Lo Rusters! Darrow, Sevro, Rags, and the rest are only steps away from victory. All they need to do is get through one wall and they will achieve a decisive victory. That's it!

We are finally here, the moment of moments - in the immortal words of the poet - Let fall the rain! Darrow and the crew have a nice brief bit of banter before loading up. Darrow watches his plan within plans unfold as the space battle kicks off. He’s laid some clever little traps, stratagems in the old world sense. Once he’s fired out the spittube we get a little drive by of an invasion unfolding, fighters going one v one, dreadnoughts and battleships blasting into each other, fires everywhere, and the randomness of battle. They make landfall having lost one Howler; Harpy but quickly collect themselves and set up an LZ. Darrow and his team deal with some contacts and make their way to a meeting with Mustang and her large force on the ground. They continue to widen the bridgehead and deal with the various facets of multi domain battlefields. Once it's realized that Darrow and the Augustain side is winning Darrow gets a call from above. The Poet has some vital intel, but Darrow already knows.

Lo Rusters! Darrow and the crew are off to war and he gets a little pump up from Sev. What does he have to do? How does have to fight? And why does it matter, not just today, but in the long game? Also, Bookie gives his take on Project Hail Mary.

Is there an argument to be made for Lysander au Lune being the hero of the Red Rising Universe? The Grandson of a Sovereign, the Scion of Silenius, the Survivor of the Ladon, Hero of Heliopolis, the Champion of Gold, the first Son of the Society might just be the good guy on a day like today...

Lo Rusters! Darrow and his dogs of war are about to be unleashed but first he has to do a bit of William Wallace to fuel the flames of war. Lorn has moment, the Jackal is doing his thing, and Victra is not doing her thing (that thing being Darrow). All are heading to an iron rain!

Lo Rusters! Pliny, Pliny, Pliny! You really thought you had it all figured out, that somehow you were at the top of the food chain. How quickly things change when Darrow is on the move. And on the move he is as he strikes out against the enemies of Nero. What is the next move for the Howlers and Co.? Looks like the forecast is in and it calls for rain.

Lo Rusters! Darrow and the Crew are headed to pay Pliny a little visit, just a friendly hello I'm sure. Along the way, we have a chat with Lorn and find out what his love life is like, what he did with his people after joining Darrow, and what he really thinks of Rags. Speaking of everyone's favorite neighborhood Stained; Ragnar learns something about Darrow that may just change everything...or not! Who can say! Chuck is doing well and we hope he is back soon, fysa.

Lo Rusters! Darrow has a vision, maybe a dream? Either way, his reverie is cut short when Mustang visits. After Rags is told to be on his way, the two do a bit of a Kansas City two-step. They both want to know why the other is doing what they are doing and how they truly feel about the other, but of course they don't really get any answers.

Lo Rusters! Chuck is out this week but he'll be back and so we carry on! Mustang returns having failed and she brings grim news: Pliny is making a power play and Nero has been captured. Darrow and gang need to make a plan but first he does a bit of bartering with Kavax and Daxo. On the way to the conference room Darrow and Mustang make a pit stop to visit the Poet and Tactus, the rift grows. The conference itself is a bit rough, particularly for Victra, but Darrow and Roque nip the discord in the bud.

Lo Rusters! Lorn is pissed, Darrow is on edge, and Sevro is horned up for the hunt. Aja and Tactus spring their trap and then all hell breaks loose. We finally understand what Lorn's teachings and stories are all about, what he has been trying to explain to Darrow (and us); actions = consequences.
