**Array 2781 starts immediately after Hestia 2781**.
Drago continues to strive to appear to be the perfect Military officer and to keep Jaxon under control, all while learning even more about his family and saving the Earth Europe Solar Array from sabotage.

## Array 2781 Summary

Drago has now learned the truth of how Jaxon throwing a fit about moving to Earth had caused a delay in their mother joining Jarra there and in loosing custody of her. He is alternating between feeling sorry for Jaxon and in wanting to murder him for all of the problems he caused not only for his family but for the entire clan. As a result he views a lot of the Hospital Earth information vid that are obviously propaganda.

Jaxon reveals to Drago a lot of information that he has learned over the years about Hospital Earth and even some unedited vids that he had acquired.

Drago had hopes of visiting Mexico where the settlers on Nagual originally came from, but because of security he has been denied the opportunity.
Since military command is concerned about one of the newsies interviewing Jaxon about Hera and the events at off-world Adonis, both he and Drago are limited about where they can portal to. Jaxon's compulsion to search for Jarra while they are on Earth has created enhanced security around their accommodations, too. Drago has to work hard to convince Jaxon that he is not being unreasonably paranoid about newsies showing up and asking Jaxon questions and to convince him that if that happens Jaxon has to not answer anything at all, just contact their security. Drago feels that he was only partially convincing so continues to keep an eye on Jaxon.

Drago learns that while Gemelle was on leave she was going to report to clan council that she had to tell him the truth about Jarra. This resulted in his father being furious with Jaxon and once again planning on trying to have him thrown out of the clan for the fifth time. Drago knew that he had to prevent that because it would cause a media back lash and ruin General Marshal Emeritus Cara Wade's plans for the "Gold list" meeting.

When Drago and Dragon finally talk, Dragon had calmed down enough to listen to Drago and Drago was able to use Dragon's own augments against him and convince him that by discarding Jaxon would put the clan into more danger then doing nothing until Jarra has a chance to voice her opinion and preferences. Drago feels that this is the first time his father has ever listened to him and treated him like an adult.

### Patia and Trisha

When Drago was promoted to Deputy Team Leader he also took over the Silver wing which Patia and Trisha were the other two pilots in the wing. The previous deputy had moved them both to her wing so that she could work on resolving their issues with each other, but she was promoted and left the team before she resolved their conflicts, so Drago inherited the problem. Patia and Trisha are constantly fighting with each other, it started out as a straight up personality conflict but it has grown into a lot of issues. They are professional though so their conflicts are usually reserved to off-duty hours.

When Drago suggests that either Patia or Trisha move to the vacant spot on Yellow team, he is surprised and dismayed by their reaction.

### Cordelia Tell Gavanth

Colonel Cordelia Tell Gavanth, assigned to the Adonis Military base, commanding their emergency response force, is a distant cousin of both Drago and Jaxon. She is around the same age as Drago's father, and has never married. She is petty, bitter, annoying and pesters Jaxon and Drago to attend a dinner party she is hosting so that she can show off the "Heroes of Hera". Both Jaxon and Drago have refused but she continues to pester them.

When emergency response is called in to rescue Drago after he crashes his plane to divert the supplies that were sent to the wrong coordinates and to prevent them from hitting the solar array, Colonel Tell Gavanth is flying one of the rescue planes. When the request for help is cancelled she insists on continuing on to remove Drago from his plane and take him back to Adonis to attend her dinner party. Drago has to get very forceful with her to get her to leave him alone and to return to Adonis base without him. He had to threatened her complaints to both the military and Clan Council before she finally gave up and left him to return to Adonis base.

### Earth Europe Solar Array

While working on the European Solar Array he realizes that he has some lingering fears left over from being in space after his plane ejected him before flying into the comet core at Hera. He works on dealing with that fear while learning to "Free Fly" in space.

Drago's liaison officer, Captain Betha Ferguson has been offered the position of Deputy Chief Technician, but once the refurbishing is finished she first has to go to Academy to train as Chief Technician which is a one year course. Betha isn't sure that she wants to take the position because it would mean that she is away from Earth for a year and she had a horrible time when she did her initial two year solar array training. She is also one of only six qualified "Free Flyers" on their shift so has to help move the solar panels from the plane to the array wing. When the solar array output reached the critical 70% output they halted all repair work for 24 hrs to allow for home power units to be recharged. Betha told Drago that he was free to leave but instead he wanted to look at the solar away wings that they had repaired from the observation area.
When Betha asks Drago if she can talk with him about something personal, Drago who was planning on asking her if she was interested in starting a relationship with him, let her go first. When Betha started asking him about Triad marriages, Drago quickly realized that she was talking about two of her co-workers, Ethan, Laird and herself.
When it was Drago's turn to talk, instead of suggesting a relationship between the two of them, he asked her if he could learn to "Free-Fly". Since they weren't working that shift, she suggested that they start his training right away. Drago also said that he would bring his portable flight simulator up and while they were taking a short break after work and before his training, he would teach her how to fly a plane. Then when she goes to Academy for the year of training she could also finish her pilot's training. Betha is skeptical but it turns out that she is a natural.

Both Colonel Ngobi and Major Steadman have been trying to talk with General Amundsen the commander of Alpha Sector Solar array's about the problems with not getting supplies to fix the array's and the need for the pilots to get their dark planes, but their messages have gone unanswered.

Finally, Major Steadman was able to arrange for a large shipment of supplies to repair a hole in one of the wings, be sent to the Europe Solar Array. This shipment was ejected through a drop portal to a specific set of coordinates in space. Drago's job was to intercept the shipment to halt it's momentum and the free-flyers would dismantle the package and deliver the supplies to where they are needed.

When the time arrived, the shipment was sent to the wrong coordinates and were on a trajectory to crash into the solar array wing 9, next to where the spider teams were already working to prepare for the new struts and backboards. If the supplies crashed into it it would not only cause major repair damage but kill all of the people working on wing 8. There wasn't enough time for them to get back inside the command center.

Drago's only recourse was to ram the cargo and divert it from it's current course, before doing that he had the free-flyers abandon his ship in a safe spot, not only to keep them from injury but to lighten his load so that he could gain more speed to be able to get into position in time. Just before Betha left the plane she gave Drago some advice:

After Drago's successful intercept and diverting the shipment, he was picked up and returned to the command center for medical treatment. Because it had only be a few weeks since his internal injuries at Adonis off-world, Dr Mistry calls in Dr. Mandanna for consultation. Dr. Mandanna was very unhappy with Drago concerning his new injuries.

Once his check up and preliminary treatment is finished, he joins a meeting that Colonel Ngobi is holding with all of the Chef Technicians and few other interested parties, including Major Steadman and Jaxson.

Once the general meeting was over with, Colonel Ngobi held a meeting with just Jaxon, Drago and Steadman to discuss tactics fro stopping the sabotage that they are experiencing. Since they now believe that General Amundsen is involved or at least enabling that saboteurs.
Colonel Ngobi decides that he has to jump his chain-of-command and they work out who that would be. Steadman mentions that it would be General Renton Mai. Ngobi makes a call and attempts to get on his schedule but the General's gatekeeper can't get him a slot for a conference for at least four days. After Ngobi makes the appointment, Drago suggests that he might be able to make a call to General Mai. It is decided that Drago would try but he thought he should be alone when he makes it.

Drago is once again put through to General Mai where he was holding a live link meeting with Commander Leveque. He briefs them on everything that has been happening with Earth's Solar array's. General Mai is concerned and assigns the investigation to Leveque.

Commander Leveque's investigation cleared General Amundsen of being actively involved in the Sabotage and arrested all of the other involved parties. He updated Drago, Jaxon and Steadman of the results. (*See also Illegal Portal*).

### Captain Valene Tormen Colucchi

Drago's Yellow Team Leader, Captain Brandon Lin Milan, is also from Beta Sector and has arranged for an introductory service to find suitable women for him as he is looking to get married. He rejects the first fourteen, but when he receives Valene Tormen Colucci's picture he decides to call her to arrange a date. There first date ends in disaster when Valene is stranded in one of Earth's Off-Worlds when Earth Europe's power was out and the portals non-operational and Brandon was unable to meet her.

Later, when Valene arranges to meet up with Brandon again, she arrives 7 hours early while he is still on duty. Brandon asks Major Steadman to go to the off-world where Valene is at and bring her back to their accommodations area until he finishes his shift. Military security approved it as long as she was accomplished by one of the pilots at all time, but because there is a short gap of time where Steadman couldn't cover her visit, she ask's Drago to entertain her for about a half hour. He was just waiting to call his mother so had the time available. He was very careful to only have a very boring conversation with her so there weren't be a repeat of an incident that happened when he was in Military School. Once she was picked up, he tidied up his dorm before it was time to call his mother. When he activated his pyramid-shaped anti-eavesdropping device went off. He searched around the area that Valene had staid in and couldn't find anything, so he called military security and reported the alert. They arrived and found both a video and audio bug planted in the couch by where she had been sitting. Valene was arrested and furious over being caught.

### Drago and Madrigal

Now that Drago has graduated from his military training he discovers his parents are treating him as an adult. He and his mother have a length conversation that includes information that he had never heard before about her and his father and his father's upbringing and parents. She also relates the issues that she had with their distant cousin Cordelia from the very first time that they met.
This conversation gave Drago new insights into his father and what he hoped was a change in their relationship.

### Commander Leveque

While Drago was in space having another "Free Flying" lesson when Commander Leveque called him on his lookup. It was during this call that Drago had a major breakthrough with his zero gravity wings as he automatically made the adjustments he needed while conversing with the Commander.
Commander Leveque wanted to meet with Drago about the about the Hestia kidnapping and the arrest of Indigo Westritch.

When Drago joined Commander Leveque in Drago's accommodation area, Leveque filled him in on Indigo's defense was to accuse everyone of lieing and the military taking bribes.
Leveque wanted Drago to hold an exclusive interview with Aanya from Alpha and Omega News because as one of the "Heroes of Hera" he was above reproach.

### Aanya

Dragon's mission with Aanya is a success and she is hot on the trail of proving that Indigo Westritch is wrong about the military accepting bribes and planting information.
