A wreck in space means one thing to Carl Ramsey: opportunity. With the escape pods gone and a distress beacon still flashing, all he has to do is clear out the pirates and claim the salvage. Easy money—at least in theory.
In practice, Carl’s crew is a chaotic mess. His ex-wife pilots the ship, their mechanic is usually drunk, the bodyguard is terrifying, and the resident wizard was kicked out of the Convocation. On a good day, they might function like a proper crew. On most days, Carl just hopes they do not kill each other before payday.
Fuel is expensive, jobs are dangerous, and the surprises are never good. Welcome to the Black Ocean, where survival takes guts, luck, and the occasional miracle.
