The Dauntless Gambit

Aboard the Matilda, Samantha and the crew try to make sense of what happened on Senali. Some take it better than others.

Julian learns of news in the Fringe. It’s not great. On the Terminus, Qin is introduced to someone new, and someone who can help her.

The confrontation on Senali concludes…

Samantha, Decker, and Eliza close in on Kat Basara. Locating her was easy, what they do now is a little more difficult. At the Matilda, Heavy and Manu receive a special delivery.

Julian, Qin, and Yadav have a private conversation in a more hospitable environment. At 5E headquarters, Clarke has a reunion with an old friend… and a request to make.

Back on Senali, Samantha must prepare for her confrontation with Kat Basara. This time, there’s no 5E or rules of engagement to hold her back. It’s time for her to gear-up and get the crew of the Matilda to back her plan.

Qin’s missions have converged into one: find dirt on Renic. But, without evidence, she can’t alert him or anyone else in OS-9. If Yadav were to help, however, that could change things. Qin needs an ally… and a friend.  

On route in jumpspace to Senali, the crew of the Matilda has one last chance to decide if they are in our out with Samantha’s quest. Kat Basara is in Samantha’s sights, but she can’t do it alone. Time to rally the team.
