“This is a horrible idea,” Xarl grumbled.

“And yet you’re still suiting up,” Iuno laughed.

The old man shook his head. “Someone has to keep an eye on your dumb ass.”

We were in the executive armory. Our suits had already been repaired after the infiltration of Valeur Mineure. Xarl had given me an earful about properly respecting my equipment.

The false, blue enamel had been removed from our suits...

Captain Fernandez’s voice came through the ship’s speakers. “Exiting sub-reality in ten minutes.”

Seated with Josefine in her greenhouse, I couldn’t wait till the jump ended. Shutters had come down over the glass hull above us, but I could still imagine the unnatural colors of sub-reality streaming just beyond the protective barriers. The air was supercharged with unnatural energy like the world could fly apart at a moment’s...

Entering the vast, circular room, I was nearly blinded until my HUD compensated. The crystal column housing Aggy’s consciousness was filled with bright, brilliant blue light. I could hear the three reactors in the adjacent holds churning at full power as the AI pulled on all her processing power.

“Aggy?” I called.

“She’s draining the ship’s power dry,” Elspeth complained as she slunk into the room from behind. “I�...

I felt uneasy in the days following our success on Valeur Mineure. We had retrieved the logbooks, discovered clues to Josefine’s missing crew, and destroyed an invaluable resource for the Republic. People were finally starting to hear the truth, to learn they were ruled by monsters and liars.

But I felt agitated. I wanted to act, to strike, but there was no clear path forward. We had to decipher our findings and carefully plo...

“Evacuate, evacuate!” the automated announcement repeated.

Valeur Mineure had descended into complete anarchy. The entire moon shook as the central reactor melted down, filling the lower layers of the facility with boiling plasma. The Yord were descending from the surface, harrying everyone toward the escape pods and shuttle bays.

“Whelp, there goes my last ship,” Elspeth moaned as the battle within the star syste...

The hole we’d blown through the bottom of the shaft led us to the infrastructure levels that wrapped around the hollowed-out heart of the moon. We were surrounded by huge, rusting pipes and aging power conduits.

Condensation dripped from every surface. A constant thrum ran through the catwalk we were standing on.

“The air down here is completely toxic,” Xarl warned us. “The more corrosive gases present might eat aw...

It took another hour to find the logbooks. It turned out Lot B was a huge collection of boxes, all culled from some mothballed station in the Tigre Calme System.

“It says here they were found sealed in a forgotten storage area,” Victor read a note tapped to the side of one of the boxes. “It’s believed to contain the personal journals of Admiral Becket Copper, who oversaw operations in the region from 01553 AA to 01572 AA...

The data slate was fed into the computer. The head tech took a seat in front of the console and began to carefully type. Green text flowed across the screen.

“Apologies, Corporal,” the tech said as we waited. “There are thousands of ongoing operations on Valeur Mineure. We are constantly sorting and cleansing documents and data, and new requests arrive by the hour. The Republic and the Martyred Goddess depend on our work 2024-01-15 15:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post

“Courier M87A, please transmit your security clearance.”

Xarl tapped on the courier ship’s command console.

“Security clearance transmitted,” he replied gruffly.

Victor, Iuno, and I stood stiffly behind him. Capturing the black op ship’s computer intact had given us access to their security codes. The codes had likely been revoked the moment the ships had failed to report in, but Aggy had used them as raw...

“Valeur Mineure,” Ramon said as the display showed a small, barren moon. “I have to say, I’ve infiltrated some tough places during my career, but this might be the biggest challenge yet.”

We were gathered back in the AI core three days later. Xarl and Victor had joined us, along with Captain Fernandez. If we were going to invade Republican space, I wanted their input.

Looking at the data streaming in my cyberneti...

“This better be good,” I said gruffly as we gathered in Aggy’s AI core.

Iuno was already there, while Josefine, Aggy, and Elspeth had followed me from the bridge. I had invited Xarl and Victor to join us, but the quartermaster was busy doing an inventory while the other ...

My schedule was packed. We were set to scuttle the Esprit de Liberté before the end of the day, sinking it in the Albrecht System’s star. I had several tasks I wanted to complete in the meantime.
