Garrosh.

Few manage to die before they are even born.

At first, no one responded, but then the face of a fair-haired Khonthai appeared on the screen placed on the door.
— Don't worry, Miss Haiste, you will be completely safe here. Rest.

- You know, I was sure that Brown sent someone after us. This mission reeks of something rotten from a mile away. He'll have to explain some things when he gets back.
Ramzan packed Mara Schiller's body into a sack and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
- I think whoever knocked you out must have left a trace in the system. If Lupin provides Tant with that data, we'll catch the bastard. Alright, let's finish this job, - he patted the sack.

- Okay, as you wish, - was all that remained for Ayren to say. And she once again drifted off to sleep. The following text does not contain game-related information: ...The man sat at a table in the bright kitchen of his cozy little house, turning a newly purchased high-caliber pistol in his hands. The weapon gleamed mesmerizingly in the sunlight, and Ayren couldn't take her eyes off it, quietly watching from the hallway. - Honey, come here, - her father suddenly said, as always aware of her presence nearby. When Ayren approached him, he held a black polymer sheath in his hands. With a slight effort, her father drew a beautiful combat knife with an engraving of a clenched fist from it. - An old friend gave it to me today. He's leaving the country, gathered some money, and will be gone tomorrow morning, - White Tiger put the blade back into the sheath and handed it to his daughter. - It's yours now... You can dream of anything.

Arnold stood near the building for quite some time, lost in thought. Finally, he shook his head, dismissing the gloomy thoughts. He needed a distraction, so he went to the spaceport to find out what interstellar journeys were being planned there.

In the center of the room, behind the main panel, was a busy Khontai woman. The man who brought Vladimir here told him to ask her for help.

- It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful girl here - the former police officer smiled - my name is Vladimir Konovalov, and I was told to ask you for something.

- You know, I was sure that Brown sent someone after us. This assignment reeks of something rotten from a mile away. He'll have to explain some things when he gets back.
Ramzan packed Mara Schiller's body into a bag and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
- I think whoever knocked you out must have left a trace in the system. If Lupin provides Tant with that data, we'll catch the bastard. Alright, let's finish this, at least, - he patted the bag.

-I also thought it was a setup. Let Jonathan explain to whom and why all this was needed, unless it was his doing. However, I don't think we'll get any explanations from him.

Arnold stood near the building for quite some time, lost in thought. Finally, he shook his head, dispelling the gloomy thoughts. He needed to distract himself, so he went to the spaceport to find out what kind of interstellar journeys they were planning there.

There, he was told that an expedition into space was scheduled for the end of 1258. Its goal would be to colonize a planet suitable for human life and subsequently establish a settlement there. According to the staff, the Yangtze Empire had already managed to colonize one planet in our system, but without special equipment, humans cannot live there, and for the most part, this planet is used only as a resource extraction site, while Nevermore plans to create a new home for humanity. About three thousand people of various professions are invited on board. Before the start of the expedition, its organizers will select the lucky ones from those who have applied.

"It's nice to meet such a beautiful girl here," smiled the former policeman. "My name is Vladimir Konovalov, and I was told to contact you."

"Good job," said the girl, ignoring the compliment. "In the current situation, the chances of saving both of them were extremely slim. The money has already been transferred to your account. Do you plan to cooperate with us further?"

This time, Ayren woke up because of an annoying voice coming from a small screen. However, this time it wasn't a girl on the screen, but an unfamiliar guy. His appearance was, to put it mildly, strange, starting with his golden eyes with snake pupils. Maybe she's still asleep?

"Are you going to keep lying around?"
_______________________
Wenling and Ramzan get rid of the corpse, as they were instructed. When they demanded explanations from Brown, he began to answer with a question: "Do you know anything about the Vaironian group known as 'Vasaria'?"

-Vasaria? I've never heard of it, - replied Wenling. -It's probably just one of the many gangs in this country.

— Good job. — The girl brushed off the compliment. — In the current situation, the chances of saving both of them were extremely slim. The money has already been transferred to your account. Are you planning to cooperate with us in the future?

—Address me informally, what's with all the formalities? — Vovchik winked at her — and yes, if you had contacted me a little earlier, I would have managed to save them both. Those bastards entered the building almost at the same time as me. Well, and I won't refuse to work for you. This means that we are now colleagues. What's your name?

Meanwhile, Basil decided to purchase a drone, choosing the following components:

Armor: 500
Movement Speed: 15
Attachable Modules: 2
Weapon Slots: 2
Evasion: +75%
20000 R

Nethack Advanced
OD: 10
Accuracy: 30
Evasion: 30
*The drone gains the ability to hack systems
45000 R

Cargo Compartment (incompatible with Volant)
5000 R

Jamming Generator (incompatible with Volant)
Prevents communication within a 500-meter radius
20000 R

For the weapon slots, he asked to install an old shotgun of Jerod's and an electroshock weapon, which is usually used as a module. Basil also bought a phone for Jerod.

“That’s right,” Braun agreed. “The only difference is that this ‘gang’ is the strongest of them all. They have bases in almost every corner of the planet, and their arsenal is not limited to nuclear weapons. Their technology is quite outdated compared to ours, but they have far more resources and capabilities. So, your operation in the Northern Frontier had very unfavorable consequences. It so happened that the squad you engaged was a Vasarian one. And even though you killed a few people and shot down a VTOL, causing quite a stir, the situation could have been smoothed over, especially considering that many of the Queen’s advisors were cooperating with Vasaria, receiving significant personal benefits. But what Züter and Schiller did… Va’anj, the Queen’s brother, took advantage of this situation, and as a result, Vasaria lost not only the squad and valuable goods but also such a lucrative location as the Frontier. Worse, all business relationships are based primarily on trust. And since Vasaria failed to fulfill its clients’ orders, their trust has been undermined. There are rumors that a girl from the Northern Frontier was ordered by the Thyrinian Emperor himself, who wanted to have such exotic servants in his home. In short, the result of your mission was significant damage to Vasaria, and therefore they demanded compensation. In addition to the main demand, their leader, Domitius, demanded the deaths of Ayren and Mara. For negotiations at this level, this may seem like a great absurdity, but this man is a real madman and is quite capable of doing the greatest foolish things if you go against him. Of course, he has no chance against Nevermore, but among the local corporations, there are many who would rather let him play war games with us than help maintain order in the country.

Ramzan shook his head negatively, then smiled, frowned, raised his eyebrows, and shrugged his shoulders.

– Are you just going to keep lying around?

– Well, I was actually planning to… I don’t really have much of a choice.
