Right. This pile of junk. Coming from dubious circumstances and of a positively diminutive size, the vehicle is hardly worthy of the moniker of landship - and yet it's yours. It's an absolute rust bucket and you're fairly certain you saw the maintenance team offering sacrifices to the reactor core to placate it, but you still feel like it can carry you to good fortune.
There's just that first bit. Landships aren't exactly small investments. To get this one, you had to. . .
(A) Become a subsidiary of a larger, preexisting firm. You more or less owe them your souls for the next ten years (or however long it takes you to accrue enough cash to buy your own stock out), assuming you can get enough profit in their direction, but once your contract expires you'll be free for real. Sure, there are some strings attached, but
you still mostly direct yourself - there's just the quarterly report.
If you can't make it, though, you'll lose your chance for good.(B) Make some shady backroom deals. The money is good, you think, but the people behind it are rather less so. If you keep your books in the black, there won't be an issue - but
they're going to expect their cash back and then some, or else.
(C) Find and repair a wrecked vehicle in the wilderness. No strings attached, anyone who would have claimed it is long gone. However, it's still
mostly in ruins, so the facilities will need even more work - and good luck if you get caught in a Catatrophe.
(D) Run into a mysterious investor. They simply wished you good luck and departed,
theoretically giving you full control over it, and it's in pretty good shape, but you have no idea who they were, and
they'll definitely be back.
