Lars shook his head. The day was too warm for his ice to last for any length of time. They would be stuck on this side for now, it seemed. He moved to the end of the bridge, searching the ground and surrounding area for signs of the workers: tools, equipment, plans, cooking, or anything else...
"Are we to repair the bridge before crossing to Pirilai? Or is there an alternate way across so that we may speak with the residents first?" Lars wondered aloud. "As there is evidence of repairs being done, I would love to speak with the residents beforehand to see what is preventing them from...
Lars quickly gathered his things and glanced at Theophania, only half-listening, "Yes, yes, but now I have more questions than answers!"
Hearing everyone speaking around him, he rolled his eyes at many of their remarks and misunderstandings. When he heard Shaista and Krirrk speak, he was...
Lars shook his head and spoke loudly so all could hear him, for he had heard enough. He looked directly at Theophania, to address her speech from before specifically, "You all say this is a good plan? To split up would be certain failure. You say we have numbers, but the Gothra will outnumber us...
Lars spoke up, since the Shaista's words were soft-spoken, "I agree with our simple-worded friend. I believe we should move to the location of the bridge first. Once it is repaired and operational again, we move to speak with the Gothra. Perhaps we can apply some diplomatic skills not available...
"How far is this bridge from Ravalai, Lionel?" Lars spoke with interest. "And where are you seeing these raids occur most frequently? I am most interested to see this place the shipments are most likely to encounter the Gothra."

Lars' stomach rumbled and he wondered absently if this town knew about the proper etiquette of an invitation. A host should always feed their visitors. To not be thinking of the visitor and providing basic necessities such as rest and food after a long journey showed a lot of the mayor's...
Lars dropped silently from the last bit of rope leading up to the crows' nest. He was exhausted from his long journey to get to the boat on time in the first place and had only spoken with the sailors stationed to watch up at the top when they came to and fro. Most of the rest of the journey, he...

...the pirate's cannons. Realizing what their plan might be, Choon-Hee lay in wait for when they would need a getaway driver as their work completed.

Dr. Gideon Corvus was in a similar position as the man in the ransomware video, reclining in his chair and relaxing. Even dozing...
...Better to be useful in other ways and not be a hindrance to the crew as they warded off the pirate invaders. Besides, it just wasn't his style.

While Gideon was relaxing in his room, Su Choon-Hee was feeling quite the opposite. Trying to dodge the myriad of explosions, pirate...
As soon as the light from the first explosion came into Su Choon-Hee's vision, she quickly grabbed the controls away from auto-pilot. The chain reaction of violent forces rocked the ship as she desperately steered to the right and away from the debris of the destroyed Peregrine Talon. Her helmet...
Su Choon-Hee quickly tapped a few keys to send a reply back to the Condor. A response came back immediately to stay put in formation at the ready while the rest of the fleet reported their statuses as well.
Another soft beep sounded to alert Choon-Hee of a message from the Condor, but this time...
As Su Choon-Hee directed the Blackbird's Cry past the outer moon of Yal Yuan, she saw a view which stole her breath away. The AESS Condor unapologetically loomed before them. The flagship was massive and its architectural design only enhanced the overwhelming presence of power and ingenuity. The...
Choon-Hee was ecstatic but tried desperately to control her emotions and fly straight without any fancy maneuvers. The Blackbird's Cry responded gracefully to the slightest touch. The controls were buttery smooth and calibrated to pinpoint precision. She had complete confidence in the ship's...
Gideon moved down the hallway, light and silent as a feather. He passed by his crewmates with a courteous nod and floated along towards his office. It was somewhat small and out of the way in the Medical Wing of the ship.
The room's design was inviting to those entering inside, and Gideon...
As soon as the ramp hit the ground, a large raven-man was waving for people to enter. Su Choon-Hee didn't need the extra encouragement, the open door was invitation enough. She was the first to enter the ship and immediately headed for the bow where the piloting controls would be.
Luckily, her...
