" To make this story short and sweet, there's this girl I loved, Christene Aucoin, and she left me for the Council 2 months ago. Shes an excellent pilot, and is already piloting an Agama. Four days ago, I received word that my brother was shot down by her, and he is in critical condition. However, I cannot reach him, for he is in a hospital on New Paris, and the jump gates to Il-de-France are sealed. And if you ever find her, I will pay you to bring her to me alive, and she is most likely found in Lorraine."
Brun drink the rest of his glass, and stares out the window, as if searching for something.
