Far, far away, in a future unknown,
Through cosmic dust, where light hasn’t shown,
Drifting among stars, lost and astray—
With electrodes on your genitals. Welcome to the day.

You found yourself under a gun in a ship belonging to the bandits near a beacon, while they are waiting for the arrival of their boss. In the meanwhile, they torture you to get the password from the case you were supposed to deliver to an important person. You don't know the code, so you randomly spit a combination, which makes the case explode. The explosion kills your torturers, but leaves the ship functional, though damaged.

 1. Learn how to move
 2. Destroy the beacon.
 3. Throw away the corpses
 4. Pass through the gate
 5. Talk to the boss.
 6. Buy some mats
 7. Deliver to the base of choice and pass the quest.
 

After the tutorial the Gate explodes, and the open-world part starts.
