At the gravesite of Claus and Lavie’s parents, Claus pays his respects before heading off to the Dragon’s Fangs with Alvis.
Inside the grand stream, the Anatoray and Disith forces are combating guild forces.
Exile continues to drag under Guild warships with its tentacles. As the alliance forces approach Exile their ships come under assault from Exile as well. Mad-Thane orders his forces back.
Mad-Thanes ship is about to be destroyed but Vincent positions his and another Urbanus alongside and destroys the tentacles. However, the other Urbanus-Class is destroyed.
Delphine’s ship begins to glow pink and Exile entangles it with tentacles to protect it. Delphine tells Alex she didn’t need all four mysteria after all. (I don’t think that is the case. I think Exile still thinks Alvis is aboard her ship and doesn’t want to harm her.)
Claus and Alvis continue to make their way to the Dragon’s Fangs, with Alvis navigating off of Lavie’s notes.
Delphine tells her subordinates that she is happy with how Exile is acting and says she no longer needs Alvis.
Claus and Alvis arrive at the Dragon’s Fangs and dock at a fueling depot. Ethan is waiting for Claus and tells him and Alvis to switch to a vanship where Alister is waiting for the two. Ethan tells Claus that Sophia arranged for fresh vanships until he and Alvis reach the Silvana.
In Disith’s old home land a weird empty cocoon appears and begins to fire a beam at Exile. Exile begins to move to the empty cocoon.
Claus, Alvis, and Alister arrive at the second relay point and Tatiana is waiting for Claus and Alvis. Alvis asks Alister if Tatiana is still a ***** and Alister says no and that Tatiana doesn’t have much experience being a navigator so Alvis will have to help. Before they take off, Gustavi tells Claus that Lavie and his vanship are waiting for them at the next stop.
Tatiana notices something approaching and it turns out to be two guild starships that came to assassinate Alvis. Tatiana tells Claus they only have 200 rounds and he begins to evade their attacks. He opens fire wasting about 60% of his ammo.
At the relay point Lavie is worried because Claus and co. are late. Gale spots Claus and co. and tells Lavie and Godwin that they’re under attack.
Claus tells Tatiana to drop the spare gas tanks and she does so. Claus pulls his ship upwards, and then allows it to drop down. He opens fire on the gas tanks and they explode, taking out one of the two ships. At the relay station, Walker opens fire with turrets and destroys the second. (The relay station is Walker’s casino/port)
Claus, Alvis, and Tatiana land and Claus is happy to be reunited with Lavie. Claus tells it’s time to make good on their promise to cross the grand stream together and they take off with Alvis. Lavie gives Claus a mission that contains the final mysterian that is required for Exile.
Behind them trails another vanship… Claus, Lavie, and Alvis enter the grand stream and are suddenly knocked to the side by the trailing vanship. Dio appears in a white vanship and says, “Hey, fancy meeting you here.” |
