This sector is split, very few worlds have the technology required to communicate with each other, and piracy is common. There are little to no ship industries, so there is very little resistance for you, Thinnot Brythant, as a smuggler for The Mask.

I decide to do some reading on the planet Toldeo. After all, why not? The Odin has a pretty large library, they must know something about what I might be able to smuggle up to here. |

Toldeo doesn't have much, it is a quiet planet with not much population or valuables. That is actually one of the reasons the Odin has been orbiting it for several months now. Toldeo and the Limnoraea system are very out of the way. |

I'll go and wait for my next job, I guess. |

You have mostly a free reign, you may go and please as you wish, pick up whatever you like to bring back, unless there's a really important thing to do. |

In that case, I hang around the library for a bit longer. |

You hang around the library for a bit. Not very many people around today, and no books that catch your eye. |

Where is there that I can grab something to eat? |

If you want to head over to the mess hall, then yes.
(By the way, I nudged your character so you have the Outlaw storyline, since it doesn't really affect anything except reactions to you. Police won't instantly recognize you, but if they capture you they can run scans. Ye still have a job as a smuggler, subtype of outlaw.) |

I go to the mess hall to eat some stuff. Wonder what specials they have today...
(Okay. I originally said ancient threats because I thought that it would make for an interesting story, given my character, but if outlaw is easier for you, I'm okay with it.) |

You go over to the mess hall. Nothing really catches your eye, just usual foodstuff.
(You can have multiple storylines. You still have Ancient threats as a storyline, but you also have Outlaw.) |

I grab some food to eat, and a drink. I look around for anyone who seems important.
(Oh, okay.) |

There are a couple of ship control operators sitting at another table, but other than that just the usual riffraff onboard the Odin. |

I eat my food, knowing that if I'm needed, I'll be called over. |

You eat your food. Nothing unusual today, at least nothing that requires your particular skills. |

I go back to the library, because why not? |

You head back to the library, and find a couple of interesting reads. |

I borrow one of them, and make a mental note of the names of the others. |

What's the books name? Oh, and I begin reading it. |

"The life of Tim Goldjarn", which is a detailed autobiography about a crewmember in one of the giant colony ships that came to this sector after fleeing earth. |

I keep reading, as its quite intriguing. |

You keep reading.
(Are you going to do anything else, or am I going to have to severely damage the Odin to get you off of it?) |
