On one of the many berths in the Benderland International Space Hub, a large green and grey colored frigate rests before it embarks out on its mission. Crewmen can be seen floating about its hull, making repairs and attaching sensors equipment. Crates of fresh food, medical supplies, and other goods. One particularly large crate is labled "Black Warrior No. 2 Thick Lead," another "Bic Ballpoint, blue & black. 5000 count." As well as this, several exotic craft can be seen being towed into a shuttle bay hastily hacked out of the former passenger compartment. Crewmen in white and green EVA suits can be seen welding patches of nitinol to the cracks in the initial cut. This vessel is the LRRSV Beagle, a specially converted Goombridge class transport frigate. A pair of plasma cannons can be seen being pulled across the exterior of the ship by a party of crewmen. When they locate the desired position, they bolt the cannon to the hull and weld it into the cannon interface. Soon, the ship is equipped with four medium fast-tracking plasma cannons.
"Has the cargo been stowed, Mr. Walesa?"
"Oui, toute la cargaison arrimee."
"Mr. Sulu, are all crewmembers accounted for?"
"All hands present and accounted for."
"What is the readiness status?"
"Nous serons prets a naviguer dans les dix heures suivantes au taux courant de reparation."
"Good. Send a party out to put up the advertisements."
"Tout de suite."
A small party of crewmembers proceeds around the interior of the giant station, gluing posters to the wall. They state;
"In need of group of explorers, both of intellect and athletic ability. Small planet to be explored. Details upon contract. Expedition dangerous, cannot promise fame or fortune, or safe return. Please reply to the Starship Beagle, located in berth K-88. Green and grey coloration. Pay expected to be between 50-60 United States Dollars per hour. Meal and room provided."
