This random event occurs when you are out of Fuel with your distress beacon ON.



A poorly armed Slug ship cruises by and offers assistance. Their captain seems to be chuckling to himself, perhaps at the prices he's charging.

  1. Pay 15 scrap for 5 fuel.  [ Scrap lost:15 ]
    • You doubt he is trustworthy but have no choice but to make the deal. However you complete the exchange without event.
      • You receive Fuel gained:5.
    • You doubt he is trustworthy but have no choice but to make the deal. However you complete the exchange without event.
      • You receive Fuel gained:5.
        • Continue...
          • Everything looks secure but suddenly a number of supplies disappear ! He must have planted a portable teleporter into your cargo bay somehow. Before you can react the ship is long gone.
            • You lose Missiles lost:2-4 and Scrap lost:20-35.
  2. Ignore the offer.
    • You know better than to do business with a Slugman who seems like he knows something you don't. He jumps off with another chuckle.
      • Nothing happens.
  3. (Slug Crew) Have your Slug make the purchase.
    • As soon as he sees your crewmember the Slug stops his incessant chuckling. The exchange appears to go smoothly although you wonder what mental battles are telepathically occurring between the two Slugs.
      • You receive Fuel gained:5 and lose Scrap lost:15.
