This is an odd sort of chapter, because it's mostly setup. There's nearly 7k here, but the verbiage is concerning where nearly everyone is, what they know (or believe they do), and something of what they're planning to do next. The pieces are scattered all over the game board, and now they have to get moving.
Which means they're getting into locations from which they can directly attack each other.
You might suspect we're on the verge of hitting some action sequences...
The next thing posted should be an update on Anchor Foal. We'll see how the month closes out from there.
