The flight computer ends up going to the Aroth, who smugly taunts all the others and calls her crew to prepare her ship for loading. She plans to head through Invictus, referencing a "Pirate's Nest" that you did not know of before, and posting an escort mission on the station's bulletin. The reward would be 30 SUP, should you pass through the system without encountering threats, but pay will increase by up to 200% depending on the amount of combat that occurs.
The next item is a containment unit filled with an engineered algae-like organism suspended in a polymer matrix. The lifeform is known for its extremely virulent growth, but it reacts negatively to a specific microwave frequency. This allows enemy bases and ships to be overrun and then cleared by broadcasting said frequency.
The economist leaves the auction, leaving the bid between the Centauri captain and the PXE agent. The Centauri expresses a significant interest in a possible promotion opportunity, but lacks the funds to outcompete the PXE employee, who wishes to use this item for research, rather than warfare.
"Come down here and prove it you cowardly braggart. replies kenjaro.
wait for him to climb down, if he doesnt tgen climb up and try to either get up over the edge or grab a limb he attacks me with and throw him off the edge.
"Oh yeah? Here I come!"(6) He vaults over the railing rather than taking the ladder, then creates a shockwave upon landing, launching you a couple of meters and knocking you down.
"Come here and face me like a man, not a worm!" He holds up both fists, and starts approaching carefully as you return to your feet. He is blocking the way to the ladder, and there aren't many environmental objects around you. Just a glass floor and the expanse of space beneath your feet.
((Right, this! Sorry!))
Safely break the rare potato's and sell them for SUP's, then search for a gunsmith or enchanter.
[1+2] You try to find a buyer for the potatoes--one that's initially willing, that is. The hangars are filled with merchant captains, lone shippers, scavs, and the occasional bounty hunter. None are in the mood to make an investment.
Instead, you investigate the regions of class aboard the station, mainly restaurants. As you exhaust your options, you finally overhear a conversation taking place between two men at a table behind you.
Stranger 1: Quite. My journey to the Acheon Remnant was less than fruitful. I expected to find the planets of gold from those tales told of other remnants. Instead I discovered a rogue singularity that nearly damaged my ship!
Stranger 2: Indeed, the markets are ripe for a new source of gold around these parts.
Stranger 1: I have recently set my sights on the shores of Blaskowitz, thanks to the kind astronomers at Hawran. The Ross have granted me an exploration permit, which I shall use as soon as the military allows access. I won't let lawless nobodies get there first and undercut my yields.
You slip a note on the men's table instructing them of you contact address--a temporary one on the local station network. You receive a response within minutes.
Ah, not willing to take the risks, eh? I will make sure your supply yields good value.Potatoes will be worth 20-50 SUP.You will have to discover a way to safely detonate them, since you can't do it just by throwing them to the floor. That could kill people, and it would be rude.

[1] Unfortunately, there is no enchanter available at the station. Nor is there a dedicated store for weapons, [3] although you locate a merchant smuggling a shipment of arms through Ross space. They are fine arms, originating from a supplier in deep space tha specializes in energy weapons. Using a twin-field proton lattice and a psionically stabilized positronium gain medium, the weapons fire resonant photon bolts at hypersonic speeds. These weapons are incredibly energy-efficient and incredibly powerful, so most authorities have justification to suppress their transport.
Hours ago, a full-on skirmish broke out between the Ross patrol and the Centauri vessel. The two vessels are both boarding the unknown vessel, and have engaged in a search-and-destroy missions to neutralize each other's troops and board the other vessel by proxy. Both vessels have had their main drives disabled by weapons fire.
