Next section of Rogue (excerpt here, the rest on the Space Ritual web site).
It's not a complete chapter as I've been working on the Farnham translation and a couple of short stories for the writing course.

Chapter 19: continued
“Permission to launch, good hunting Commander. Enterprise out.”
Max ran a last test on the ship capture technology, now installed in his new fighter. It was all functioning perfectly, in theory. As he did so he listened to Xela as she updated him on the Challenger research.
“How about Jack’s moles?”
“They’re actually a pretty sharp bunch Max,” Xela answered. “They cracked the quantum resonance problem in a couple of weeks. The trick is preventing them from using that information to get a jump on the putative location of the alien tech for Jackson but I’m keeping the research heavily compartmentalised. Do you want to know what the QR problem was?”
Max waited until his new Mamba burst from the Enterprise launch bay into the fierce glare of Black Hole Sun before answering.

Looks like Max is in a not so great position at the moment. Yet, there should not be too much danger coming from Law himself at the moment after the last fight. As for Hila's Joy, I wonder if he could deploy a ring of LT's and a couple of light fighters to pick out missiles launched against the towers. That should sort out the very most of the pirates, unless, of course, there is an invasion of them
Uhh, also interesting to see what Jackson will be offered. I wondered what Hagman was up to when he mentioned 'an ace up his sleave' in an earlier chapter.
Looking forward to see which way your characters will be running!

I'd better go and keep translating 
Excellent! I agree with Al, the combat scenes are great! Short, precise and thrilling.
The Argon still don't like his stunts and Black Hole Sun, ey?
I like the humour in large parts of this chapter 'you mentioned their mothers'
Well, Law will be spewing. Hopefully Max has not bitten more than he can chew with this battle. Mind you, the odds are nothing he had not managed before. Fingers crossed their won't be any dead pilots on his side and plenty of captured M4/M3 to pay for his expensive life style
Looking forward to the next chapter.
