 ===== Background =====
-Sagan Belmont was born aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] in Bay 07. From early childhood he struggled with a severe reading and writing disability. Although the Last Frontier possessed highly advanced medical and educational technologies, neither was able to overcome his condition. Among teachers and technicians a saying slowly emerged: "The boy can understand anything but he can't read it."

-Because literacy remained a prerequisite for nearly every profession aboard the ship—from engineering to security service—Sagan never qualified for higher education at [[last_frontier_university|Last Frontier University]]. Instead he received official disability status and spent much of his youth performing supervised maintenance work.

 Everything changed on [[day_zero|Day Zero]]. The crash of the Last Frontier transformed practical craftsmanship from an overlooked skill into one of the colony's most valuable assets. With robots destroyed and automation largely gone, settlers suddenly needed people who could fell trees, repair machinery and build infrastructure by hand.

 In early 2627 Sagan founded "Belmont Timber & Haulage", a small logging and transport company operating one [[manual_labor_bots|Manual Labor Bot]], two freight wagons, several [[hoos|Hoos]] and two employees. His reputation quickly grew. Throughout Morningstar he became known as a dependable contractor whose word could be trusted.
-For the first time in his life, Sagan felt that he truly belonged. That changed when the mysterious entrepreneur known only as [[j_w|J.W.]] approached him with what appeared to be the largest timber contract Morningstar had ever seen. Belmont Timber & Haulage supplied enormous quantities of hardwood for the construction of J.W.'s isolated forest compound. Sagan invested nearly everything he owned into fulfilling the contract, hiring additional workers and expanding his operations.

Belmont Timber & Haulage supplied enormous quantities of hardwood for the construction of J.W.'s isolated forest compound. Sagan invested nearly everything he owned into fulfilling the contract, hiring additional workers and expanding his operations.
 When the final shipment had been delivered, J.W. refused payment. Communicating exclusively through handwritten notes delivered by intermediaries, he claimed the timber failed to meet contractual specifications and demanded substantial price reductions. Sagan refused.
