The idea of space excites me. However, as history has shown us, space has always been difficult for humans to reach. Including myself.

So why not experience that adventure by convincing me to join a pirate crew...

...and attempt to kidnap its infamous captain?

I had no idea who I was dealing with.

My name is Simon Fox, and I just graduated from cargo ship school with failing grades. Don’t tell anyone, by the way, because I lied on my resume.

Nobody would do that, would they?

The pirate ship in question is called Unbound. It’s that piece of scrap metal on the cover, and it went from zero to satire faster than a magazine trip. The crew is stinky, crazy, and annoying. I also hope they can’t read.

Anyway, you’re probably wondering why a space idiot would attempt this crazy mission.

I have a good reason, and it starts with the master plan and the entry hatch...
