## Intro

*"Last we left off, our intrepid heroes, all aboard The Wurst, had just rocketed into faster-than-light speed from Rec 97, having successfully stolen Aurora Nebbins, the royal blue mastiff. Having successfully gotten paid from their first Smash n'Grab gig, with a 25k data card and a 5-star rating from Hyacinth Khrome for the surprise destruction of her archrival at the Carbine Kennel Club Dog Show, Myalor Nabthacks. We also got all 10 of our Jib-Job workers safely aboard The Wurst, with a new kitchen modification that ups their fees with a wonderful menu being prepared by the scion of the royal house of Rubian V, the Princeps Zortch. And with some successful negotiating from Margaret Encino, all of your meal costs have been destroyed because you all now get staff meals through Jib-Job. Huge deal, every little bit counts. Not only that, Margaret Encino has re-registered your ship under the name 'The Wurst', redone the transponder codes, the ship no longer has the used condition, you've got a half a tank of fuel, you just stopped by -- after losing some weaponry in the Emerald Comet House of Fortune -- stopped by at Krystals and Things to re-up on grenades and guns and weaponry and all that stuff like that. Oh, and one other thing as well: you also have Gnosis, a planetary supercomputer from Rubian V that is a super-powered artificial intelligence that the Princeps Zortch absconded from their homeworld with for a little rendezvous with Lucienne Rex, now promoted to Crown and Scepter Limited and the former friend of Margaret Encino. This is your 'friend'. But, the Princeps came aboard, you recovered Gnosis, the supercomputer, and tapped into it to see that it was able to show you all these various things across the galaxy. You saw Barry 9, in gold-plated space armor, kicking the shit out of Hogg Cobb whose jetpack Skip had stolen. You looked at his Smash n'Grab successfully, and you also learned the origins of Gnosis, which were a collaboration between the monarch of Rubian V and their scientific department and some ancient Terran technology, courtesy of the planets from the Griivarr worlds, from Hon Grii. And we see indeed that all Gnosis wants to do is help out. But what does that mean in a galaxy filled with people whose intentions are not always pure?*

*"The ship travelled through real space, keeping a low profile, from the Martini Nebula and the Krystals and Things all the way to the world of New Texas, a far-flung Amercadian colony world that's sort of a little rough and tumble. And we ended touching down at a ship nursery here in Baustin, New Texas, with mutated jackalopes, string-light saloons, the sound of distant laser fire, and electro banjo playing from a bunch of different speakeasies, saloons and cantinas, and a big ol' billboard saying, 'Keep Baustin Weird.'"*
