The date is 666 United Space Year. Hyperion-3 exits through Jump Gate into the Gamma Utena, Centauri Sector. The small brown dwarf is orbited by two barren planets and ring of asteroids and minor planetoids between the two, something that Hyperion has to keep an eye on during its trip through the belt. At the inner edge of the belt is Gamma Utena Spaceport, one of the largest in Federation, as it was constructed enveloping third-largest planetoid in the belt. It is also the seat of Federal Regional Government and headquarters of Centauri Republican Party, which is pressing for stricter control of citizens' employment and migration (to curb crime and insurgency risks) and less industrial, bio-engineering and terraforming regulations (to promote economic growth and planetary development).
Once Hyperion-3 docks with the Spaceport, Yarna Collins asks Zirconius to lend her Chester-Beta42 as bodyguard, and Mikhaila Syarkova, as she did research on the communications core and read some logs personally. Zirconius acquiesces to the request, but orders Chester-Beta42 to keep an eye on Collins' activity. Collins then takes her two newfound companions on a trip to the Ground Sector, which is where most of Spaceport's crew has their quarters and suites. On the way there-[SLEEP PERIOD HAS BEGUN. SEEK A PREFERABLY COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SLUMBER UNTIL 0215 TOMORROW. NEGLIGENCE TO THIS MIGHT CAUSE YOUR ORGANIC COMPONENTS TO BECOME INEFFICIENT.]
You shoo the alert away and check the holo-vid's length, and decide to go with it - there's less than twenty minutes of holo-media left for this episode.

Zirconius acquiesces to the request, but orders Chester-Beta42 to keep an eye on Collins' activity. Collins then takes her two newfound companions on a trip to the Ground Sector, which is where most of Spaceport's crew has their quarters and suites. On the way there, Collins is looking out for White Towers, a community for poorer and jobless station citizens, but only finds a large hydroponics park in its place. Chester-Beta42 inquires on the station network and finds out that Centauri Republicans have bought the White Towers, had them vacated and demolished and funded the park to 'provide green space for crew and administration' of the station. He has no information on the two thousand people who lived in White Towers, but Yarna has some dark thoughts. Meanwhile, unnoticed by the trio, a pair of security guards are keeping an eye on them from safe distance.
They finally arrive at their destination, Shaded Quarters 34-F3. She meets with her uncle, Humbert Collins, who was once Vice Chief of Internal Affairs on Poseidonis, and has taken upon investigative work as part-time private detective, part-time journalist on the net. They have a quick discussion about Centauri Republicans, criminal activity and corruption in the Federation, and that there are all indications that the incoming elections might be in danger. Before Humbert can explain more, the main door is opened and a black orb is thrown inside the quarters. Chester-Beta42 only has time to pull the others down as the pulse grenade explodes.Thus ends Chapter 10.
You let out a loud yawn, stretch, and pace to the bar to take the music, lights, and the replicator consoles offline for the night.
Then you enter the Sleep Pod, get 'comfortable' and tap away at the console to set it for six hours cycle.

The sleep pod wakes you up and you leave. Finally, some good, uninterrupted sleep. You stretch and yawn, and go plug yourself to the food dispenser, paying little attention to the slurpy noises the tube attached to your body makes.
You finish up turning on the lights, preparing the synthol replicators and setting up the music.
You do not get time to ponder what to do next when you hear the familiar beep of the security console.
Some ship is en route to your Outpost!
A) Let us go and hail them!
B) It's too early for customers!
