Chapter 71 – Orsted’s Decision
Chapter 71: Orsted's Decision Ash didn't speak until we were half an hour out from the hollow.

I walked with my attention on the ground ahead and the part of me that lived in forward assessment already working through the next sequence. The debrief with Mike.

Chapter 72 – A New Destination

From the rise you could see the lower section of Red Dragon's Lower Jaw, the road empty now, the late afternoon light going amber across the hills with the particular indifference that geography had toward the events that occurred on it. Ruijerd sat on the eastern edge watching the road. Not threat-scanning. He had been asked to wait. He had made that into its own discipline. Beside him, Eris sat with her back…-

Chapter 74 – Inauguration
Chapter 74: Inauguration --- The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across what had once been fertile farmland as Rudeus took his first steps onto Fittoa soil in what felt like a lifetime.
