Please note we have a CW on Chapter 14 for discussion of rape.  If you want to skip, Chapter 14 begins at 45.10, chapter summary ends at 51.30 and chapter discussion ends at 57.50

All aboard our new ship. She's called #DownWithKyle. No apologies to Kyles. We're real mad at him right now. This episode continues the squabbles of clan Vestrit/Haven, the introduction of *~Amber~* and some Paragon theories.
