A Soldier For All Seasons - Chapter Forty Three
Added 2023-04-01 14:14:51 +0000 UTCHi everyone, hope you had a great week. Sorry, meant to post this last night, but I wasn't quite happy with one scene so I needed to rewrite it. Hope you enjoy the chapter - the crew get to the bottom of Talia (and what a bottom it is). Someone out there has a fixation on Nate, but who could it be?
Hope you all have a great week and thank you so much for your support.

While not completely suspicious (they could be in shock, or made of sterner stuff than I), alarm bells be ringing. How deep does this rabbit hole go? Enemies in every shadow, but not ever shadow conceals an enemy. Who to trust?

2023-04-01 18:01:29 +0000 UTCUpon re-read, Lunar arrives covered in blood, definitely not tongue in cheek 😂 Leaving this many bodies behind will make quite the stir on a commercial/tourist planet! Unless someone does a very subtle clean up op

Did she also fight guards on the outside, or was it a tongue-in-cheek comment? Secondly, a baton that also has a force field - given Nate’s shocked reaction to the tech, it’s either a new cutting edge innovation, or ridiculously expensive, or both. Why not grab them while leaving, either as a clue to who hired them, or to sell/use themselves? Leaving them behind feels wasteful. Third, Nate choked out his assailant, but it doesn’t explicitly state that he killed him. This would be an ideal opportunity for some hostage interrogation, or an untied loose end that’ll come back and bite Nate in the rear later on, when Mr. poor father wakes up from his impromptu nap. Lastly, Nate is definitely made of sterner stuff than me - if I had my crotch given a punching bag treatment, I wouldn’t be thinking sexy thoughts for a few days at least 😂
