Re: THE LOPER - SUNBRINGER
55 It was almost a council of war in the meeting room, with Hawle, Stikka, Havakar and Patchway sat at the table with Salara and Yakkuk conspicuously in opposite corners of the room. The Hrakar had tried assuring her that she wasn’t in trouble but she wasn’t certain she could trust him. His report o...

54 The Loper waited at the edge of sensor range, waiting for the probe they’d sent to report back on the situation on the fourth planet in the system.
