Dumping their original cargo of Botany Bay Industrial Sand, the crew loaded up on as much [[Lostech]] as could be carried and agreed to split the salvage amongst themselves. For his portion, Lewis claimed more than 2,000 [[Omni 25]] [[fusion engine]]s, purported to be the most efficient ever made. Rather than sell them off and retire rich, Lewis decided to hold on to the tiny engines. With news that the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] was looking to procure a new combat vehicle for reconnaissance work, Samuel Lewis incorporated himself and spent the next few years perfecting a new scout hovercraft for the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]].
