Octavia Colossale — Michael Mounts

Closing the deal is never simple, and bringing a better deal can be deadly. After recuperation from the last mission things just seamlessly lead into the next. Major Octavia and her Soldier Girls are off to a whole new world, just for some reconnaissance. When things get strange, no one in charge balks at the strangeness. This is when infiltration somehow morphs into movie making. It was all supposed to be just a quiet look around. Then it all leads to battleships shooting, and careers ending. A Princess needs rescue, and a movie producer needs a leading lady. Eventually all guns are drawn, and the past coughs up familiar strangers. By the end though, Major Octavia and her crew, they get things done, and people have the bruises to show for it. They've never had an adventure like this, and everyone gets to participate. Major Octavia and the Soldier Girls get lost in a strange city, and negotiate stranger deals in the outer provinces.
