While some are threatened by these forces, others formulate their agendas and ambitions for how to take advantage of the crisis. After the burning of the white flags of détente, the conflict reaches a point of no return. The Final Chapter in The Color of Houm series: Skies of Gray.
The planet Houm finds itself facing the forces of the planet once more. During the previous age of ash, the Nest Corporation had come across the system and became the conservator of its people. After facing and settling the unrest in Houmil and in the lunar city of Akresh, the Corporation pivots to serving the native population in their time of need.
The show of force by the locals of Hrrent shoved off the corporate hold over the city. With it came the city’s vital infrastructure, putting a target on those leading the revolt. The ousted Security official, Corbin Skye, allies himself with the enigmatic Niyas, a forerunner of the Sanguine Tears. With the experience of both men to guide them forward, they vow to employ all of their resources to seek out further debasement of the corporation.
The Council of Houm, made up of the territorial leaders of the planet, find themselves once more at Nest’s doorstep. Facing the volcanic fallout upon their people, they are forced to negotiate with each other and the corporate powers in an attempt to contain the situation at hand. Zelda Pashek, governor of the territory bordering the volcanic barrens, finds herself stuck between helping her people and concealing the connection to her nefarious allies.
Orbiting the planet in Nest’s flagship, Veema Binnek takes the stage to speak out against the Sanguine Tears in Nest’s official news broadcasts. In exchange for speaking these words, she is promised the safety of the child still growing inside her. As questionable information spreads across the system, Veema’s old allies down in Akresh realize that the power of propaganda is also within their grasp. It is only a matter of time before it takes hold and those across Kaydal demand for the truth to come out.
