The affairs of Dragons

The Reavers have taken Lily.

The Reaver attacks have been escalating again over the last couple weeks. Reason still unknown, though there's a gut feeling that it's somehow related to the new Blue Sun installation that's going in. Blue Sun wasn't responsible for the original Reavers on Miranda, of course. That was an Epic level boondoggle on the part of Prescott Pharmaceuticals, but Blue Sun, particularly Mindo, has taken an interest since.

But the why, at the moment, wasn't my concern. Getting Lily back was.

The last Reaver attack was larger than expected and I've still got to go through the after-report, but the only detail I actually cared about was that they had somehow managed to capture Lily and had gotten back into the black with her.

How? I didn't care. She hadn't gone willingly. Nearly a dozen Reaver corpses in the courtyard were mute testimony to that. But they had gotten her. Alive, last anyone saw. They had taken her back with them to their lander, and they'd clawed sky back into the Black. Into the Black, where I could track them.

In the old stories, it was said the most dangerous creature in the 'Verse was a Mother Dragon protecting her children.

We will see if it is true.
