The Awkward Screw

Meanwhile on the Wishbone Part 4

As Helount continues his recollection of Marrk’s rescue from the Ninpar gang and ultimate decision to join the crew of the Screw, the spirit entity resembling Anju is pushing him to look even further into his past. Helount must accept responsibility for his actions before he can move forward on his path to becoming a Wielder of the Stone...

Meanwhile on the Wishbone Part 3

There is a sense of dread in the space occupied by Helount as Anju’s spirit begins pushing him to answer for his desire to become one with the Stone, even if it means aiding the Palm Bay Pirates in their schemes. As if to demonstrate the selfishness now in Helount’s heart, they continue to dig into the past and discuss their rescue of Marrk from the Ninpar Gang and the selflessness and trust they all demonstrated that day...

Meanwhile on the Wishbone Part 2

Helount is more interested in reliving the past than accepting his current state and continues his conversation with what he believes is Anju’s spirit. Talking about the initial meeting and recruitment of Tony and how they had to escape a Mercenary Guild blockade around the space station where Tony was working as a Port Pilot, it’s only a matter of time before Helount has to accept responsibility for his actions...

He has no idea what forces are at work and how far they’ll push him to get what they want...
