Well, that's it. The Alliance didn't like me poking around their dirty laundry, and they sent the frighteners around to Estelle's place. It seems a little too little, too late if you ask me, what with the news coming out of Adhara - but governments have to have their secrets, or at least the pretense of having them. The Alliance doesn't know who I am, and I thought that'd be enough to keep them from trying to bully me into submission. I didn't count on them going after my friends.

So there you have it. No grand reveal about our missing senators, just an incompetent superweapon designed by a government that likes to point guns at journalists. You win, Admiral Whoever. I wonder how long you'll have to enjoy it.
