FLIGHT OF THE WAR MASTER

Apparently, the fog of war is a real thing! A lot happened while I was preoccupied with facing off with the galaxy’s deadliest rapist. Turns out that the Zodiac elder that Jimma and Grinder came to rescue was alive and well. The circumstances of how that came to pass are tricky to recount since so much was happening at one time.

The rapist’s name is Zedd. He’s a former Crimson Fleet officer and fraternal twin to his identical twin brothers. I guess that makes them fraternal triplets, but I’m not sure how to phrase it…. Either way, Zedd and Jimma have… err had bad blood between them for some reason. I’m guessing that they’ve faced off in the past or something. The other two brothers are identical, but only one is the twin I want to kill.

The trouble with identical DNA is that I can’t sense which one is the one that took Trixie. Probably both, but I’m not sure. One of the twins was recently captured by the UAHC military, and a Zodiac named Shade was his caretaker. Shade is a panther. A very old, and very beautiful panther. I’m told that her late husband was the Mighty Sundown, who was paired with the legendary War Master Kaylen. So, she’s kind of a big deal.

Zedd conspired with Peterson to rescue… Peterson. Apparently, they both use that as their name. Weird. But in any case, Shade was captured when the two brothers sprung their other brother from the brig. Jimma and Grinder were sent to track them down and rescue Shade.

Gail is another story. It would seem that she was already a captive of Zedd and Peterson #1 prior to rescuing their brother. She was beaten up pretty bad, but she is an elite UAHC Soldier, so she managed to survive.

It would seem that the brother that got rescued had built up a close report with Shade, and he helped her escape. He helped Gail out in the process. Thinking they were both dead, the other brothers had no idea that they’d been betrayed. Shade and Gail made their move when the brothers were tied up with us, and lucky for me… Gail killed Zedd with her bare hands. UAHC Soldiers are known to be second only to a War Master in a fight, so I’m glad there was one around before I got – injected - by man-meat.

But everything did not come up roses….

Jimma was rendered unconscious, taken aboard the frigate, and the ship just blew out of here not long ago. Even two Zodiacs, a supped-up killer robot, and a UAHC Soldier were unable to stop it from happening. I can’t help feeling remorseful. Somehow I think that she might not have been taken if I’d done something different... Something smarter, maybe.

Years of critiquing my combat skills in isolation has forged bad habits. Without a mentor on-hand, I had to self-analyze my training progress. I often pushed myself to achieve unrealistic goals and then beating myself up for not doing better.
