As Spacedawg stepped out of the dispensary during his shore leave in the Victoria System, he caught sight of two figures on a nearby parking platform. The name of their ship, “AeroNavis II,” caught his attention, sparking a flicker of recognition in his mind.
One of the men sported a robust mustache, reminiscent of old-fashioned portraits—J.J. Smith. The other, a tall red-headed man, exuded an air of mystery—Abraham Corcoran.
A sense of déjà vu washed over Spacedawg as he observed them, a memory stirring at the back of his mind. Suddenly, it clicked—the resemblance between J.J. Smith
John Jacob Smith is a seasoned police officer from Georgetown, known for his bravery and unique involvement in managing time anomalies. He has become a pivotal figure in handling temporal disturbances, working undercover as Agent 93 for a secretive organization tasked with protecting the temporal integrity of his environment. Early Career and Experiences John Jacob Smith has been a fixture... and his great-great-grandfather was striking, prompting memories of family tales and portraits.
Abraham’s gaze briefly met Spacedawg’s as they boarded the ship, intensifying the intrigue surrounding the encounter.
With a mental note to ponder the significance later, Spacedawg continued on his way, heading towards a café where he was meeting Captain Ed.
As Spacedawg made his way to the café, his mind buzzed with questions about the two men and their connection to his family history. Yet, the bustling activity of the Victoria System provided a distraction, momentarily pushing aside his curiosity.
Upon reaching the café, Ed greeted him with the delicious aroma of freshly ordered pizza, signaling a welcome break from the day’s events.
“Hey, Spacedawg, just in time. I ordered us some pizza,” Ed said with a grin, as they settled into their seats.
Between bites of pizza, Ed mentioned the upcoming cargo run, sparking Spacedawg’s interest.
“It’s a 21st-century suspended animation pod,” Ed whispered, leaning in conspiratorially.
Spacedawg’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Interesting. Where are we taking it?”
Ed’s response only deepened Spacedawg’s intrigue. “Cornelius Bio-cybernetic Industries, at their Ontario SectorOverview A Sector, commonly referred to as a Provincial Sector, is a designated area of space within the broader and diverse cosmic region known as the Canadian Expanse. These Sectors function similarly to provinces, contributing to the organization and governance of this vast territory. Structure and Division The Canadian Expanse is divided into thirteen Provincial Sectors, each with its own... headquarters.”
The mention of Cornelius stirred memories of the two men he had seen earlier, adding another layer of mystery to the situation.
Their meal finished, they made their way back to the ship, where the rest of the crew—The Alchemist, Agent Celine Ebner

Spacedawg’s eyes immediately fell on the mysterious pod strapped to the floor of the cargo bay, its contents obscured by fogged glass.
He made a mental note to revisit his curiosity later and headed up to the bridge to perform his preflight check, the enigma of the two men and the cargo pod lingering in his thoughts.
After completing his preflight check, Spacedawg plotted their course and initiated the lift-off procedures. Despite the recent decrease in pirate activity, Captain Ed remained cautious, assigning Maelstrom
Origin and Early Life Maelstrom, a Gichi-manidoo from the Rogue Moon of Giizis Babaa-ayaa in the Ontario Sector, is distinguished by her blue-furred, wild cat-like features.

The journey proceeded smoothly until they encountered unexpected trouble. Six old Imperial cruisers blocked their path, their intentions clear as they demanded the cargo aboard the Mandoleer’s Folly.
Though the Empire’s influence had waned over time, their desperation for resources remained evident. The upgraded cruisers posed a formidable threat, their advanced weaponry testing the limits of the Mandoleer’s Folly’s defenses.
The situation escalated when a blast struck the Mandoleer’s Folly’s maneuvering thrusters, throwing them off balance. Despite their best efforts, the ship veered off course, plunging them into a precarious position.
As the tension mounted, hope arrived in an unexpected form. Emerging from a tear in the Fold, the AeroNavis II burst onto the scene, guns blazing, swiftly dispatching the remaining Imperial cruisers.
The hail from the AeroNavis II brought relief, their rescuers none other than the enigmatic duo Spacedawg had encountered earlier.
On the view screen, Abraham’s smile was infectious as he spoke in his thick Irish accent, “Looks like you could use a tow.”
Spacedawg couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude mixed with intrigue, wondering what other surprises awaited them on this journey.
