	A thinspace portal opened, so the party went in to investigate it. On the other side, they found a former SSC-affiliated pilot named REBOUND, who needed help getting a local town on their feet again after it was ransacked by bandits. Upon entering the town, it seemed as though none of the people there recognized the party's mechs as mechs, but as suits of samurai armor. Whenever the individual pilots ejected from their mechs, the mechs turned into lifeless suits of the same armor. After a week of gardening, training villagers, and other various helpful tasks to get the town prepared, the bandits came again and the party killed all of them. The portal reopened, and REBOUND was recruited to the SILVER LINING.		A thinspace portal opened, so the party went in to investigate it.

	The SILVER LINING was invited to the Thinspace of one Martín Hidalgo, an expert in Thinspace research and inventor of the HORUS Revenant, a mech used commonly in the hostile takeover of Nervión. When they arrived, they had a brief discussion with Martín before being sent into combat in a mental reconstruction of Hercynia during the Second Hercynian Crisis. They fought REGRET, a HA Enkidu from the TBK era of SecComm piloted by a cascading LUCIFER-Class NHP, in a crowded city street where they had to ensure no buildings fell. Sure enough, the party was able to ensure no buildings fell and Martín surrendered himself to capture.

			The crew of the SILVER LINING discovered a Thinspace portal that was opened. It led to a high-class ball full of Howlers, one of which being Retriever's former master who was killed by Simon Dominguez. This same master gave the party, notably Number 16, the locations of four other POSEIDON VAULTS. He also took them upstairs to the creator of the Thinspace, a SVEJK-Class NHP and Howler. This SVEJK revealed that all the Howlers, downstairs and upstairs, were effectively corpses reanimated by their markings and Thinspace. This was later displayed by the SVEJK ripping off the head of the master by his stitches. The party then killed the SVEJK and the Thinspace collapsed while they escaped.

	There was interference on a nearby moon to the planet Puriq. A group was sent there under the payroll of Simon Dominguez, handled by Dominic Suarez. This moon was not a moon, but a research satellite for something called the POSEIDON VAULTS. There was also an incredibly advanced Legionnaire on this moon, one that could seemingly take nearby NHPs and use them as its consciousness, albeit briefly. This mission culminated in the complete and total destruction of this satellite, which prompted Simon Dominguez to enlist a crew to board his personal ship, the [[SILVER LINING]].

			Much has happened since then. The Silver Lining has expanded its numbers, enlisting the likes of GALILEO, REBOUND and LA MANCHA after some difficulty. Thinspace portals continue opening up around the various star systems, but with an expert aboard the ship, the SILVER LINING is in a much better position to take them on.

  ''You might just learn something” - Remo Drive, Blue Ribbon''
 There was high Howler presence on a certain planet. Goal is simple: kill Howlers, gather information from the wrecks. And boy, oh boy, did the party do exactly that. The only thing truly of note from this mission is the information gathered regarding the POSEIDON VAULTS, more importantly how there seems to be... more than one. While it's unclear if there are multiple instances of TYPHON PRIME, there are at the very least, multiple POSEIDON VAULTS. One of them seems to be the central vault that sealed TYPHON PRIME several hundred years ago, but more have been made since, such as one of Puriq's moons that seemingly appeared and was destroyed.
