Welcome back Merc, I trust you had an enjoyable break.

Nice continuation of the chapter and tension still rising i'm expecting the Khaak any moment now.

I do wonder tho if the loss of communication timing was just coincidence, or were the Khaak onto him that quick? bad news if they were! hehe bad news I guess if they wern't and it was just a coincidence! :wink:

Cheers, looking forward to more, soon I hope :)

Welcome back from your (short) vacation!

Excellent read! Shows that you made proper use of the days you had at your disposal (or not had) :D

Like Moss, I wonder if the communications problem is indeed result of Khaak activity or coincidental ... or the ancients trying to 'sandbox' the Khaak again? Plenty of scope for further developments!

I am looking forward to the next part!

Yay, now the cards are on the table ... well, sort of. I don't think two LT's at a gate will provide much of a defense. Yet, it may buy a few seconds. I guess they better get the Silicon mine moving. With the help of the Roamer - if it makes it through the gate - they may even be able to accelerate the motion of the mine to more than the thrusters are capable.
Fingers crossed Sweety can extract some more really helpful things from those crystals. Otherwise they all will be locked away in an asteroid for some time. Mind you, Trish has to make it back somehow ...

Excellent read, Merc. Would you please read through the last two paragraphs again. They confused me a bit with advantages turning to and from the Khaak etc..

Looking forward to the next chapter!

niiiiice. Great to be back in the swing of things :) looks like the khaak have picked off more than they can chew in Tor and the AIC,
(cant wait for them to roll out the corvette :twisted: bring out your dead....



still with only 3 LTs per gate, 1 mammoth, 1 AIC corvette, 3ESS fighters and the defience they may have quite a hard time fending those pesky khaak off.

One question I want to ask is why Tor hasnt invested in an M2 or 1 yet? With his contacts, the AIC and his bank balance he could have a beauty of a capital ship.
(/me dreams of an M2 with ESS :twisted: bring out your dead....

I don't think Tor has enough cash to afford a capitol ship at this point in time. Also, you may remember that every station owner has only an allowance of so many fighters. Due to the sensitive locality they were not even allowed to build weapons factories. Mind you, a drone fab would come in very handy right now, as well as a laser tower fab.

Great stuff merc. Looks like Torr might be in for a little trouble but maybe its time he earned the reputation of a great fighter as you stated way back at the start of Traders Tale #1 ;)

Few typos which I'll try and post up later.

Cheers... and the wars only just beginning too...

This encounter should also help to explain why he was chosen to go looking for the lost ship mentioned at the beginning of the first Traders Tale.. :wink:

Aha! But will the story explain how he disappears and where he goes and whether he ever comes back?
