Rescue continues

I couldn't help but feel a tinge of excitement as I loaded the refugees aboard my copper-painted Federal Corvette. Sure, I was saving lives, but I also knew that the rewards for rescuing more people were materials that I could use to upgrade my ship.I had outfitted my Corvette with the best weapons and defenses available, but there were always ways to improve. And with the Thargoid invasion raging on, I knew that I needed to be prepared for anything.
As I flew from one refugee camp to the next, I made sure to take as many people aboard as possible. The more refugees I rescued, the more rewards I would receive. It was a win-win situation.
But it wasn't just about the rewards. I knew that I was making a difference in the lives of these stranded people. They had no chance against the Thargoids, but with my help, they had a fighting chance.
And so I continued on, dodging enemy fire and delivering refugees to the safety of the rescue ships. It was a dangerous and difficult mission, but I was determined to come out on top.
When the Thargoid invasion was finally repelled, I had saved thousands of lives and collected a bounty of materials for my ship upgrades. It was a successful mission, both in terms of profit and humanitarian aid.
But as I looked back on my actions, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. Had I been too focused on the rewards? Had I forgotten the real reason I was out there in the first place?
I knew that I needed to change my approach. Yes, the rewards were important, but so was the human element. These were people's lives at stake, and I couldn't let my greed cloud my judgment.
And so I set out once again, determined to rescue as many refugees as possible, not just for the rewards, but for the sake of humanity.
