My latest idea for ripping off much more talented people in order to make a Traveller adventure.
The group are free traders, trying to earn as much money as possible during the X frontier War or some other local war between systems.
Angelus Ies is a pirate/Zho agent/merc trying to locate a fellow pirate going by the name of William Carson, who took a Imperial/government/mega corp ship that held an armies pay roll in cash creds in order to collect the stolen money for himself.
Angelus runs into William Carson at a mash unit set up in a star port, Carson tells him the location of a graveyard outside of a small frontier town TypeE or D star port on a contested/interdicted border world where his stolen creds are buried.
As Angelus looks for a medic/medkit/water to keep Carson alive long enough to say more, Carson calls one of the party members over and tells him/her the name on the gravestone which marks the buried creds, and dies before he can say more.
Angelus soon figures out that they know, as does Carsons friends who happen to be members of the scouts/navy/pirates/zho and all involved want a share of the Creds, but only one of them will get it.
Final scene ends with all sides facing off in the grave yard.
