Deep Space Clean Up


The crew of the Guardian are some of the best deep space janitors out there. You're a part of that crew, and you’ve been hired to locate and sanitize a lost space station, ISS Phoenix. The work your crew does isn't exactly legal, so the clients your business attracts are the shady type. All your business is done off the books and off the radar. Doing business this way can make your crew a lot of money; however, it does make it more dangerous.

You locate the Phoenix, but something seems off. Your ship enters a gravitational anomaly and plummets towards the space station. The two ships collide, and your ship is in no condition to be flown, so you embark into the Phoenix.

Collect DNA, fill syringes at the Syringe Filling Machine (SFM), and equip abilities.
