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...

Gerald stood in awe, disbelieving that he had actually managed to hit the Guild ship with his hasty snapfire shot. He was vaguely aware of a flurry of activity around him and felt the shuddering of the Ravener as her flight leveled out. He allowed himself to be escorted to a bunk by Aleister Crowley...
