I have somewhat painted myself into a corner with my last story.
Sure, everyone is back. Keram is racing to return to Anoikis to see whether Alira is ok, Cedrien is doing his political games with Arclight alliance, Alira and Sylera have recovered from their coma and found that they are bonded by the experience, Shisei is catching up with his old friends in Caldari State.
The problem is, I had Sandrielle be returned to her old home: The Hive.
Nobody ever escapes from The Hive. They can not be bargained or reasoned with. They are the ultimately dedicated fanatics. Hell, Sansha Kuvakei looks nice in comparison to those guys.
So, apart from writing a character off or coming up with some extremely unrealistic deus ex machina, I have no idea how I could get Sandrielle out of that clinch.
So while I make up my mind and find some way for this situation to resolve itself, I am taking a break from the current narrative to deal a bit with the past.
Since we are on the subject, it's going to be Sandrielle's past.
The one that had always been shrouded in mystery.
Where does she come from. What happened between her and The Hive? How did she escape? Where did she get all that sophisticated martial arts training and her abilities to manipulate people?
Those are questions which never got answered so far, and I thought it would be fun to go down that road for a while.
So, there I go, shedding some light on to that character's history.
I hope you enjoy it.
