Introduction to Volume II

Volume II shall ever remain a bizarre, accidental mystery. You see, none of this was supposed to happen. The first poll of Volume II asked the readers if we should move on to Bespin, or perhaps be delayed on our trip for various reasons.

The delay of picking up a new shipmate was chosen, and somehow a little stop at the Rusted Spark for equipment turned into a merry chase through multiple cities.

The crew added one sour-dispositioned mechanic, we learned Remora’s looming fate, and laughed at her abysmal cooking skills.

Then? Then Remora had to go and get herself kidnapped, the story acquires the enigmatic Snow, and we finish this beefier Volume no closer to Bespin than we began!

I don’t regret a moment of it, though. Not one single syllable.

As the second half of the volume followed Remora and Jinn, an entire story arc was added to the end so that the readers could join Hank, Bones, and Hackwrench on their adventures.

A poisoning, a secret, muffins, kidnapping, and a high-stakes race.

Not too bad for a plot arc that wasn’t even supposed to happen, what do you think?
