XHarvey: He's lost his nerve. I suppose I should have seen it coming -- someone of that upbringing isn't trained to see the long term, only what he's losing right now. I've of two minds about letting him speak to those lawyers.
Zia: Better him than Roger Maren.
Harvey: He's becoming a loose end.
Zia: A loose end with a trump card, so wipe that look off your face -- your usual methods are out of the question. Thank god.
Harvey: Sometimes I wonder about your commitment, Zia.
Zia: Spare me your second-string gangster act. Sam's not the only one who likes a little insurance. I know enough to enough to hang you from the spaceport tower, and believe me, the day anything happens to me will be your hanging day.
Harvey: There's no trust in the world any more.
Zia: You recruited the dissaffected and unappreciated, Harvey. The people who'd been left holding an empty bag one too many times. Don't be so surprised that we can smell a screw job coming.
Harvey: And I've given all of you so much! Yet when I ask you for one little thing --
Zia: Don't start.
Harvey: ... it's time for everyone to lean in, Zia. Like it or not. As the wise man said, if we don't hang together... we shall assuredly hang separately.
Sandy: Bonjour, Sam Hampton. I hope you don't mind me droppin' in.
Zia: Better him than Roger Maren.
Harvey: He's becoming a loose end.

When last we saw.... Harvey - Zia - Sam

Minnie Pursling needs to become a woman no one thinks about. If only the Duke of Clermont wasn’t tempting her be all the things she cannot safely be -- brilliant, dazzling Minerva Lane….

I introduced this lady once, but I can't remember if it was filler or just a vote incentive? So triple cookies if you actually recognize her. To the non-terrifying memory members of my audience: yes, she's new; yes, you'll be getting more details soon. :)
Spiderforest's Comics of the Week spotlight continues! First up this week: LaSalle's Legacy!
Jonathan LaSalle wants, more than anything, to live up to his father's memory... and if that means taking to the Thirteen Seas with little more than a green crew and hope, that's what he'll do. But following in his father's footsteps means learning about the unsavory parts of his inheritance -- like his disreputable half-brother. And his father's enemies. Even the dead ones...
LaSalle's Legacy is a swashbuckling tale of necromancy, magic, and the high seas. It's a fun comic full of quirky characters, derring-do, and yes, pirates. Go! Read!
Next up: Soul's Journey!
When Prince Anrak ran away from home, he thought he was escaping the burdens of his position -- like the expectations of his people and an unwanted political marriage. But he never meant to go so far. He never meant to be helpless, trapped in a wolf's body, watching as the consequences of his actions spiral his country into war....
A classic coming-of-age story with some innovative twists and a nicely balanced cast of characters. Go! Read!
