Chapter 21: preparations and announcements

As soon as the Black Manta had landed on Shiloh, Sonny ordered new routines as for security and

acess to the ship. The last month's events alone, had made him realise how easy it was to come

close to his ship and him. Taking on a role as the leader of this organization, would require security

matters being adressed. Sonny was aware that his men, as well as himself, would draw attention to

them when the announcement of the new leader of the pirates would come. Corso had been by his

side ever since the landing. Sonny was very thankful for that. He had a lot of things to think of.

The very secret crew that would take any new leader to a hidden location, to prepare him for the

role they had elected him to, had given notice that it was time. Corso had asked for a few extra

hours on his behalf, before Sonny had to leave. The crew had agreed to this, as The Black Manta

had just arrived from Akillian. Sonny had made contact with his family, and told them what had

happened. They now knew he was safe, and back on Shiloh. It had been extremely important to

Sonny that they didn't worry for him any more than they had to. Corso looked at him.

What lay waiting for him, made Sonny unable to relax. Not even his strategy of massage had

helped. As soon as that message of the crew coming for Sonny tonight was delivered, Sonny was

working hard to get everything he needed to tend to, done before they arrived. It was stressing him

out, and Corso had enough. «Sonny, would you just take five minutes to relax?».

Sonny didn't answer, he was busy checking data on the computerscreen. It pissed Corso off.

«Sonny?». Again, no reply. Corso walked up to him, and grabbed hold of his wrist. «Corso, what

are you doing?» Sonny looked irritated over this interruption. «Sonny, you're stressed out, sit down,

have a cup of coffe, and just relax». «No can do Corso, they'll be here in just a short while now, by

then, I need these things done», «Sonny, if it's not done, I'll handle it. This is important, you have to

go with them, time is of the essence here». Sonny sighed. Corso was right, and he knew.

«I know Corso, it's just...» he stoped, and looked away. «What Sonny? Tell me, you know I only

wish the best for you». Corso let go of his wrist, and placed both hands on his shoulders, standing

behind him. Sonny was leaning on his arms over the computer, it all of a sudden seemed evident

that he was exhausted. Corso could feel the tension in his neck. He didn't give it a second thought,

and used his foot to pull a chair close to them. Then, he sat Sonny down, and started massaging his

neck. «Sonny, it's completely safe. There is no one that will harm you in this place».

«How do you know Corso?», Sonny's question was justified. Corso continued massaging his neck,

and calmly started to reply Sonny's question. « I know, because I've been to this place before».

«But how, only the leaders to be are taken there right?». Corso nodded, «The leaders to be and their

chosen confidantes. This is a choise that is either done for you, or you have a clear opinion on who

you want. This is a choise completely of your own free will Sonny, no one can tell you who you

want as your closest confidante.» Sonny seemed to be lost in thought, but he wasn't getting tensed

at this information. Corso didn't want to interfeere with Sonny's decission. He just calmly

continued the massage, feeling how the tension slowly gave way, and Sonny relaxed.

Corso continued for a little longer, before Sonny signaled for him to stop. He slowly stood up, and

prepared to go to his cabin to relax for a little while. «Come with me to my cabin Corso, I could

use some company», he said and turned to his friend with a smile. Corso smiled too. «That would

be an honor Sonny». Together, the two friends, who had personalities, that was in many ways like

yin and yang, had found a rare and uniqe friendship, a bond in blood. They leaned on eachother for

support in times of need, they would comfort eachother, be there for eachother and keep eachother

safe. The bond was solidified through the seven years they had been together as friends. However,

the journey that lay ahead, would take the friendship to new heights...

0000000000000

The time was in. Sonny had packed a small backpack. Corso didn't know, but the choise of his

confidante to follow him on this journey, was a choise Sonny had already made when the pirates

had elected him to be their leader. A knock on the door was heard, and Bennet came into the room.

«It's time Sonny, I wish you all the best». «Thank you Bennet, gather all the men before I leave, I

have a choise of confidante and who is in charge onboard untill I return, to announce».

«Sure thing Sonny, do you wish us to go on raids while you're away?». «No, prioritize maintenance

and supplies to be filled up. I got a hunch we will be on the run for a little while, when it is

announced to the Duke who the new leader is». «We're always on the run Sonny, it couldn't be any

worse than it already is can it?». Sonny looked at the both of them. «Oh, both you two, believe me,

when Duke Maddox learns of this news, the stakes will be upped. He might not place a higher prize

on my head, it is sufficiently high as it is, what is more likely, is that you Corso, and possibly also

you, Bennet, might risk having your own wanted posters». «What? No, I can't imagine that, women

would kill eachother for a copy of that poster» said Bennet. It really eased the tension that had been

in the room, and all the three pirates laughed out loud. Then Artie came into the room.

«What's taking you so long? The crew is here». Sonny nooded. « Time to go then». Corso and

Bennet fell in behind him, as Artie led them to the ships bridge. The crew, all wearing masks, hoods

and dressed in black, with cloacks embedded with the pirates emblem, stood in the middle.

Sonny kneeled before them. «I am ready, Supreme leader». The one member, wich carried the title

of Supreme leader, bid him stand up. «Now, have you chosen your confidante?».

«I have» replied Sonny with a nod. « And the crewmen to be in charge of operations in your

absence?». Again, Sonny confirmed that he had thought this through, and chosen his men in

charge. Infact, he had done it as late as an hour ago. He had not allowed Corso to see the list this

time. He didn't want Corso to grow over confident, but he had a very special assignment for him in

this. The Supreme leader bid Sonny to tell them of the decission he had made.

Sonny stood at the platform, and looked at his crewmembers, all of them were valued members of

his staff. Either one of them was gone, there was something onboard not running right, it was like

they represented the ships nervecenter, if one piece was missing, it crippled the mighty ship.

«Friends, you all have shown me an immense trust, by asking me to take on the role as your leader.

For that, I thank you. Now, the final journey to take on this responsibillty is about to commence.

I will be gone from the ship for a given line of time, this is to complete the process of becoming the

leader you deserve and need. To learn the ways we need to go to keep this together.

With me, I will bring one member of my crew, my elected confidante, and the rest of you, will be

handed orders from the ones I put in charge». Sonny stoped, to see if what he was saying, was

getting through to his men. Once he had a clear feeling on that, he continued by telling who was in

charge of what, and what needed be done. Sonny emphasized the need for upgrades to the security

onboard, and asked his men to come up with ideas as to how to improve things and renew the

systems. Then, he turned to his most trusted trio. «Corso, Bennet, Artie, you three are my team,

we've been taking care of eachother since I came here, and therefore, it is only fit that I entrust two

of you with the responsibillity of the ship, and it's crew. Bennet, Artie, I want you to act as

commander and deputycommander in my absence, in the order I spoke your names.

Are you ready to take on this task?» Bennet nodded in response. «It's an honor Sonny, I'll take care

of things with Artie's help». «Good». Then, Sonny turned to Corso. Sonny saw how Corso was soft

in the eye when he looked at him. Corso knew what kind of task Sonny had in store for him.

It was the strongest sign Sonny could have ever shown him, it had it all, compassion, understanding,

respect, brotherhood and love. Sonny didn't have to say it out loud, but it was required that he

asked him formally. «Corso?» Sonny's voice was soft. Corso met his gaze.

« There really wasn't a choise on who I'd ask for this. You've been there, ever since I cam here.

You're the bigbrother I never had. I would trust you with my life on any given day.

Corso, will you be my confidante?». «Yes Sonny, I promise to stay by your side, and help you

through the hardships you face right now and in what may be in hold in the future to come».

Sonny said nothing, but his eyes gave him away. Corso knew how much him accepting this position

meant. «Do you need to pack something before we go?» , Corso smiled.

«No, I had a feeling that you were gonna say this, you were so secretive bout your list of chores and

who was to do it, that I figured you'd tell me sooner or later» Sonny smiled.

Corso went and picked up his bag. Sonny did the same, and jumped off the platform.

«Thank you Corso» Emotions were evident in Sonny's eyes, but he managed to keep them from his

voice. Corso responded, by putting his hand on Sonny's shoulder. « Any time, any given day

Sonny, I'll stand by you, no matter what». «are you ready?» it was the voice of the supreme leader.

«Yes». Before they left, Sonny handed Bennet a small computer. «Type your name, and add a

password, then you got all that you need». «Right Sonny, you and Corso need to go now, I'll see

you at the ceremony upon your return.» Sonny gave him and Artie, who had joined them, a quick

hug. «Artie, make sure Bennet is focused on work and not just the fun, Bennet, the same goes for

Artie». Both pirates nodded, and Sonny and Corso left the ship. Once leaving, both of them were

blindfolded. « This is just how it's been done ever since the pirates formed Sonny» Sonny nodded,

he had read about the rituals and prepared himself for this. Once they were securely blindfolded,

Sonny and Corso were led into a waiting shuttle, who took off for an unknown and secret

destination...

It was a wodded area. Apparantly, this was not on Shiloh, wich was a planet close to the sun, what

was charracteristic about Shiloh, was the dry dessert looking areas, training in other climates

required the pirates to travel. For the mission in snowtraining, The pirates had gone to a remote part

of Akillian to train. Sonny never liked it there, not after what had happened, he feared that planet

would always be associated with something bad for him. This wodded area suggested another

planet, The wambas planet. Sonny and Corso found themselves in a far more moist climate than

Shiloh. Corso took a deep breath, and also coughed alot. For Sonny, it didn't take long, before a

nasty and sadly, familiar headache struck him. Sonny growled in pain, but was determined to fight

it. He put his hand to his head, to fight it back. A minute or so later, it passed.

Sonny opened his eyes, only to find the crew and Corso looking worried at him.

«Sonny, Are you ok?» asked Corso. «I'm fine Corso, just a small headache due to the climate

change». Corso said nothing, but his gaze told Sonny, that he was watching him for any signs of

problems. They had reached something that looked like a monastery. As they entered, Sonny could

not understand why, but somehow, he felt at peace with himself, a rarity if you lived his life with

the emotional tauma it posed. The supreme leader bid them stop. « Sonny, as you know, after

reading the material you were given on the election, you will have a teacher here, one that will

teach you the ways of the pirate on the top of the organization. Usually, you never know who this

teacher is, but you have met the teacher before». Sonny looked amazed. «But...how?»,

« Quite simply, your rescue group saved him». «The healer?». Supreme leader nodded. «Yes, and

now, it is time for us to reveal who we are. It will be erased from your memory as soon as your

training here is complete,but to keep us from walking around dressed in cloacks and masks all the

time, it is quite hard to breathe in them». With those words, Supreme leader demasked himself.

«The crew of the vanished Black Eagle» whispered Sonny. « Yes, many seem to think our ship is

lost, but in reality, we have stationed ourselves here. Corso will not remember this, but you will, as

the leader of the pirates, it is the kind of knowledge you need to posess to be our leader» said Rick,

who was the captain of the infamous ship. Corso looked at him. «But.. we all saw the ship get

blown up, you got killed». Rick slowly shook his head. «That was a diversion. A model, blown up

to make it seem we were lost to the world. Who told us to do that, I unfortunately can't tell you, it

would not be good for you to know». With those words, Rick led them to a room with two beds.

«It's not much, but this is the one place you will sleep and live during your stay, the teacher is

waiting for you Sonny, whilst my job Corso, is to train you in how to be the best confidante you

can be for Sonny, and help him when he is in need of it». Corso looked at Sonny, «This is where

we part right?» , «Seems so», Sonny placed his hand on Corso's shoulder, just as he walked past

him. «Later Corso, right now, we got things to do» ...

000000000000000000

In another part of the Wambas planet, Aarch, a former player of the great Akillian football team,

who with his teammate Artegor Nexus, had moved on to the Shaddows team.

For a while, that had worked great, but as Artegor learned to harness the smog, it had a different

effekt on Aarch. The smog had gradually started making him sick, and the better and more

aggressively Aarch played, the more sick he got. During a match, Aarch's body couldn't take it any

more, he had been tackled and couldn't get up. Aarch had remained lying on the ground, as the

smog left his body. Artegor had accused him of letting him down, but that wasn't it.

Aarch knew the price for the smog was too high. He couldn't do it anymore. He had left, and

moved to the Wambas planet. A quiet life was what he needed, the wambas planet was where it

could be found. Aarch was recovering slowly from the smog poisoning, the aid of Dame Simbai,

the herbalist student who lived there, the healing process would have been a lot slower.

Aarch had moved outside, to get some air, bedrest was getting old fast. Aarch moved slowly

towards a chair. «Aarch, what are you doing out of bed?» Dame Simbai was maybe a small

woman, but she was more than authorative. «I needed some fresh air, I thought you'd be back

before this», «No, the monastery members had guests today, We don't know much, other than the

fact that the visitors are pirates». «Pirates? I thought they were hiding in the shiloh archipellago?»

, « Oh, they do,but this has to do with the pirates new leader». «The pirates have a new leader? That

just goes to show how secretive they are». «From what I have heard, and it isn't all that much, but

reliable info, the former leader was challenged by one of his trusted men, and lost in battle, he was

exciled, no one knows where, and the new leader of the pirates is here, at the monestary, to be

trained for his new role. I don't know what the training consists in, but I know the teacher.

He knew the pirate that is choosen for this role personally». «Really, what is the new leader of the

pirates like? Worse or better than the last one?». «It's a bit too soon to tell, don't you think Aarch?

We must give him time to find his place first». «What about the teacher set to train him? Did he say

anything?», Dame Simbai smiled « So far, he has never been wrong about his predicitons yet, he says the new leader of the pirates, is a man with a big heart, he is loved by his men, there was the

reason they chose him. I hope he's right». «Why? Is there anything you didn't like about the old

leader?», « Too materialistic, just... a little too weak, and from what I was told, this man is not».

«I wonder who he is, this new leader?», «It will be announced when his training here is complete».

Aarch looked into the woods. «Whoever he is, I hope he can deal with strong men like Sonny

Blackbones, I would have seen him as a candidate for this role», «We will just have to wait and

see» said Dame Simbai thoughtfully, and followed the look of Aarch towards the forrest...

Sonny was sitting in front of an old wodden desk. This felt like a timewarp really. He was used to

rely on computers and modern technology, this was about as far away from that as you could come.

The teacher, whom he knew as the old healer, who had healed his broken ribs after the fight with

Alexi X. It seemed ages ago now, still, it was only a few short months. Sonny had read the

assignment his teacher handed him. «Now Sonny, you will be left alone, to meditate, the right

answer can be many, but to find the best answer, you need to seek in your heart, do you get what

i'm telling you?». Sonny looked at him. There was a glow in his hazels. «I think so..»,

«Don't spend so much time thinking of the answer Sonny, know in your heart, that it's the right

one». The teacher left the room. Sonny stood up, and walked over to a circle that was drawn in the

sand on the floor. He sat down, legs crossed, and placed his arms on his knees. He was breating

slowly, and relaxing, letting go of all everyday troubles, as the teacher had told him. It was just

him, against himself...

000000000000

Meanwhile, Corso was being trained by Rick. If it would be difficult for Sonny to solve the tasks he

was given, it was no easier for Corso. He had to deal with his cynicism, in order to be the

confidante to Sonny, the one Sonny could rely on for support, and advice.

Corso knew how important this was. He was trying his best to be as good as he could on it.

And the tasks was proving difficult. When they met for dinner, Sonny and Corso got to talk to

eachother. « How are you holding up Corso? Are you coping?», « It's more mentally challenging

than I thought it would be» admitted Corso. «How bout you Sonny?», « I got it now, LeRoy only

had to challenge me twice on the subject, before I got what he meant. I'm ok with it now» said

Sonny, as he was starting to eat. It wasn't much, but it was still better than Tin can's cooking.

Wich really didn't take much to beat at all. Sonny asked Corso on the teqniques he was trained in.

Corso told Sonny what he wanted to know, and asked him what he had to go trough, to compare.

It was evident that the crew expected a lot from Sonny, and they pushed him real hard.

When the time came to sleep, Corso and Sonny, pushed the beds close together.

Corso told Sonny to lay down on his stomach, so that he could massage him. Sonny said nothing,

just did as Corso told him. Corso was gentle, and slowly, the stress gave way for a welcomed

relaxed feeling. Corso smiled, Sonny needed to relax, it was cruzial for the continuation.

Corso knew, far more than he would tell his friend, about this, Sonny had progressed a lot further

than expected at this point according to Rick. They expected great things from him, but Corso was

not allowed to tell Sonny this, he had to find out on his own, Corso was just going to lead him on

his way. Corso noticed that Sonny was half asleep. He stoped, and pulled the covers round him.

Then, he went to bed himself...

0000000000000

LeRoy and Rick had gathered the crew. «So, how is our aspiring leader holding up?», « Sonny is

strong, and he's a quick learner. He's done more in one day than his predecessors. I have high hopes

for him, how bout his confidante, Corso?». «Same story, these two really have got an unique bond,

Sonny really didn't have to choose in this case, it was evident that he knew who was coming with

him». LeRoy nodded. «Very Well, then we will up the pressure, I think they are most capable of

handling it»...

0000000000000

Come morning, Corso and Sonny were woken up by Rick. « We got a special assignment that both

of you need to take part in». Sonny and Corso exchanged glances. This could either be very good

or very bad. They both got up and made themselves ready. By the time they were dressed, Rick

handed them each a cloack. « This assignment involves you meeting a herbalist, Dame Simbai.

She is secretly often acting as a double agent for the flux society». « And how is it that you have

come across that kind of information?» asked Sonny. In spite of him knowing that it was

sometimes necessary, Sonny didn't like hacking into secret files to find answers to his questions.

With Technoid, it didn't matter all that much, but the flux society had never done him any wrong,

and Sonny had doubts about this assignment. Rick noticed Sonny's hesitation.

«Now Corso, this is when you get to use what you were tought last night» he said and handed them

the masks they would wear. Rick left, and Sonny and Corso were alone in the room.

« And what was that all about Corso?» Sonny looked at him. Corso sighed, and told him what he

had been asked to do. Sonny listened attentively, and then he nodded.

They put the cloacks on and joined the crew. LeRoy was waiting for them. «I suppose you both

wonder what this assignment is about?» Neither Corso nor Sonny said anything, just nodded.

It was amazing to see them like this. LeRoy told them of the ship Black Eagle, and the story behind

things. Sometimes, they needed equippment from the ship, but could not go there without Dame

simbai's help. This, was one of those times. There was something onboard that was to be given to

the new pirate leader, and he had to get a piece of that technology with him as he left.

Sonny and Corso agreed to this, and after a quick meal, they left for the village...

000000000000

Dame Simbai looked at the members of the mysterious monestery of the wambas planet.

It was the full team, wearing masks, and two other members she had not seen before. The new

pirate leader and his confidante for sure. She had tried to talk to them, to determine who she should

tell the master of the flux society to be on the lookout for. Both of them wore masks, and when they

spoke, it was a language she didn't know. Their identities were impossible to make out.

She had tried to speak to the tallest one, who had replied, but his voice had been scrambled, so she

would not be able to tell who he was. Dame Simbai was curious as to who they where.

«Who are you?» she asked the tall one. She had a feeling that his eyes were concidering telling her

what she wanted to know, but she could never be sure. « I am the soon to be leader of the pirates,

but my identity remains a secret untill supreme leader and my teacher says otherwise.

Please Dame, I ask you, do not ask me this again». Dame Simbai had backed of the subject.

His confidante was at his side, as they made their way to the ship. She hoped that whoever hid

behind the mask of the tall pirate, was a man of honor and heart...

000000000000000000

Clamp was at the site of the old wrecked pirate ship, who he learned had been named Black Eagle.

Sometimes, he truly felt like a scavenger for doing this, but the only way to find parts for his

machines, he had to go here. The wambas really weren't into technical stuff. Clamp didn't know

why he was either. He remembered nothing of his life before the great catastophy on Akillian.

He had wandered around, technically, he was employed by Technoid, but he had not heard from his

contact, general Bleylock, in a long time. It seemed the company had forgotten all about him, and

Clamp was now free to do as he pleased. He carefully moved into the wreck, there was some parts

that really got him excited in the nose of the ship. All of a sudden, he heard voices.

The crew of the ship was here. They would come from time to time, but Clamp found it best not to

be seen. The crew went on board, and spread out, all but two of them. One of them, the tallest one,

removed his cloak. Clamp gasped. It was clear that these two were pirates, but not just any pirates.

He had seen the tall blonde man, that squatted down beside a crate, and took a belt with the pirates

emblem embedded on it. He was by no means just any pirate. It was the wanted pirate, Sonny

Blackbones in person, who seemed lost in deep thought. Clamp couldn't understand it, but it felt

like somehow, he knew him, from some other place. But how could that be? A few minutes later,

The crew and the pirates left, after Sonny had put on his cloack and mask again.

Clamp returned to his task of gathering parts for his machines...

000000000000000000

Sonny and Corso proved to be exceptional learners, and by the end of the week, they were ready to

return to Shiloh. LeRoy spoke to Sonny during their last meeting. It was evident that the pirates had

chosen the right man to be their leader. LeRoy had never told anyone of his predicitons for the

future. As he saw the pirates be led away, to head home, he knew Sonny would fill his role, and

make the organization prosper. Rather than gathering wealth, Sonny had new perspectives on the

direction the pirates needed to go. He was aware of the losses many of his men and people living

on shiloh suffered from, and he wanted justice for them, if they could not have their loved ones

back, he would seek the truth of their destiny, in other cases, he would free them and bring them

home. Sonny seemed secure in himself now, he was ready. LeRoy sent them off with a smile...

000000000000000000

Bennet was just done with the paperwork, as the door opened. «You get yourself a break Bennet,

and I'll take over». «Sonny! Corso! You're back». Corso smiled. «Missed us Bennet?», « It's been

something missing while you were gone.». Sonny nodded. « Bennet, tell the men that the branding

ceremony takes place tonight». «This soon?» , «Why wait?». «True Sonny, better get it all

overwith». Sonny headed to his cabin, and lay down to get some much needed rest...

000000000000000000

The crew was ready at the ceremonial ground. Sonny arrived with his team of three, and a fourth

member would be chosen by the crew, to aid in the process. Sonny was dressed in a cloack, and

Corso carried the outfit he'd have to wear untill the wonds this would inflict, had healed.

Sonny walked up to the bench that would be used, and Corso calmly removed his cloack and the

black sweater he wore underneath. Bennet and Artie carefully placed him on the bench and

strapped his legs down. Then , they took hold of his arms. LeRoy and Klerko walked forth and

gave extra support behind them. A member of the crew, wearing a hood, took the redhot branding

iron, and walked towards Sonny. Corso was posissioned in front of Sonny, his job was to talk

Sonny through the pain, and help him maintain focus. Corso focused on Sonny. He seemed to

breathe in a special way, obviously one he had been tought by his teacher. Where they had been,

none of them could remember. The crew had erased that part of their memory. Corso locked eyes

with Sonny, he would need his help now. There was a hissing sound when the branding iron hit the

flesh on Sonny's back. Sonny jolted from the pain, it was bruning. Then, he couldn't hold back an

immense scream of pain. «Sonny, look at me, look at me Sonny Blackbones!», Corso had a strong

commanding tone in his voice. Sonny somehow managed to focus. «Now, breathe calm and slowly,

imagine someplace you feel good about being, feel safe, then free yourself of this pain», Corso's

voice had an hypnotic effect. Sonny felt like he was pulled loose from his own body, and floating

freely in the air. Corso stayed with him through it all, and Sonny did not even notice that Bennet

cleaned the wounds and bandaged him. Corso came with a syringe. «Here Sonny, this should ease

the burn a bit» he said, and set the injection in Sonny's arm. Sonny relaxed himself, and a short

while later, he felt the burning pain was dozed. « Bennet, Artie, Corso, come with me, we got an

announcement to make» His team followed behind him, and they took to the commandcentral...

0000000000000000000

Duke Maddox sat in his office, like many others, and ground teeth that the pirates had escaped him.

Sonny Blackbones knew something he was not telling, and he wanted to know what that was.

He turned on the holo tv, and almost chocked on his coffe, when Calleigh was putting on an

announcement broadcast from Shiloh. On screen, appeared Sonny's close friend, Corso.

«Greetings. Recently, there has been held a secret election among the pirates. Former leader,

Magnus Blade, has at this point left us, and his current whereabouts are not known. But, the pirates

have chosen a new leader, who will appear here tonight, and promise, on live screen, to keep up the

work we started and better our organization». With these words, the cameras were aimed at Sonny,

who was masked, it was impossible to make out who he was. LeRoy stood next to him, and had

him recite the oath that all pirate laders were made to tell. When this was done, Sonny removed his

mask. « My name is Sonny Blackbones. I am wanted by Technoid for many things, and now, I will

add one more reason for them to chase me to the list. As of today, I am no longer Sonny

Blackbones the pirate, I am Sonny Blackbones, the leader of the pirates»...

end of chapter 21. Now, Dame Simbai, Aarch and Clamp start to enter the story. We are

nearing season one here, and it will have focus on the things we didn't see or hear in this

you like what you read so far.
