The story so far: The Southlands card-wielders are about to converge in Caratopolis. Rae, apparently sabotaged by her own employer and forced to abandon the Excalibur Intelligence Agency briefcase she originally stole for her latest job, arrives back at her home city. Ruff, wanting to investigate the briefcase for himself but giving up after Rae made off with it, recognizes Rae in an advertisement for Caratopolis Casino and leaves to intercept her. Meanwhile, Ace and Vana hit the road after Vana’s contact claims that the people responsible for Mouse’s capture will rendezvous in the city’s financial district. But escaping from Cora Zone will not be so simple…
Not today, death!
