Generalized production of the elixir hastily got underway with optimism. Everyone was at work in the medbay of Mandoleer’s Folly, with people, nurses, and medical bots accelerating day and night, packaging the cure. The serum was quickly available throughout the New Brunswick Sector
Overview A Sector, commonly referred to as a Provincial Sector, is a designated area of space within the broader and diverse cosmic region known as the Canadian Expanse. These Sectors function similarly to provinces, contributing to the organization and governance of this vast territory. Structure and Division The Canadian Expanse is divided into thirteen Provincial Sectors, each with its own... More along its borders.
In the medical bay, Spacedawg and the Alchemist watched as the last of the crew members received their final dose of the serum. They all were, for good measure, fine, strength, and spirits back.
Spacedawg smiled as he looked back at the Alchemist. “Congratulations, Alchemist. We did it.”
A nod made the bushy beard of the Alchemist twitch. “Was a team effort, Captain.”
The little party in the mess was full of laughter, tinkling of glasses, and a sense of relief—they had come through the worst and survived.
As some crews were treated, other decontamination procedures were specifically for unique ships with modern technology, which were applied to clean, decontaminate, or otherwise sanitize vessels involved in those breach incidents. The proper decontamination procedures of the crew and Mandoleer’s Folly were applied so that no disease could be left with the boat or the crew.
But along with the victory was a flood of hate messages toward Spacedawg: murders, traitors—the Quebec Sector News Service

More had grossly distorted the news.
Alvis stood in the middle of the conference room with a look of resolve. “Captain, let me take the fall for this. I decided to destroy those ships.”
Spacedawg shook his head, adamant. “No, Ed. The final responsibility is mine as Captain. I won’t let you take the blame.”
Ed sighed. “It was necessary due to the situation. We only acted the way we had to to prevent a worse catastrophe.”
Spacedawg put a hand on Ed’s shoulder. “And we stand by that decision together. We did what had to be done.” The team filed into a debrief, reflecting on the mission and hard calls to be trusted. An overtone of great pride suffused the room.
“We had extreme odds and hard choices to make because we saved so many lives,” came from Maelstrom
Origin and Early Life Maelstrom, a Gichi-manidoo from the Rogue Moon of Giizis Babaa-ayaa in the Ontario Sector, is distinguished by her blue-furred, wild cat-like features. A member of the humanoid species with a deep connection to nature, she embodies the physical and spiritual traits of her heritage. Maelstrom’s life took a significant turn when she relocated to the bustling... More, whose voice held steady. “It does not matter again.”
The Alchemist nodded. “We have to stand united. Our strength is in unity and determination.”
Messages continued pouring in from various sectors, and the well-wishers increased. The pointer had to be that the containment and curing of the disease. The RCSC High Command released a statement in support of the crew of the Mandoleer’s Folly as it felt it had been a shining example of courage and the ability to make difficult decisions.
Spacedawg addressed his crew, his voice full of conviction: “We’ve been through all this, but in the process, it made us strong; the mission continues, and we are determined to face whatever is brought against us unified.”
They began setting up for the next assignment. They were ready to get going, ready to try and make a difference despite the problem and the criticism. With Mandoleer’s Folly listed as their next destination, Spacedawg stood on the bridge, staring out into the vast space. He had shown the way—this leader had—while he illuminated the way, storm, and darkness, the light of hope and strength to go farther and farther into the future.
