“Good. Keep me posted on our progress,” Spacedawg replied, still immersed in the grim details before him.
In the conference room, the senior officers gathered to discuss their approach. The atmosphere was tense, but there was a shared sense of purpose.

Ezra, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, stepped forward. “I’ve seen firsthand the damage these companies can do. I’ll help you navigate their defenses, but be prepared for anything. They’re ruthless.”
Spacedawg gave a curt nod. “Thank you, Ezra. Your assistance will be crucial. Let’s move out.”

Ezra handed over a small device. “This should get you past the initial security. Once inside, you’ll need to find their mainframe and download the incriminating data.”
Spacedawg took the device and nodded. “Let’s get this done.”
The away team, led by Spacedawg, docked at the station and made their way inside. They moved swiftly and quietly, bypassing security with Ezra’s codes. The interior of the station was pristine, a facade of corporate efficiency hiding the rot beneath.
As they reached the mainframe room, Renée began hacking into the system. “I’ve got access. Downloading now.”
Suddenly, alarms blared, and security forces converged on their location. “We’ve been compromised,” Ezra warned. “We need to move.”
Spacedawg drew his blaster. “Hold them off while Renée finishes.”
A fierce firefight erupted, the team using cover and tactics to keep the security forces at bay. Renée worked quickly, fingers flying over the console.
“Got it!” she exclaimed. “Let’s go!”
The team fought their way back to the docking bay, narrowly escaping the station. As they sped away, the data they had gathered revealed the full extent of NovaPharma’s crimes.
Back on the Mandoleer’s Folly, Spacedawg sent the evidence to Celine. “We’ve got what we need. Now it’s up to the RCSC to bring these bastards down.”

As the crew prepared for their next target, they knew the battle against corruption was far from over. But with each victory, they brought the Canadian Expanse one step closer to a brighter future.
