Welcome back, buccaneers of the Belt, to the thirty-ninth installment of Mecha Space Pirate Quest. As always, I'm Wong, and you are Admiral Roarke Susan Starwind of the Iron Kestrels, a force you are about to discover has grown somewhat larger from your deeds of heroic brigandry. You're still the pilot of the Knuckle Kaiser, codenamed Black Ogre by the UJCIDF and Martian Holy Militia.

Last time, there were some big revelations. You believe you understand why Rashad didn't haggle with you, now that Fatima's father has 'mysteriously' tumbled off a balcony and made the Commodore the de-facto biggest landowner on Mars. At least you have plenty of training to do, to vent your pent-up aggression, and a pair of taser-knuckled nanofiber gauntlets to pummel Rashad's face with the next time you see him. Which will be soon, because your first instinct continued to be 'crash his wedding while riding on the Tarrasque and carry Fatima off again'.

Normal people would confine these thoughts to fantasy, do things like 'consider the odds' and 'practicing acceptance", and move on. You are not a normal person, however. You are a space pirate.
