Died. Do not recommend it. Time for a new plan! Step 1: Don't die again. Nailing it. Step 2: Escape my mother's ship by beating up my friend and mentor, Larry. Progress is glacial. Not nailing it. Step 3: Hoard a mountain of credits and buy all the essentials: spaceships, power armor and mouthwatering food. Just gotta beat up Larry first. Step 4: Psionic super powers and galactic domination. I'm trying! Larry's tough! It's a brilliant plan. Unfortunately, brilliant plans don't stop the galaxy from throwing an endless stream of delays, complications and the occasional horrific experiences. On the upside, there's no shortage of loot.
