An Opportunity In Chaos
(Hydra Star System- Interplanetary Space Station)
(Cargo Bay- Auction Hall 012)
"Two million Enas!"
"Three million Enas!"
"No… stop bidding… fuck…"
"Four million Enas!"
A crowd gathered around a sharply dressed man who confidently puffed out his chest and loudly repeated the bids that were offered.
Behind the man were numerous steel crates stacked so high that they appeared to reach the ceiling of the hall.
Inside each crate was a rare material called Noxien only found on the planet Xercois in the Unovan Syndicate.
Officially smuggling materials across the Federation border was a crime punishable by death for commoners and resulted in a hefty fine for the nobles.
But… there was always a way to get the authorities to 'overlook' such auctions as long as the price was right.
