  1. She took on a Weatherman in a Storm.
  2. The cold, unforgiving durasteel of the brig floor offered absolutely no comfort to Captain Karen Hollis as consciousness slammed back into her brain. For a fraction of a second, her mind swam in the disorienting, sterile hum of the detention center’s ambient energy fields. She expected to be in her quarters, or perhaps reviewing casualty reports in her ready room. But as the sharp, metallic tang of the brig registered in her nostrils, the humiliating reality of the last ten minutes crashed
  3. Those poor women... the things that happened to them during the Regime, and the horrific end after it's fall... I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
  4. This was also where the T-70's were stored that were about to be unleashed on the city. It was a lethal and dangerous place.
  5. Peter is everything a homophobic, homicidal dictator would expect, and underestimate.
  6. 05:00 – The Commercial District, Tripoli The interior of the heavily armored SUV smelled overwhelmingly of oxidized gun oil, cheap, pungent tobacco, and the rapidly cooling blood that was drying to a sticky, morbid crust against the side of Will Carter’s face. Will was pitched violently sideways across the expansive leather back seat, his shoulder screaming in protest as his hands remained tightly bound behind his back with thick, industrial-grade plastic zip-ties. He was entirely bl
  7. The cargo bay of the Zodiac was a stark, shadowy contrast to the hyper-sanitized, pristine white polycarbonate bulkheads that currently infected the upper decks of the upgraded starship. Down here, amidst the heavy loading lifters and neatly stacked crates of stolen Imperial Kareshi rations, the shadows still clung stubbornly to the corners, offering a brief, merciful respite from the relentless, cinematic blue lens flares of the command deck. It was a space that still felt like a working ship,
  8. Will is decidedly not pleased with his new found role as squeak toy of choice for Libyan psychopaths.
  9. Morning
  10. 04:00 – The Safehouse, Industrial District, Tripoli The piece of paper resting on the scarred wooden table was cheap, low-grade printer stock, still faintly warm from the industrial photocopier that had birthed it, but it currently represented the most dangerous munition in the Libyan capital. Capitano Enzo Mancini stared down at the high-resolution diplomatic portrait of the Canadian Special Envoy. The Arabic text was bold, crude, and unambiguous. Five Hundred Thousand American Doll

  13. I mean the Texas is a flying battlewagon what could possibly go wrong?
  14. Tweek is not allowing Karen to take his Captain. He's going to show why California trumps Texas (Tweek having been established in previous chapters as being from San Diego)
  15. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREN!
  16. The Zodiac was currently gliding through the vast, uncaring void of Sector 7G, its hull gleaming with a pristine, hyper-sanitized perfection that had long since become a psychological burden for its crew. The ship was not falling apart. It was not groaning under the weight of its own failing systems. It was, in fact, functioning flawlessly—and that was precisely the problem. The sleek, frictionless black linoleum floors of the bridge reflected the relentless, cinematic blue lens flares tha
