Episode description[edit | edit source]
After their initial gambit found success, the members of SBBR have put Columnar’s too-curious 301st Appraisal Unit off balance. Now, they seek to finish the deal--but to do so in such a way that will not draw more attention and ire towards the Sable Court, who has hired them. And if they can succeed, they may yet find that while the Great Stels of the Principality pay well, covens hidden in the woods offer more than simple currency in reward for loyalty.

Plot[edit | edit source]
Broun and Thisbe successfully take out Dina's Wedge, but Cobra continues fighting despite being outnumbered. He flees when Kenzi tells him to stand down. Thisbe chases after, taking him down with a tree while Mow is lacerated by his chainsaw.
The 301st leave their mechs. Valence lets Kenzi get a first aid kit for Cobra, but instead she rearms herself. After Valence negotiates and Broun treats Cobra, Kenzi agrees to report only that they encountered another Columnar squad. Broun takes some parts from their wrecked mechs but gives Cobra additional Columnar-appropriate medical supplies to help them leave the area.
SBBR returns victorious to Mourningbride, who takes them through the woods to the Sable Court, a group of Ashen veterans who have defected from Apostolos. The Loess, the leader of the Court, reveals to Thisbe that there are worlds unmarked on any map, which are unserviced by the Portcullis System and left isolated by the empire.
Valence tells Mourningbride a little about the Nobel. Considering Cymbidium's message, she informs them that someone from the Principality must have used the ancient Hyphan Strand technology to travel into the Scutum-Centaurus Arm undetected, without needing to use the Portcullis System. Each of SBBR receives a piece of clarified memoria; Valence's will let them contact the Court again. Broun convinces Eiden Teak to trade them gear.
When they return to Oxbridge, they learn Kesh is launching a new offensive into Apostolos territory to seize Fort Icebreaker.
