One of our contributors wearing many hats, Chris Airiau, will be running a one-shot version of his mission from Devil’s Due, “Iron Hearth Harvest” on the Weekly Scroll this Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1pm EST on Twitch!

The Iron Hearth is a TYKA corporate town. The space station specializes in R&D and manufacturing with a population of around 1,000 workers under constant mercenary guard. Wealth pours into the Iron Hearth, and rumor says TYKA researchers are building autonomous Class-0 Utility Drones to replace the Teamster EVA workforce. 

Information brokers sold the crew an intercepted and decrypted message exchange from the mercenary company Sons of Apollo. In one week, their Corvette Lansquenets will arrive 24–48 hours late to dock at Iron Hearth, but the vessel they’re relieving, the Reisläufer mercenary Corvette, is still ordered to leave the station on its normal patrol. This is the crew’s small window of opportunity to harvest the unguarded Iron Hearth.
