What brought you here:
the crew (without Korvas) found a "derelict" ship (owned by Cyber Gen ) and "liberated" medical supplies that were expired. Changed the dates to make sure they'd get payed for them. People died as a result of the expired medicine.
Korvus is sent to join the crew and fix this PR nightmare for the corporation. (Seraph Industries )
