There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea’s asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we’ve got work to do.

Yeah, Jacob isn’t getting out of this without a few bruises, as we showed in this chapter’s cover image.  But he acquitted himself well.

I’m taking my customary one day break between chapters.  I promise to you that I am not wasting my time — soon, so very soon, you shall see what all my hard work has been working toward.  For now, there will not be an update this Thursday; we will return with the chapter 14 cover image next Monday, Feb. 23rd.  And I might have an announcement also.  See you then!

Jacob: ...if you want a drill instructor, get someone else. I'm retired.
Abhik: Send in the rest of the squad!
Jacob: Give me a break -- can I please just surrender now?

  1. I’m kind of surprised he doesn’t just lie down — he has made his point. But maybe that’s incompatible with his psychology. 😛

  2. --jt-- says:

    Laying down now would just get him *kicked* a couple dozen times.

  3. Madorakas says:

    Oh hollu father, creator of all that is good… let him KICK ASS!

  4. jprime says:

    Shouldn’t that be “Chapter 13, Page 24”?

  5. Remus Shepherd says:

    Ack, did I…yeah, I did screw that up. Thanks, Jprime. I’m already working on Chapter 15, so it’s easy to get confused. 🙂

  6. Barzha says:

    how many to a squad normally? im seeing 12 there including the 4 that are already out, double the numbers might not be enough for jacob, might want to try 4-5 machine guns with tranq darts, or nets, anything but cqc with him

  7. Ming the Merciless says:

    They are still lucky to just get zapped, Caera would have chopped all their arms and their heads too…
