I totally agree, I just thought it might add a twist. You might end up with the Imps blockading the station, and the Feds+ independents trying to break the blockade. It's just the way I'd take the story. It might not be her in the pod, but the implication is there, and the shadow forces cannot take a chance.
(Since we learned nothing we didn't already know before the 29th event, it's all a bit "meh" at the moment.)
We can always go back to hauling bio-waste in and out of eravate and ignore any attempts at a back story.
I'll give you a bit on an insight into where this is going on my side, I've been contacted by a few self proclaimed authors, and now currently looking at their work, some of it is pretty sophisticated.
I think ultimately the choice will be unavoidable, we will make a poll and let the community decide (as they have been promised to all along) if Harry killed Salome, or she was rescued by Yuri.
After the decision, if community decides death - we will officially concede that it is now set in stone, and part our separate ways.
However, if she is deemed to be alive at the hands of Yuri, we will contact Drew and forfeit our rights to this story line to him.
If he refuses, we will emancipate Kahina Loren, and the authors will start writing a pilot with Yuri Nakamura as the main protagonist, and Kahina Loren being a support character.
Harry Potter will be credited to pulling the trigger on the ship, no one can take that away from him, which is only fair.
If the plot ultimately is sophisticated enough , we will present it to the community, and vote if people want it to be cannon or at least a branching in the timeline into an alternative universe.
If more vote yes than now, and show interest in reading the rest, we will definitely not try to force it or crowbar it, and will only proceed if it flows smooth and resonates with the community, if so we will probably either set up a kick starter, or I'll gather some funds myself, it's not
that hard to publish the book, content is key.
