Our heroes once again find themselves at the wrong end of a Shrouded Bane ambush, this time playing hot potato with a thermal detonator. Jensa is confident the fallen soldiers they are intervening to save is the Rebel team she saw in her Force Vision. Unexpected arrivals mid-battle make the situation far more complicated, but Viktor thinks quick on his feet and new allies are made. A disturbing revelation, however, suggests greater powers are in motion and time might be running out on this quiet little desert moon.
