    Chapter 2

  2. I mean the Texas is a flying battlewagon what could possibly go wrong?
  3. 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)
  4. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREN!
  5. 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

    Prologue

    in 1950, in the shadow of war, betrayal was... the norm
  7. 03:00 – Staging Point, Abandoned Apartment Complex The men assembling in the ruined, third-floor apartment were not the screaming, chaotic amateurs that had swarmed the United States Embassy. They did not fire their weapons into the night sky to bolster their courage, and they did not drive brightly painted Toyota pickups. They were a hardened, disciplined, and profoundly lethal terrorist cell, veterans of urban insurgencies and shadow wars that spanned from the Levant to the Maghreb
  8. You're probably right, but Tweek got his man so he's happy. Idiots the pair of them
  9. The transition from the sterile, hyper-illuminated, aggressively lens-flared reality of the upgraded Zodiac to the waking world of the planetary surface was not smooth. It felt like being hit in the prefrontal cortex with a velvet-wrapped brick. Captain Daniel Hollis opened his eyes and instantly regretted it. The light filtering into the room was not the harsh, pulsing halogen of a failing starship, nor was it the sterile, unforgiving white glare of their new billion-credit command deck.
  10. From the actual events of the fall of Libya, Italy had a lot of agents and assets in place and led much of the covert ground action. Sabotaging tanks, fighter planes and air defenses that were being used to attack civilians. Their actions were heroic at a time when many other nations refused to directly act. They stopped the T-70's that were about to roll through the city streets and crush the opposition to the Regime
  11. Oh Poitr is going to get his own back, oh indeed. Teleport away and ditch him in a car on the Freeway, and then show up in that hat? Yep Poitr's going to ensure Flynn suffers for this.
  12. Dufresne is the kind of sleaze that would gladly lock onto this to try to topple the government. It is an inherent weakness of the parliamentary system of no-confidence that it can be weaponized in this fashion. Dufresene doesn't give a damn about Will's safety, nor the integrity of Canadian operations. All he cares about is the Prime Minister's Office.
  13. good morning
  14. 02:15 – The Vault, United States Embassy Sub-Level The heavy steel bank-vault door of the CIA armory hung at a sickening, unnatural angle, its massive reinforced hinges glowing a brilliant, angry cherry-red where the concentrated thermite charges had ruthlessly burned through the tempered steel. The acrid, suffocating smell of the incendiary compound lingered heavily in the subterranean air, mixing with the sharp, metallic tang of ozone, pulverized concrete, and the distant, muffled cadenc
  15. Flynn's fashion crimes are probably why the FBMI are after him
  16. Poitr is not going to be pleased with the hat.
  17. The House Always Wins
  18. The kitchen of The Awakening diner was a disaster zone. Flynn burst through the swinging doors with his shoulder, nearly slipping on a patch of grease that had been decades in the making. The air was thick with the smell of frying bacon, stale coffee, and something that might have been despair. A dishwasher the size of a refrigerator looked up from his steel basin, his eyes widening at the sight of the barefoot man in the straw hat who had just come flying out of the dining area. "Ba
  19. Thank you Peter is a fan favourite, he's petty, selfish, loyal, and kind in equal measures.
  20. Doc makes VATS of anteacid in his spare time...
