The heroism of war is a lie. It’s no the bravest who fight, but those who have no other choice. It’s not the noble who die, but those who are the least equipped to avoid death. The glory of war is a mask put on to cover the despair of a people without hope.

-Jesse Welles

MEET THE CREW

Elliot Wilgrove – Master pilot, veteran (dishonor discharge) 30

John Stavros – thief, script kiddie, basic flying skills, mechanical wizard, combat veteran, Oliver queen rich ~35

Lucy Killworth (owner of the Multnomah)- hacking wizard, social engineer (in person skills are not great but ok), decent flying skills ~23 (POV)

Becka- hacker (taught Lucy but Lucy is now the greater hacker), grifter (her true gift) 23

Act 1

they meet at Laramie Station

Multnomah docks at Laramie station where Lucy fires.

Becka approaches Lucy to transport John and Eliot to Tau Ceti which has no extradition treaty with the Wolf System or any of their allies.

Act 2

All 3 agree to work together to take down Luke Callahan and they start with getting his money while they set up their bigger plan

Becka begins to trains John on some tactics that grifters use to get close to Luke getting frustrated that he is

Act 3

John approaches Elliot as an University student that is wanting to get into politics under the alias Oliver Allen (yeah I know its bad but I love it too much to change it, fuck the haters) putting on a fake US Southern accent and parroting extreme right ring rhetoric and bootlicking Luke Callahan eats it all up and agrees to take John as an apprentice.

John during his 3 months as Luke’s “apprentice” John comes to fully trust Luke despite some turbulence after about 6 weeks in. John learns that he ordered the bombing of the school because of a new headmaster that was going to come clean that Luke used it as a brothel grooming the younger kids so when they “come of age” they would be moved to the east wing and Luke would bring in people to have sex with them as favors to do his in return they do the BBEG’s bidding. A la Epstein Island but a bit more…

Act 4

They find a “Black Book” (come up with better name later) a list of the top 1% who have gotten away with a range of crimes from pedophilia, war profiteering and murder. While reading the list of names ranging from high elected officials to business leaders and other Elliot’s and what they have done, they come to the conclusion that something has to be done and that they are the only ones who may have the ability to do something.

It all comes together and John kills Luke Callahan on live TV
