Synopsis[]

Threat[]

Tsalka, Sire of all India, and General Esshk discuss the recent re-discovery of the Lemurians. They listen to excuses of the Hij who commanded the recent foray into the Jaava Sea about the attack on a Home and the intervention of a strange ship. The ship commander relates having eaten a captive with no tail and offers a similar being to Tsalka. The Sire is not mollified and orders the ship commander to suicide. Guards arrive with the other captive, who identifies himself as kaphmaan.

Aryaal[]

After overcoming some reluctance on the part of Nakja-Mur and other Baalkpans, Matthew Reddy begins a mission to Aryaal. Upon arrival, Reddy finds B'mbaado besieged by Grik. He attacks the besieging fleet using the captured Grik ship, which has been commissioned as USS Revenge, as bait.
