Commission of a OC's and NPC's TRPG party.
In the words of the commissioner who provided a perfect description from where the basis of the piece came from (some elements were changed):
''The crew of "The Lux" have a rendezvous with a potential buyer on a desert
moon. They need money and the pre-collapse tech that they looted is less
useful to them than the cash they can convert it into. Nobody knows the
buyer and everyone is on edge as an ambush is as likely as a sale.
RAD1X and Atticus stand together in the foreground, planning. They look at
a data-pad that Atticus is holding and are clearly discussing some finer
point of their plan. RAD1X' drone is flying above them on overwatch.
Behind them, The Lux rests on her landing struts, her engines cooling in the
evening air with a "tic, tic, tic" sound. Her name is visible, painted on the
hull and illuminated the way Terran airlines used to highlight their liveries on
the tail of their airplanes This is the only nod to the vanity of the owners.
The rest of The Lux shows signs of the hard life she leads.
A ramp extends from her belly to the ground, light spilling out of it. At the
foot of the ramp is the truck with Fuji standing guard, rifle at the ready, alert
for any danger. Shoresy and Take are moving a hover-crate down the ramp
and/or are loading it into the truck bed.
The desert stretches out behind them with only a hint of low hills or mesas
on the horizon to break up the monotony. Overhead, stars are beginning to
appear.''
