Thus ends Schlock Mercenary Book 12: Force Multiplication.
Tune in tomorrow for the first installment of Schlock Mercenary Book 13: Random Access Memorabilia, in which we will find ancient puzzles, modern problems, and lots and lots of Gavs.
TAILOR: Ennesby, what do you think will happen back in Haven Hive?
ENNESBY: Leveraging my extensive knowledge of history, politics, and Hive dynamics, I foresee disaster.
TAILOR: Disaster? Pau is under control, and Shep has a squad of milspec robots.
ENNESBY: True, but that operation is worth several fortunes, and Shep still thinks like a grunt. We left a power vacuum right at the very top.
That vacuum is going to suck hard, and draw some unscrupulous outsider right into the boardroom. I feel bad for Shep, because I am sure things are going to get ugly fast.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, in Haven Hive...
MA SHEPHARD: ... Next up, somebody needs to vacuum those drains, or things are going to get ugly fast.
