Storyline Book 5: Distant Shores (1943 - 1948)
"I wept as I read the most recent transmissions¸ now several weeks old¸ that the Black Talon team had sent us from Atlantis. Peaceful water¸ stretching from the sand to infinity. I never thought I would get to see it one day. In a strange twist of Fate¸ the greed and arrogance of the New Earth Commonwealth may well re-ignite the fire that drove us forward¸ drove us to soar among the stars. Once this conflict is over -- and I've come to believe we will win¸ for the freedom of societies across the Gate network -- perhaps I will be able to visit those distant shores myself…"
