Cassius Station: Heist

Cassius Station: a sprawling space city orbiting Tau Ceti. 
A place where everything is for sale and everyone has their price.

I'm Deck Leonid, a private investigator. 
I find people and things, and run odd-jobs for various big-shots on the station.
I keep my deals and try not to hurt people more than necessary. I maintain my reputation and make a decent living. 

But I've stumbled into something big, and rival gangs all want me dead. If only I knew what I uncovered.

Now I'm facing killer cyborgs, femme fatales, rogue AIs, and the most dangerous and mysterious crimelord in the system, known only as The Earthling.

I don't know who I can trust. Probably no one. 

But I've always had a soft spot for a pretty face. Once that weakness got my nose broke; this time it may get me killed.
