[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 14

Chapter 14 – 01738.107 AA“This is a horrible idea,” Xarl grumbled.“And yet you’re still suiting up,” Iuno laughed.The old man shook his head. “Someone has to keep an eye on your dumb ass.”We were in the executive armory. Our suits had already been repaired after the infiltration of Valeur Mineure. Xarl had given me an earful about properly respecting my equipment.The false, blue enamel had been removed from our suits, restoring the gunmetal gray appearance we were more comfortable with. We had been forced to cast off our old col...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 13

Chapter 13 – 01738.107 AACaptain Fernandez’s voice came through the ship’s speakers. “Exiting sub-reality in ten minutes.”Seated with Josefine in her greenhouse, I couldn’t wait till the jump ended. Shutters had come down over the glass hull above us, but I could still imagine the unnatural colors of sub-reality streaming just beyond the protective barriers. The air was supercharged with unnatural energy like the world could fly apart at a moment’s notice.Zoto whined, his pleading cry carried by the rest of the horde.“Shhhh,” ...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 12

Chapter 12 – 01738.106 AAEntering the vast, circular room, I was nearly blinded until my HUD compensated. The crystal column housing Aggy’s consciousness was filled with bright, brilliant blue light. I could hear the three reactors in the adjacent holds churning at full power as the AI pulled on all her processing power.“Aggy?” I called.“She’s draining the ship’s power dry,” Elspeth complained as she slunk into the room from behind. “I’ve been forced to reroute power and even blackout sections of the ship.”Once, Aggy had b...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 11

Chapter 11 – 01738.106 AAI felt uneasy in the days following our success on Valeur Mineure. We had retrieved the logbooks, discovered clues to Josefine’s missing crew, and destroyed an invaluable resource for the Republic. People were finally starting to hear the truth, to learn they were ruled by monsters and liars.But I felt agitated. I wanted to act, to strike, but there was no clear path forward. We had to decipher our findings and carefully plot our next steps.All I wanted to do was burn the galaxy down, to purge the lies and the madne...

Renegade Ravager: Devastation -- Coming Jan 29th!

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – 01738.101 AA“Evacuate, evacuate!” the automated announcement repeated.Valeur Mineure had descended into complete anarchy. The entire moon shook as the central reactor melted down, filling the lower layers of the facility with boiling plasma. The Yord were descending from the surface, harrying everyone toward the escape pods and shuttle bays.“Whelp, there goes my last ship,” Elspeth moaned as the battle within the star system finally died down. “Rest in peace, you magnificent bastards.”The Valeur system was full of cri...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – 01738.101 AAThe hole we’d blown through the bottom of the shaft led us to the infrastructure levels that wrapped around the hollowed-out heart of the moon. We were surrounded by huge, rusting pipes and aging power conduits.Condensation dripped from every surface. A constant thrum ran through the catwalk we were standing on.“The air down here is completely toxic,” Xarl warned us. “The more corrosive gases present might eat away at our armor if we give them enough time.”“Best hurry then, old man,” Iuno joked.“I can s...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – 01738.101 AAIt took another hour to find the logbooks. It turned out Lot B was a huge collection of boxes, all culled from some mothballed station in the Tigre Calme System.“It says here they were found sealed in a forgotten storage area,” Victor read a note tapped to the side of one of the boxes. “It’s believed to contain the personal journals of Admiral Becket Copper, who oversaw operations in the region from 01553 AA to 01572 AA.”“I remember Admiral Copper,” Josefine said. “A fine officer, he was from a family w...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – 01738.101 AAThe data slate was fed into the computer. The head tech took a seat in front of the console and began to carefully type. Green text flowed across the screen.“Apologies, Corporal,” the tech said as we waited. “There are thousands of ongoing operations on Valeur Mineure. We are constantly sorting and cleansing documents and data, and new requests arrive by the hour. The Republic and the Martyred Goddess depend on our work to keep our people safe and our history secure.”It took almost an hour for the ancient conso...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 6

Chapter 6 – 01738.101 AA“Courier M87A, please transmit your security clearance.”Xarl tapped on the courier ship’s command console.“Security clearance transmitted,” he replied gruffly.Victor, Iuno, and I stood stiffly behind him. Capturing the black op ship’s computer intact had given us access to their security codes. The codes had likely been revoked the moment the ships had failed to report in, but Aggy had used them as raw material for a new set of cooked-up codes.Combining them with some intel Ramon had provided, and Aggy’s ...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 5

Chapter 5 – 01738.086 AA“Valeur Mineure,” Ramon said as the display showed a small, barren moon. “I have to say, I’ve infiltrated some tough places during my career, but this might be the biggest challenge yet.”We were gathered back in the AI core three days later. Xarl and Victor had joined us, along with Captain Fernandez. If we were going to invade Republican space, I wanted their input.Looking at the data streaming in my cybernetics, I could see that the broker wasn’t exaggerating.The Republic had completely consumed the inter...

Pre-order starts the 19th with release on the 29th!=============================Chapter 4 – 01738.083 AA“This better be good,” I said gruffly as we gathered in Aggy’s AI core.Iuno was already there, while Josefine, Aggy, and Elspeth had followed me from the bridge. I had invited Xarl and Victor to join us, but the quartermaster was busy doing an inventory while the other refused to leave his reading.Balan, silent as always, followed after us. It took some effort to coax...

[Preview]Renegade Ravager Vol. 3 -- Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – 01738.083 AA“You laid it on way too thick,” Elspeth told Aggy. “A new golden age? Seriously?”A second later the albino’s head snapped back as Iuno punched her.“Too slow!” the légionnaire taunted. “You’ve got to keep your hands up and your head on a swivel!”To her credit, the albino engineer didn’t complain. She just wiped the blood from her nose and then raised her fists.We were back in the gym a week after capturing the black ops ships. It was our first chance to get together and catch up.After seizing our ...
