Revision as of 01:22, 8 May 2008
Reality flooded back; he wasn’t going to get revenge. Not against them. Not if half the rumours he had heard in spacer bars were true. There was no hope in hell for him. They had unlimited resources, and he was just one man.
He was fucked.
"I’m going to cut to the chase," said Frantic. "Our organisation wants to take INRA out."

Description
After escaping from the battle of rocky fields, the battered Azure Sunset must find refuge and repairs, while her fragmented crew must come to terms with what they lost, and what lays ahead.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Mack Winston is on a collision course with his past.
Story so far (SPOILERS)
Opening
The Azure Sunset has limped to a drydock run by Frantic's secret organisation. Frantic indicates he wants to destroy INRA once and for all. But to do that, he needs an operational HPA.
de Havilland, Veruz and Emu set off for civilised space to find replacement parts, while Norman and Sam go looking for a replacement ship, as damage to the Sunset from its last battle was terminal.
The Next Move
The crew splits up, each with specific tasks:
Norman Mosser and Sam Kemper head for the New Rossyth Shipyards to bid for the decommisioned AJN Ajax and Repulse which are on sale. On the way, they have to make a few stops to cement their fake ID's.
de Havilland and Veruz take Emu back to her home in Beta Hydri before heading back to the now infamous Williamson Base for new parts for the damaged Huge Plasma Accelerator.
The rest of Norman's crew stay behind to repair the ship, but are they with friend or foe?
