The atmosphere aboard the Mandoleer’s Folly was thick with tension as the senior officers gathered in the conference room. Spacedawg, Maelstrom

More connected the black box to the holoscreen. “Alright, let’s see what we’ve got,” she said, her voice calm but focused.
The screen flickered to life, showing the final moments recorded on the yacht. The room fell silent as the footage revealed masked saboteurs boarding the ship, the terrified faces of the crew, and the chaotic struggle that ensued.
The yacht’s Captain appeared on the screen, fighting off the attackers. One of the saboteurs, his face hidden behind a mask, stepped forward and shot the Captain. The saboteur leaned into the camera, his voice chilling. “You ain’t seen nothing yet. This is just the beginning.”

We might be able to trace it,” she said, a hint of determination in her eyes.
Spacedawg nodded. “Good work. Keep digging. We need to find out who these people are and why they did this.”
As the crew continued their analysis, an urgent message came through from Prime Minister Jean le Castor. His holographic image appeared, his expression somber.
“Captain Spacedawg, I’m assigning additional resources to aid in your investigation. We need to get to the bottom of this quickly,” the Prime Minister said, his voice steady.
“Thank you, Prime Minister. We won’t rest until we’ve uncovered the truth,” Spacedawg replied.
Renée stepped forward. “I suggest an undercover mission to infiltrate known criminal organizations that might be linked to the saboteurs. We need to go deep to find answers.”
Spacedawg agreed. “Make the preparations, Renée. Take whoever you need.”
Renée gathered a few trusted crew members and began planning the undercover operation. Meanwhile, Ed received a tip from an informant about a possible meeting between high-level criminals discussing recent events.
“This meeting could give us the intel we need,” Ed said. “We should intercept it.”
The crew devised a plan to infiltrate the meeting. Renée and her team, disguised and equipped with hidden recording devices, successfully blended into the criminal gathering.
As they listened, one of the criminals mentioned the attack on Fort Smith Station. “The boss says this is just phase one. Next, we hit multiple targets across the Canadian Expanse.”
Renée’s eyes widened as she recorded the conversation. This was the confirmation they needed—there was a larger plot at play.
After the meeting, Renée and her team returned to the Mandoleer’s Folly with the crucial information. Spacedawg called an emergency meeting.
“We have intel on a coordinated series of attacks,” Renée reported. “The saboteurs are part of a larger network. Their next target is imminent.”
Spacedawg’s expression was steely. “We need to act fast. Ed, coordinate with the RCSC and our allies.

As the crew scrambled to prepare, a message came through with coordinates for the next target. They were about to head out when another message arrived, this one anonymous.
It read: “There’s a traitor among you. Be careful who you trust.”
Spacedawg felt a chill run down his spine. “We’ll deal with that later. Right now, we have lives to save. Let’s move.”
With the new intel, the Mandoleer’s Folly launched into action, racing against time to prevent another catastrophic attack. The tension was high, but the crew was determined to protect the Canadian Expanse from the looming threat.
