It is now between three to four months later, in the spring of 4919. Eremit recovered from his stabbing, Walter came away from Botkyrka with a shiny new knife and a couple thousand bucks in his pocket, and Jaakko and Tippy concluded their trip to Kintharia.

Everyone has been called back to duty and is currently gathered in the pilots quarters of the Tordenskjold as it prepares for takeoff.
