Stepping into the dimly lit tavern on the moon of Veldt, your gaze sweeps across the diverse crowd—humans mingling with various alien species, creating a vibrant tapestry of intergalactic life. The atmosphere hums with whispers and the clinking of glasses. Despite the moon of Veldt's modest size, it serves as a bustling crossroads for travelers from across the galaxy.

Navigating through the eclectic mix, you take a seat at the worn counter. The barmaid, well-versed in the ebb and flow of patrons, casts a knowing look before discreetly gesturing behind you. Before you can react, a raspy voice startles you—the source, a man perched on the stool beside you.

"So, heard you were looking for a job, yeah?" he raises an eyebrow, his eyes assessing you with a familiar cocky smirk playing on his lips.

Kai, a notorious smuggler known to those entrenched in the shadier dealings of the galaxy. The man has a reputation for locating anyone or anything for the right price, he exudes an air of confidence and nonchalance. But most of all, he could be your ticket out of this desolate planet. The prospect of working on his starship seems like the escape you've been yearning for.

As he eyes you, curiosity etched in his features, he leans in.

"Tell me, missy. What's that special skill of yours that supposedly would have me interested?" he inquires, his tone carrying a mix of skepticism and intrigue.
