Back Story :-

Unit Union is the largest natural resource gathering company in the world; over 50 years ago, they lost contact with their largest mine, 3384, Gaeyar Summit; after sending a team to investigate, communication was last once again, and no one who went to mine 3384 has come back. However, that means their raw resource is untouched, ready for the taking.

Maintaining a crew and airship is hard work; the world is drained almost fully of its resources, the air is toxic, demand for everything is at its highest, and brave captains venture to the harvest reachers in search of the scraps left.

Your crew is down to you and a small unhelpful group of misfits. To keep the power on and you in the sky, you must make a complex discussion, take the mine 3384 contract, or Give up your seat as a captain and find a new job.

The Crew:-

PAC - Personal Assigned Carrier:-
this unit will follow you to the ends of the earth, helpfully carrying anything you ask it to, always has your back, is not significant in a fight…, does not have a lot of carry space…, and uses a high amount of resources to keep running…, slow…., a bit glitchy…., not the smartest of automation…., apart from that, everything you could ever ask for in a companion?

Jimmy Jim:-
The last of your faithful crew to stick around, no idea why, he’s not that good at anything, he runs communications, when he can be bothered, “well at least it’s better than nothing!” Nothing would be better in this case, but you can’t be in two places simultaneously, and the automation can’t fly the ship, so you are stuck with him.

Bird!?
You don’t recall hiring him, and you have no idea where they came from, but they are helpful and, by doing Jimmy’s work for him, keep you in the air, ask no questions, and everything will work out just fine.
