Dav's Hope - Hyades Sector DR-V C2-23:I'd heard the rumors of an abandoned settlement nearby. Ripe pickings and all that. Naturally, my scavenger interest piqued, I had to take a look. I should have learned my lesson from last time, and not read the logs, but I'm a scavenger and an explorer, you know? Well, turns out this isn't an abandoned settlement, it's a mass grave. 40 some souls I think (?), deemed an acceptable loss. The rescue teams were ready to go, but no, the corporate big wigs didn't want to "waste the credits", or whatever. So they blew the charges, collapsed the mine, grabbed everything they could and bugged out. If I were in charge of that settlement, and I pulled that trigger, I'd want to leave as quickly as possible too.
Scavenging is one thing, grave robbing is another. This feels wrong. Oh I'm still going to salvage everything I can, but now I'm going to feel bad about it, and that's damned inconvenient.
