The atmosphere was thick with anticipation as they waited for their guest to arrive.

The door slid open, and Ezra MinerEzra MinerName: Ezra MinerAlias: "The Gentleman Pirate"Birthplace: Ontario SectorAge: Mid-50sOccupation: Former train robber, now a cunning space pirate and master thiefAffiliations: Independent; known to work with various criminal syndicates when it suits his interests Early Life Ezra Miner was born in the Ontario Sector into a modest family.

He took a seat and looked around at the assembled officers, sensing the gravity of the situation.

“Alright, Spacedawg,” Ezra began, leaning back in his chair. “What’s this about? You seem pretty worked up.”

Spacedawg exchanged a glance with Ed before speaking. “Ezra, we’ve been thinking. There’s been a lot of speculation about who’s behind the recent acquisitions of these embattled companies. Ed and I had a discussion over coffee, and a name kept popping up—Evilyn Price.”

Ezra’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. “Evilyn PriceEarly Life Evilyn Price grew up in Potomac, Maryland, surrounded by wealth. Her family was rich, and she always had everything she wanted, giving her a sense of entitlement.  Education In her younger years, Evilyn went to an all-girls Catholic university. She initially thought about becoming a nun, but a rebellious phase changed her path dramatically, leading her into a... More? I know her. She’s always seemed like a nice person, with a heart of gold. She had the guts to ask me directly not to attack her cargo ships. She explained she was on a humanitarian mission.”

Ed leaned forward. “And you believed her?”

Ezra nodded. “Yeah, I did. I verified her claims, and as long as she was helping people, I made sure no harm came to her. But what’s your angle here?”

Spacedawg folded his arms, his expression serious. “We’re wondering if she’s gone a step further. Maybe she’s using the guise of philanthropy to buy up these companies at RCSC auctions, turning them around for profit while appearing as a hero. We can’t ignore the possibility that she’s funding the imposter posing as you, destabilizing these companies to force a sale.”

Ezra frowned, deep in thought. “Would she go this far just to get attention? Probably not. She’s always struck me as genuine. But you’re saying she might be involved in something bigger?”

Renée chimed in. “It’s not just about attention. If she’s orchestrating these acquisitions, she could be reshaping the corporate landscape of the entire Canadian Expanse. It’s a strategic move that would put her in a powerful position.”

J.J. added, “The timing of these acquisitions is suspicious, especially given the humanitarian aid and donations she’s been making. It could all be part of a larger plan.”

Ezra shook his head slowly. “Why all this interest in Evilyn PriceEarly Life Evilyn Price grew up in Potomac, Maryland, surrounded by wealth. Her family was rich, and she always had everything she wanted, giving her a sense of entitlement.  Education In her younger years, Evilyn went to an all-girls Catholic university. She initially thought about becoming a nun, but a rebellious phase changed her path dramatically, leading her into a... More? She’s always been a real hero, at least in my book.”

Abraham spoke up, his voice steady. “We’re not questioning her motives out of malice, Ezra. We need to understand the full picture. If she’s truly innocent, that’s great. But if there’s more to her actions, we need to be prepared.”

Spacedawg leaned forward, his eyes locking with Ezra’s. “We need your help, Ezra. You know her better than we do. If there’s any way to get more information or insight into her true intentions, it could be invaluable.”

Ezra sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do. But I’m telling you, Evilyn’s always seemed like she’s on the right side of things. Just don’t let your suspicions cloud your judgment.”

Spacedawg nodded. “We’ll keep an open mind. Thank you, Ezra. We appreciate your help.”

As the meeting concluded, Spacedawg felt a mix of relief and uncertainty. The journey to uncover the truth about Evilyn PriceEarly Life Evilyn Price grew up in Potomac, Maryland, surrounded by wealth.

More and her potential involvement in the corporate upheavals of the Canadian Expanse was just beginning.
