Chhun is ordered to break away from the group trying to take the engine room and take the bridge ASAP. Along the way, just before he would otherwise have been confronted with guards, he has a series of ship doors convieniently lead him along a safe path to the bridge.

The six person kill team makes an ‘indelible’ entry to the ship from the hullbuster and make their way to the engine room.

We see the same period of time from Tom’s POV desperately trying to stop the plot. He finally gets a chance after a short scuffle on the bridge to set and delay the jump to hyperspace to buy time for the Republic.

The Kill team is called to action right as they complete their training session. The six of them board via a hullbuster and make an ‘indelible’ entry.

X/Tom begins to panic while Scarpia tells him about another change to the plans which would mean the message Illuria sent to the Republic would have the wrong location for the weapons rendezvous. Captain Eliyah Deynolds realizes what’s happening with the suspicious corvette now above Ankalore and readies the troops.

X/Tom has a rendezvous with Illuria in the sauna on the Smuggler’s End while the beach party continues. They form a plan to stop the bomb plot. The next day Scarpia tells X/Tom there will be a battalion of heavily armoured zhee on board while Illuria sends the message.

The kill team unknowingly prepares with simulations they keep failing and are beginning to get nervous about if they had to do it for real.

The kill team (who have decided to rebrand to Victory Company) interrogate the journalist who told X/Tom he could acquire the ordnance from Jarref Varuud. Andien shows a video of her interrogating Varuud, revealing Scarpia was behind the Kublar bombings and is planning more.

Tom gets paranoid about Scarpia’s impending plan to bomb the House of Reason and leaves a beach party to try to send a message from the boat.

Killing the legionnaires has alerted the rest of the ship so X/Tom and Frogg make a hasty retreat. X/Tom begins to realize it may be difficult for the Republic to realize he’s one of them.

Chhun, Wraith, Twenties, Exo, and the rest of the kill team complete another successful HVT capture on a Zhee militia leader who knows the whole story behind the Chiasm and Camp Forge bombings.

X/Tom comes up with a plan for Scarpia to bomb another ship by feigning a ship emergency and begins executing it.

X/Tom and Scarpia disguise themselves as maintenance workers and begin infiltrating the ship. While killing a trio of legionnaires X/Tom finds in increasingly more difficult to justify his actions.

The kill team successfully captures Cantrell Saan, who seems very cooperative.

Scarpia asks X/Tom to kill Cantrell Saan, with the knowledge he has a kill team coming to get information out of him.

The team joyously reunites with Exo and they tell him the news about being selected for dark ops.

X/Tom spends some time with Scarpia and Frogg luxuriating onboard the Smuggler’s End on the planet Pthalo. He notices he begins to like the idea of becoming Tom full-time.

The squad waits for their meeting with Owens by listening to Masters’ theory on the origin of all humanoid species. Owens arrives and reveals the HVT of their mission to be the capture Cantrell Saan, a government worker turned arms smuggler.
