Belial, take Phoebe and Daisy!"…
My soul aches. It burns. After suffering from Ose’s unexpected sneak attack, it took me the better part of a day to recover. Had my mind-wife not succeeded in treating my condition with medical drones, I’d have probably ended up incapacitated for weeks, perhaps even a full month.

With…

The Gosheks are cutting off our path of retreat," Soren yells. "I’m grabbing an elevated position!" Not far away, a huge Kraktol…
Inside the Bloodbearer’s Executive Lounge, a large circular table with a holographic emitter in its middle rests in the center of the room.
