You are an average run of the mill space hopper, relying on scraps you find in space for a quick buck. One day however, a rumor you found finally paid off.

An ancient sort of pristine space station, you often didn’t bother with these but it seemed from the outside untouched for centuries…

Dropping down and landed on your small ship, breaking in you find gardens upon gardens upon garden…?

Looking around you’re annoyed to find nothing of value, just marbled walls, pretty flowers and alien Keepers who mess with technology with orange symbols emerging from their contorted hands and take care of the plants with delicate perfection, some bizarre augmented botanists. They’re oddly humanoid but somethings off… synthetics maybe? Ehh who cares?

This place was useless. Admitting defeat, in your stubborn ignorance, you kick one of the Keepers while on your way out when suddenly it turns to point it’s crooked hand to you, the orange symbols overpower you as your hands and legs fade into similar coded symbols until you’re finally absorbed…

Avina Station Online…

You wake up your hands see through, a hologram? Your body was different, a mix of coded blue and orange but behind the glow was a woman’s artificial body. Now your body.

Avina. You somehow knew that was your new name… your job… you know you have to ward off anyone tempting the Keepers…

You wander the station, past some Keepers, stumbling onto another set of space pirates, just like you were…

They spot you.
