space-piracy

Elena, having awakened from 500 years of cryosleep, struggles to adapt to the vastly changed future society while finding tentative companionship with bartender Jana. Meanwhile, Callie prepares their ship with advanced weaponry under a cover story to hunt pirates, following the destruction of the salvage ship Anjou, which deeply affects Elena. The crew adjusts to their mission, meets the augmented cyborg Ashok who offers help with alien implants, and faces a sudden crisis when Meditreme Station is destroyed.

In Chapter 32, Callie and her crew execute a covert takeover of the pirate base on Glauketas, using teleportation infiltration and strategic legal claims to assert control over the station. Following the seizure, they prepare for a critical mission to the Liar base, equipping themselves with repurposed technology while grappling with the moral complexities of deception and leadership amid interstellar conflict.
