A distress call from fleeing refugees puts the heroes on a crash course with the next step in the Dread Pirates, and Almon D'Joy's, plans to unlock an ancient terror!

Rico blames me for the former-ATST silicone based people who are going away to a new life full of Aw'akeen insight.

 
Heh.

 

 
Refugees trickle in from around the continent. So do reinforcements from sources such as Clan Bareesh.

Meanwhile, our rescued Outlaw Tech folks from the prior job are quick to confirm that d'Joy has been telecommuting tech ideas (for pay!) to the enemy side.

 
Oh, and now Hicks is the (temporary) (supposedly!) Fleet Admiral for Freedworlds Republic. He ever calls me by rank again, I'm gonna call him "Admiral".

 
We spent the past two weeks mostly quiet, getting regular work done. Now suddenly we have a bunch of refugees showing up from the southern coast. Port Nevermore is devastated. Port Nevermore is ruined! People are scrambling away from PN any way they can get out.

Chancellor Kanter orders General Kerplocken to "deploy the forces. Now!"

 
We are off to go rescue Jarrod Quantas. He has got unarmed civilians that he and some of the other Ragnar Syndicate are escorting.

Additional Ragnar curreintly trying to keep these civvies alive while being repeatedly attacked:

  • Felnar Jax

  • Mick Rory

 
"it's like buzzbots"

"Holding out as best we can. We've had to crash land in the desert. We are doing point guard. We are outnumbered -- it's got to be at least 15 to one. We are not able to receive communication."


- Captain Quantas' latest broadcast on Emergency Channel


 

 
Hunh.

The cyclopic attack droids have layered shields. They rotate in a fresh one when another takes damage. Kind of like capital ships.

 

 
The droids are using complex team tactics. They compensate for one another. They coordinate.

 
They absolutely have a spotter somewhere, at a slight distance, overseeing the entire fight.

 
I would like to talk to them.

 

 
Oh, I say!


- Dr. Zack Stavin

 
Oh Crom, he's back!

Wait. Now So'Zen is a Ghostie al Saba standing to one side of his own body?

Not okay!
