Soleil From The Moon — Episode 19

Pulsar hijacked the phone's operating system The screen is locked, the biometrics are overriden, but the flash memory on the motherboard is intact If I can get into the AV server room, I can rip the casing off the phone and hardwire the motherboard directly into the school's mainframe I use the school's computers to bypass the phone entirely, extract the kill code, and base it to Orbit Actual using the school's fiber-opted relay It's damals lanked it to Orbit Actual using in the school's fiber opti-ray That solves the payload But what about the delivery system? The halls are crawling with Darksider zealots, and your mother is still in the gym That's why we give them a distraction they can't ignore We don't go to the gym, we draw Pulsar outside He wants you to surrender, but what if you don't? What if you challenge him? A right of supremacy?

Earth dwellers also have that? A what? It's an ancient lunar law, one-on-one duel If a member of a noble family challenges another, they are honor-bound to accept If Pulsar refuses, he loses the respect of every zealot under his command His entire coup relies on his image of absolute power But more importantly, he'll accept it because he is arrogant He trained me, Nash He knows my every move He won't be able to resist the chance to publicly execute the last royal Maybe this is not a good idea then By tradition, a right of supremacy requires an audience and absolutely no interference He'll order his entire strike team out of the school and into the courtyard to watch Your mother will be safe until the duel is done, and the hallways will be clear If you do this, you're going to be out there alone against a commander you just admitted will probably kill you I won't be alone I'll have the ghosts of my father and grandfather watching, and I'll have you finishing the mission Besides, I'm Substar Soleil I think it's time my old mentor saw exactly what that means I'll be fast, Princess I promise You better be, or I'm haunting your school courtyard for the rest of your life! Soleil, wait!

Before you go, there's something I've gotta do
