Chapetr 2408  Secrets

Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Yellow Plains, Freedom Fighter's headquarters. Henricks and Luna were sweating bullets, and for good reason. They—along with Ned—had funneled a huge chunk of their organization's already limited funds into the Empty Space Project, tightening the belt on every other department, especially the health department run by Plague Doctor Joy who fortunately for them was too busy attending to the wounded at the plague palace to attend this meeting. Because of that one decision, the health team had been forced to come up with a desperate solution to treat those who desperately needed medical attention—using a unique plague to siphon vitality from healthy members and transfer it to those on their deathbeds or mortally wounded, just enough to pull them back from the brink.

If not for that level of devotion, the organization would have crumbled long before the Southern Princess stabbed them in the back. Because of that, as the ones responsible for dragging their people to this dispair-filled point, Ned, Luna, and Henricks couldn't shake their shame. However, they did not do it out of greed. They knew the Empty Space Project wouldn't just be the answer to their current crisis—it would be their redemption, the key to making things right. After all, by stealing the only known source of Silver Milk overnight, they had turned every single ally of theirs in the Card World into an enemy. Their plans to hand the Silver Beach Dungeon over to the Southern Princess had only sealed their fate. The only way forward now was the Empty Space Project.
