Re: Operation WRAITH
Gerald listened to Hawthorne and Aleister Crowley discussing options. Even through the binoculars, he had to squint to barely make out the diminishing speck of Dragonhawk in the distance. "Captain Hawthorne is quite correct that we may be able to dig up some local gossip if we head for the Reac...

In the type of questioning he was used to, it was generally assumed the interviewee was lying or withholding information. When they set him loose on the armory, he thought bac...

Re: Operation HARE
Gerald stood in awe, disbelieving that he had actually managed to hit the Guild ship with his hasty snapfire shot.
