Summary

With Ibex's threat in the air, an old ally reaches out to The Chime with an offer: Learn about your enemy before you suffer the same fate I did. The group--with a few surprise additions--steps into the past to find out what exactly happened ten years ago. Before she was Queen-Captain of the Weightless, who did Tea Kenridge command? What did Addax mean when he said he hurt Cassander? Who piloted the Kingdom Come before it was decommissioned? Why didn't the Rapid Evening stop the war? And what ever happened to Jace Rethal?

0:00.0	The camera turns on with a hum, a close-up on an eye blinking with purpose as punctuation to a muted lecture.
0:09.0	The shot pulls back slowly to reveal the imperious visage of Ebeck's candidate of righteousness
0:16.0	as he makes his presence known to the crew of the kingdom come.
0:20.7	The shot pulls back further and we see them too in a cutaway of the ship, a diaramic view that reduces it in size, a reduction helped by the sheer force of presence of EBEX, which does not shrink as the camera zooms out, but grows.
0:34.8	We see Maco Trig and Aria Joy laid up in the medical bay. Audie, the symbol of the Iron Choir resting on their chest at the ship's helm and the lost
0:43.2	epistolician Cassandra Timaeus Baronise in the glow of the calm screen.
0:47.9	And then a shot of Cassandra's face, just their face determined.
0:52.2	A wave of pale green static tides across this view, and the camera retracts further now, revealing a second screen, watched by Orth Godlove, leaning forward in his chair, his suit too tight, his eyes straining.
1:06.2	It has been a long time since he's seen Ebez, and he knows what he has to do.
1:11.2	It happens quickly, moments after the candidate vanishes from the screen,
1:16.4	worth his face appears and makes it known with haste, there's no time to argue that the
1:20.6	chime needs to know who is gunning for them and that they should meet him in Mesa the dome that houses the majority of counterweights oricon population
1:29.3	The flight is long and by the time you arrive you were all awake and aware and
1:34.1	concerned. Mesa is overcrowded and the blue sky dome here does nothing to
1:38.7	improve the cramped feeling this place has, nor do the final preparations for the upcoming 10-year anniversary of the Golden War
1:44.4	armistice. You're guided through side roads and alleyways, and eventually you find the door
1:49.0	down a flight of stairs at a building at the end of an alley.
1:53.0	Then you move through a set of door-lined hallways, each turn adjoined by a cough or a wheeze or a groan from behind one of the doors.
2:01.0	And then you open a door, and there's orth, seated among a set of five
2:06.7	medical beds, four of which are empty, and in the fifth, Jace Rathol, pale and bearded and to sleep and with
2:15.0	orth's hand on his forehead he explains the situation quickly
2:19.0	righteousness and ebeks are threats and you must learn what it will be to face them when they arrive.
