The Final Sanction

Siege was the fourth and final serial of the third season of Category War.

## Synopsis

"I am the Master, and you will obey me!"

While leaving the Antarra Supernova Remnant, the Resistance discovers a mysterious crystal ball that seems to tell the future.

This future is that, very soon, they will all die in the destruction of their main base - RCARS.

The end of the war seems destined, but can the Resistance escape fate - or has the Siege of RCARS already ended in Alliance victory? And is there someone manipulating events behind the scenes?

The events that give the answers to this will change everything in the war - and not everyone will make it out alive.

## Plot

### The Probable Future (1)

Shortly after leaving the Nova Six compound, three Resistance members - Ankarstian and two technicians named Storler and Klube plug a device that resembles a huge crystal ball into a huge computer keyboard. The device fills with a sort of reddish smog which clears, revealing a view of the Resistance base RCARS from space

* A plot point about Poseidon being possessed by the Pillar Lord was dropped
* The Master was initially going to have been disguised as Ankarstian, however, this was changed to having the Master be a janitor.
