Hellhole Inferno
“He was hamstrung here at Tehila.
By now, according to plan, the Constellation fleet should have taken over the Hellhole stringline hub and arrested General Adolphus. But plans often went awry.… If Diadem Michella had just stayed on Sonjeera rather than flouncing her way into a complex military operation as if it were some kind of picnic, Percival would have delivered the whole Deep Zone for her to rule—for good or ill. Without doubt, the Diadem would have exacted severe reprisals upon the rebel...lious colony worlds, which gave Percival cause to reconsider. Was that really the best possible outcome? Who truly would have benefited from that? The Constellation? The Deep Zone? Anyone? Diadem Michella herself?
As he waited at Tehila orbit for repairs to be completed, and for new orders to arrive from the Council on Sonjeera, he killed time in his stateroom. It was hard to be enthusiastic when every possible decision was a bad one.
Though he had spent over an hour crafting it, the letter he had dispatched by emergency courier drone was a weak statement, barely masking his failure, but facts were facts.MoreLess
