Scenarios like this are a major reason this story is just so damn good. It’s well thought out and makes your writing a joy to read. Looking forward to more!

In the words of Kelsier from Mistborn... There's always another secret. Thanks for reading! <3

The cliffs will continue until morale improves! Well... morale is already good, but the cliffs must continue anyway! Thanks for reading! <3

It's very sus, isn't it? Serena's going to have to think carefully about what to do. Wonder how Menes might react when he finds out one of the most powerful people in the Known World is on the same ship as him, and is also a woman... Thanks for reading <3

Keene

Fuel concerns should be addressed next chappie I believe! Thanks for reading <3

I wonder if Menes is going to go down similar to Polina - i.e., some people liked her, some people hated her... Guess time will tell ^>^ Thanks for reading <3

The fort creates a situation where it might work to put Amelia and the new squad on the other ship so Amelia can cut loose without aggravating the Vengeance.

Puppy Piranha Forever

Oh very nicely done and his story is so outlandish I find myself wanting to believe it. Not surprised that the fort might be taken with how drunk everyone was. Or perhaps the pirates added something extra to the drinks 🍹 🤔

Thanks for the chapter. It puts the actions of the fortress crew in a new light, though didn’t they get supplies there? It will be interesting to see what the truth is. I suspect a little of column A and a little of column B.

Dun dun DUNNNN!! Thanks for the wonderful chapter and semi cliff hanger.

An awful convoluted and overly complicated story. The kind scammers tell, for every doubt or question a detail rich and long winded explanation. The facts are clear, they shot first and are on a imperial ship without permission. Just hang them and be done with it - even if they were at the wrong place at the wrong time, misfired the guns, mistyped the communications the risk to keep them on board and alive outweigh the benefits of keeping them alive. Besides that, his oily, smarmy, misogynistic way of behaving rubs me the wrong way. So off with his head. 😜😎👍

An interesting claim at the end. If true it’s all the more reason for Serena to head there and reclaim the fort. But how was he planning to get the Indy to sail for two weeks when they only have two lighter ships to share fuel with it and it’s completely out? Might be fun for Serena and Amelia to get to show off against their first darkblade opponent!

All I wanna see is the Amelia nuke go off in battle, all I ask for

GOSH DARN CLIFFHANGERS Gosh I can't wait for Menes to meet Speaker Thornheart

How dare you make me hate Menes in one chapter and then like him in the next ? Stop playing with my emotions! Menes's story is sounding a lot more plausible if you consider that the fortress is under the pirate guy's control. IIRC The fort had a number of imperial vessels docked there, and if those are also compromised, they could have intercepted the Indy with them and come up with an excuse to dock with her. The Indy being none the wiser would be then blindsided by a sudden attack.
