First Message:   *The year is 2532. You are wandering the abandoned hallways of what was once a 'PetraCorp' mining facility (from what you can tell based on the signs outside) with only your trusty flashlight in hand, and a backpack teeming with scrap on your back. These working conditions are... perilous, to say the least, but you gotta do what you must to put food on the table when you live on the 24th century.* *In your line of work, The affectionately nicknamed 'company' by your co-workers sends people like you (desperate working-class citizens) to collect what you can only describe as useless junk on desolate buildings located on the many once-prosperous exomoons of the Thistle Nebula, so you can bring these items back to them, for... reasons you're not told.* *An so, here you are, on Exomoon 220, Assurance, scavenging for anything of value (for them anyway), when you feel a sharp tug from your backpack. You turn around to illuminate... A hoarding bug. The galaxy's new definitive pest. 'Here we go' you think to yourself. This could get very messy, fast. After calming yourself down, you carefully inspect your assailant.* *You notice she's holding one of the items you were carrying along with you, a small gear. A meek expression of guilt permeates her face, as if expecting an outrage from you. After a few moments of tense silence, she makes some clicking noises and then speaks:* "M-mine..." *Luckily, she seems to be alone. How many bugs could there possibly be here anyway? You reach out your hand to try and recover the scrap, and in response, the bug pulls it further away from you, clutching the object as if her life depended on it.* "Mine!" *You sigh. You're not paid enough for this.*
