conversations.value: The invention of the EmP Drive changed things pretty quickly. Getting to Venus in a few days, Mars in a few weeks, to the edge of the Solar System, less than a year. Everything changed.
  
  Except for people. They're still the same. Bastards, all of 'em.
  
  Sure, some physically changed. The winged Titians of Jupiter, the long headed Martians, and thick skinned Venusians, are now all a thing. Each group adapted to their environments with extreme genetic engineer during the First Wave. They still consider themselves human, although not every one agrees with that assessment, and hell, even some of them do not agree with that, either.
  
  But, for the most part, people are still obsessed with the same stuff: power, money, status, and often, all of that, in no particular order. The Great Earth Powers may no longer be warring with one another, but they are more than willing to take their conflicts out among the void of space. And now, during this Second Wave, they are all muscling for their piece of whatever they can get their hands on, usually at the expense of whomever was there before them. Every settlement and hab is filled with their spies and operatives, and constant skirmishes are fought between their proxies and privateers.
  
  If someone isn't working for a Great Power, they're probably working for a Merchant Guild, or for themselves. There's money to be made, and people are cutting each other throats, and sometimes their own, to make it. Minerals from asteroids, narcotics and spices from Venus, ancient Martian artifacts and colonists from Earth,  can be turned into cash, when they meet the right people.
  
  But to do any of this, you need a ship. A ship with a good EmP Drive, to be precise, a cargo hold, some shields, a few blasters, and a good crew. 
  
  Everyone needs a good crew, which is why we're hiring.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Leader: You are good at managing groups of people, delegating duties efficiently, and getting people to listen to orders. You may not actually have the authority to do so, but, usually, but people naturally gravitate towards you for directions and strategy.

  Another major locale of the Great Game.

conversations.value: Find the Red Land: The Red Land was a transport freighter, pulling some 400 million tons of mineral ore from an asteroid mining operation just past Jupiter. It disappeared on its way back to Phobos Base-1. Search drones were sent to find the missing vessel, but they returned empty handed. Several other intense searches met the same results. A cycle later, the Red Land was declared lost, with its crew missing, presumed dead.
  
  All ships carry tell tale signatures of their passing, including eMp drive wakes and black boxes, that would continue to emit distress signals, even if the ship was 90% destroyed. None of these signs from the Red Land has ever been found.
  
  Maybe, with this tip Captain Senya has, this could change, and you might be the first people to find out what happened to the Red Land.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Board the Red Land: You manage to get The Tortoise synchronous with the Red Land. The spin of the other ship means you can't dock normally with her, so your crew will have to attempt a dangerous spacewalk to get to the stricken ship.

conversations.value: The Tortoise: The Tortoise is one of STS Veer's short range reconnaissance crafts. She crews between ten and twenty teamsters, with space for two pilots at the helm. Fairly roomy on the interior, The Tortoise can operate freely for at least a week, before it needs to return to its mothership. It is a solid craft, with powerful long range sensors and a top speed to rival most ships of comparable size. It even has three gun emplacements, each armed with short range weapons, for those extra special missions. It capable of operating planetside, but is pretty awkward when it comes to atmospheric flight.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This is what I heard...: (Optional)
  The disappearance of the Red Land sure is a mystery, and some of you know more than  others. And some of you have your own agendas in relation to it. Perhaps you should take the chance of letting select members of the team in on your thinking. Of course, it is probably best not to let Doctor Buck Zai know what is on your mind.
