This took way longer than expected as the whole part needed reworking, but now it works both better on its own and adds far more to the main story. I added several new character I hope people will like, and a side plot. So lots more action, far more humor. Some of this was hard to balance, but I’ll blame most of the delay on being called up by the National Guard once again. Hopefully part 3 will go much much faster.
Part 1 is here:

Also here is some art my brother made of one of the characters:
