Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a scattered collection of mutated wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.

Summary
The first thing Epsilon opens is Wash's personnel file. Most of it is information that Epsilon can remember from Alpha, who'd been given access to every Freelancer's file. Epsilon scans it quickly, in case there's information in there that they had hidden from Alpha and doesn't miss the large gap in Washington's service history immediately following Epsilon's implantation.
That should have been his first hint that something was deeply and terribly wrong.
Epsilon realizes that something isn't adding up about what he remembers from his and Washington's time together, and goes to dig for the answers.
