'''Black Hole Sun''' is a multi-part [[Contract#Story Contract|Story Contract]] arc that explores themes of ambition, risk, and scientific ethics through the story of [[Dr. Julian Martinez]], his brother [[Marcus Martinez]], and their work with the enigmatic [[Stargate Project LLC]]. The arc leads directly into the events of [[The Trouble with Tiddlets]] and introduces key characters, technologies, and dilemmas that shape the storyline.

== Part 2 ==

* The player ~~assists in extracting~~ Dr. Martinez~~'s missing brother~~, ~~Marcus~~.

Some time after completing the first part, Dr. Julian Martinez contacts the player again to announce that the modified FTL drive is ready. The player is asked to return to his system to begin the next phase.

* ~~Growing concerns about experimental exposure~~ and ~~long-term health effects~~.

* Introduction of ~~complex dialogue trees~~ and ~~decision branches~~.

Upon arrival, Dr. Martinez explains the plan. The new FTL drive allows for extremely short-distance jumps — just enough to dip into the black hole’s vicinity and extract Marcus. Two jumps will be required: one inward, and one outward.

Before proceeding, Dr. Martinez needs assistance crafting a special type of [[FTL Charge]]. When the contract is accepted, he explains the requirement:

* 60 [[Tilium Crystals]]

A short explanation follows on how to acquire these crystals. The player can either mine [[Tilium Ore]] and refine it into crystals, or simply purchase the crystals outright.

If the player already has 60 or more Tilium Crystals on board at the moment of accepting the mission, the contract completes immediately — even if the crystals are located on another ship in a different system. However, if there are fewer than 60 crystals available locally, the mission will not proceed until the required amount is present in the system.

Once 60 Tilium Crystals have been delivered, Part 2 is completed and the player receives a reward of $300,000.
