It was in the Hyades Cluster that everything changed. We’d spent months building up the fleets at Serenity. Building up the Cowboys. Integrating new ones. Retraining old ones. Total brush up to deal with what we were going to see when we broke into the Hyades. That was when those old AIs changed everything again. They had volunteered to fight the Shang as well, you see. And when the Cybernetic Council started showing up at Serenity with Privateers to support the Cowboys, my ship had some unique volunteers. I had built them up to be Big Damn Heroes, doncha know? Talk about my actions having consequences. That was one consequence I never saw coming.
