View source for COUNTER/Weight 21: Crisis! (A Solemn Vow Above the Sea of Counterweight)

===Opening===
{{Quote|When [[Jace Rethal|Jace]] and [[Addax Dawn|Addax]] finally moved, he’d watch them from the busy shores of [[Vox]], his sight reaching where his own voice no longer could. They moved, an asymmetrical pair. [[Peace]], gigantic, a city-state on wings above the banks of magma and steam, stomping and gliding in mechanical oscillation. A fortress of power. And then, suddenly, a bird of prey on the thermal wind. And all around it, Jace’s [[Panther (mech)|Panther]], a rigger broken into pieces, but not like glass, like an inverted puzzle, only complete when taken apart. Its core dancing balletic between incoming beams of light as its dozen metal feathers - black and shining - returned the violence twelvefold. Each slept soundly that night, and from the busy shores of Vox, [[Ibex]] watched. 

And later he would watch them again, so still in the air, together: a crisis, a solemn vow, above the sea of Counterweight.}}
