballsy.

???: THEY-… They are an inconvenience, its nothing we’ve not faced off in the pas-.

O: In the past? In the Past Remnant was just some… Gang, a group of wack-jobs with a chip on their shoulder. This? THIS! Is organised. We should be waging war against these fuckers. What about the rest of the bandits? From the train? We can't let this get out-

???: Now-now… We’re already putting plans in motion to handle this... Problem. No prisoners~

As soon as the engine shut down, the train started to rumble, no longer pushing into the physically impossible realms of speed. It was now naturally floating through space, slow enough for other ships to catch up with it and bring it to a gradual halt before it could even get close to Fortune HQ. You’d done it.

You had saved the day.

As you disembarked from the train and got on your official Fortune transport, you were instantly bombarded with press teams. You expected medical help, but the best they were going to give you were PR and marketing managers, rambling on about scores, trends and god knows what else. It was tedious, but all that something settled easy with you. You’d saved lives… And earned a fuck ton of money doing it.

Once the transport docked and you got off, you were greeted with a round of applause. A small group of staff and civilians surrounded your ship and cheered as you appeared, along with a scattering of flashing camera lights and video droids. Quickly Fortune security got you through the crowd, shoving and pushing people aside before they got you to a debrief with the rest of the team. Safe and sound inside Fortune HQ.

Before moving inside, some of you noticed something… Strange. In the hangar off to the side, away from the press, a gathering of Top Bounty Hunters were talking with a few serious-looking business people and… The stranger with a smiley-faced mask you’d seen before. You didn’t get a long look at the situation but you could tell they were on their toes around the figure. Rothchild and Xapi off to the side, a little hunched, Kenneth folding his arms tightly and Delilah… Looking… Timid?

Before you got ushered away into the HQ compound for your de-briefing, one of you picked up a name that connected a few pieces of the mystery when the Manager firmly gestured to the man, referring to him as:

‘Mr. Leach’

It has been a few days now since ‘Project: Crazy Train’ — the latest in the long line of Fortune's publicity stunts. The news reports had already spread wide across the galaxy, propagating your fame and success across blogs and TV screens. There were glamour shots of everyone dancing their way to freedom, enduring the struggles of outer space and facing off against the bandits. Another step toward fame and fortune; this time you were at least C-list celebrities. It was pretty great but, unlike last time this… This felt better. You’d saved a lot of lives and done a lot of good in the galaxy.  

Days like these sometimes made it all worth it.

Then you got another message from your lords and masters… And it got even a little bit better.~

An all-expenses-paid Company Holiday!!
