Synopsis

What happens in the wake of Failure Mode? The Aftermath of a stunning victory--especially an unexpected, complete and final victory--should be high-fives all around, listening to politicians give boring congratulatory speeches, and a well-deserved rest for the Merry Band of Pirates. Yes, the galaxy is still a freakin' mess but that is nothing new, and for a change, that can be someone else's problem. Until, you know, something really bad happens, and only the Pirates can deal with the problem...Or not.
