+First, acquire Endless Sky (this is left as an exercise for the reader). The plugin is designed for 0.10.15 (that's the current "continuous build" version at time of writing), but should be okay at least as far back as 0.10.5.
 
 Acquire the plugin (click on the "Code" button above and either clone the repo or download the zip). Then, install the plugin (see [this page from the ES wiki](https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/wiki/CreatingPlugins) for information). Finally, play Endless Sky with the plugin.

   - Deep Sky is working on secretive things, per their usual. They're located in the Deep, in the western part of the galaxy, and their quest line starts with a somewhat secretive job board posting.

 Also: if you start a company quest, and then fail or abort it, these products will still show up. It's just going to take much longer since you weren't able to help them out.

-Help Kraz Cybernetics, Deep Sky, and Syndicate Systems produce their artificial crew offerings.
-
-Maybe you're more comfortable in the company of robots than people. Maybe you just like the idea of being a solo captain. Or maybe you just don't like writing paychecks. Whatever your reasons, you want some artificial crew members, and the mission lines to enable them. This plugin delivers.
