Some might call her reckless, Rei would disagree.

Rei has emerged from their most recent encounter with the Riaten caches more battered than she's ever been. Life on the Kathya goes on, but where there's good byes, there's also new faces that come on board. As the crew works to keep ahead of the growing war between the Federation and the rebels, Rei gets word of some new intel that just might give them the edge they need, but at what cost?
