This is perhaps one of the most interactive chapters in the novel. I tried hard to get all the STRATOS members involved, imagining how each scenario would play out to produce the best overall effect. There's quite a bit of trimming and adjusting in the sequence of each happening, and interjecting some humor, wherever possible.
Here's the breakdown of the chapter:
1. A short introduction to allow David leave of absence as HAVAH takes center stage.
2. Shadow and Panther at the sparring arena with Wolf as the observer.
3. Stalker at the Armament Laboratory in conversation with the weapon scientist, Dr. Harrison over Viper's demise.
4. Olivia and Hawk at the indoor rock climbing facility of the Omega Base, with a little incidence.
5. The above mishap provided an occasion for an intriguing conversation between HAVAH and Olivia.
6. Stalker, Shadow and Panther chilling out at the STRATOS' private lounge when an anomaly caused Shadow to freak out and triggered Panther to leave abruptly.
7. Panther reminisced his painful past and his regret over Viper's death. HAVAH helped him find closure.
8. HAVAH taking stock and summing up her subjective experiences.
I have intentionally left out the details in order not to spoil the reading enjoyment. It took me quite some time and effort to orchestrate the snippets mentioned and I'm not going to let them go to waste.
Hopefully, readers will anticipate and look forward to this chapter.
