The lights came on and the voice of the AI announced, "Welcome, stranger."
Li Ming peered inside, hesitated before entering, took a few photos around the spacecraft, and then sent them to the Black Hole Network for an appraisal.
It was then that he noticed, a few hours earlier, Uncle Lame had sent him a message.
"Kid, I've stolen the item. Silver Grey City is conducting a city-wide manhunt, but the guards were dispatched elsewhere, so they're short-handed. Where can I find you now?"
Good! Li Ming took a deep breath and quickly replied, "I'll send you a location. Come find me here and remember to bring the item."
Uncle Lame replied with an 'ok' emoji, clearly waiting for Li Ming's message.
With a weight lifted off his chest, Li Ming finally began to explore the spacecraft, only to find that aside from the public areas, he was locked out of all other ship cabins.
