The Coin That Rules the Dead World - Episode 11

Branch B-09's commander, Chief Wilder, defies concern over Lord Aldric and orders a transport to restock at their benefactor, Mr. Lowe, to test whether Aldric will interfere. The transport team departs under protest, determined to push through even by force. En route, scouts report the target area is suffering extreme heat: the convoy cannot approach, electronics are failing, and vehicles are literally melting. The team is caught off guard and radios up: "Requesting instructions." The episode ends with the mission stalled and command forced to choose a dangerous response as vehicles degrade.
