Coming in 2nd, the Preon Accumulator, crafted by Technician Neil Hasting of Earth. Neil comments, ’I’m proud of what I submitted, but these fancy Europans put up a good fight, using [REDACTED] tech? How did she even find that? Her cross-weapon sync theory demands respect. See you next year for a rematch, Maggie.’
The coup still fresh on Europa’s mind, the new acting government confronts her controversial work on the Crowdfunder, a tool of suppression used by the old monarchy. M. Louis replies to critics, ’I take responsibility for the abuse of my invention, I ask that you evaluate my work going forward by how it can help us prevent this kind of tragedy.’"
