The crime lord could approach the party to find the archaeologist and the stolen loot ("I've got a . . . job for you all, and your unique talents should make it easy"). Or perhaps the rumor of the massive wealth of the find gets passed around on the galactic network and the PCs go after it themselves, or maybe a government official sends the party after the stolen goods to recover them as "priceless cultural treasures." In the latter two scenarios, the party also gets the complication of having to avoid getting killed by the crime lord looking for money and revenge from whoever has the artifacts.</blockquote>
