With The Wild Hunt's successful mission to Stockton, bringing several key personnel from Altair Complex in Iota, together with much-needed supplies for the base, the people aboard can only gaze towards the Nomad City and ponder the keys it holds. That, however, will have to wait for another time, as the recent spike in Molly activity around Bretonia and the increasing trade between the Crayter Republic and the Kingdom make way for a perfect cover story to create a diversion that will, hopefully, distract whatever quick response forces there are to the engagement zone in an attempt to "test the waters".

Scrambling to link up with the next Molly raid from Mull onto these shipping convoys, The Wild dispatches most of its only remaining civilian ships aboard Stockton for a mission that will make or break any grand plans until the Northern Fleet remnants return to roam the Omegas in force.
