Background

Welles wakes the Stranger from cryostasis aboard the Hope with a mixture of his own making; the other colonists stay frozen, because waking them now would probably kill them through explosive cell death. With Welles' ship damaged, the Stranger is sent down to Terra 2 to meet the smuggler Alex Hawthorne, but the escape pod lands on Hawthorne and kills him. The Stranger has to find Hawthorne's ship, the Unreliable, and get it flying again, which brings them into Edgewater and its troubles. The next main quest is Passage to Anywhere.
