Thank you very much to George for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, Lucan begins a mission to go and check out the Optasia, a seat that the Emperor has used to address Elder problems from afar, and see if there's a way to disable it. He decides pretty quickly it needs to be destroyed. Meanwhile, Shera takes a shower and long soak with Teach, and says that she will do her best not to kill the Emperor without informing Teach first...if she can help it.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
