Every decision brings consequences. Any decent historian knows intentions matter little. Rose meant to save helpless children, a worthy goal. She knew the risks, but that didn't stop her. Now she had to face the consequences, and so did everyone else. We'd paid a hefty price already, but the debt hadn't yet been reimbursed.
The mysterious cyborg had enough. Determined to capture Rose, he kidnaps children, offering to exchange their lives for the winged prophet's surrender. Though Rose wishes to comply, Daniel Ricdeau, her adoptive father, and NISDA's commander, won't let her.
In desperation, Rose tries a deadly gambit. The results are disastrous. She ends up putting not only herself in danger, but countless innocents. Daniel must now mount a rescue operation, well aware that failure implies losing both Nirnivia's holy prophet and his daughter.
In the middle of it all, James is seething with rage. Rose's apparent betrayal left him reeling, and he doesn't care whether she survives. At least, that's how he feels on the surface. Deep down, he wonders if he'll ever learn the truth behind Rose's actions.
Will the Cyborg capture Rose? Will she even survive? If so, at what cost? What will happen to James now that he can't count on his only protector? Regardless of the answers, the cyborg's attack will leave its mark.
