Purgatory, 2: Leap of FaithT - 7h 30min. Operation Shadowhand log, ground forces commander Ina Muir, AXDF. Was that formal enough? Received the signal to start. Equipment is triple-checked, health inspections are green across the board, dropship engines are warming up, the squad...

Stars in The Storm, 4: Valiant SoulsWe were okay, more or less. A few ships that I was concerned about, yet mostly in a good fighting shape. Rescue transports were at about two thirds of their capacity. My thoughts were mostly about the Titan's alerted state, space around it might've been...
