Spacedawg sighed, “Not much. Just whispers and shadows. But if DeSnaijler’s involved, we need to be ready for anything.”
As the Mandoleer’s Folly patrolled the Lethbridge System, the crew couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. The specter of DeSnaijler

Spacedawg paused, his gaze distant. “DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Until we see a body, we have to assume he’s still out there.”
The ship’s scanners revealed nothing unusual at first. Hours passed, and the tension grew. Then, an alarm sounded.
“Captain, we’ve detected an unidentified ship,” Ensign Kael

“Set an intercept course,” Spacedawg ordered. “Weapons at the ready, but let’s try to take them alive.”
The Mandoleer’s Folly moved swiftly, closing in on the fleeing ship. Despite the unknown vessel’s attempts to evade, the Mandoleer’s Folly’s superior speed and firepower prevailed. A well-placed ion blast disabled the ship’s engines.
“Prepare a boarding team,” Spacedawg commanded, heading to the airlock with Renée and a squad of troopers. “Let’s see who’s behind this.”
They boarded the disabled ship with caution, weapons drawn. The enemy crew, realizing they had no chance, surrendered quickly. Fear was evident in their eyes as they were led back to the Mandoleer’s Folly.
“Put them in the brig,” Renée ordered. “We’ll start interrogations immediately.”
In the interrogation room, Spacedawg and Renée faced the captured crew. “Who hired you?” Renée demanded.
One of the prisoners, a nervous young man, hesitated before speaking. “We were hired by a man… he never showed his face, but he fit the description of DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Spacedawg’s eyes narrowed. “Where is he operating from?”
The man shook his head. “I don’t know. He contacts us through encrypted channels. All we know is that he’s planning something big.”
Meanwhile, in a hidden location, Joost DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

More watched the events unfold on a secure feed, a smirk playing on his lips. “They think they’re getting closer,” he muttered to himself. “But they’ve seen nothing yet.”
Back on the Mandoleer’s Folly, Spacedawg and his team analyzed the new intel. The realization that DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

More was alive and orchestrating events from the shadows only steeled their resolve.
“We need to uncover his hideout and stop him,” Spacedawg said, his voice firm. “Prepare the ship for the next patrol.

The crew nodded in agreement, their determination unwavering. They knew they were now on DeSnaijler’s radar, but they were ready for the challenge. The hunt was on, and the Mandoleer’s Folly would not rest until justice was served.
