With the arrival of the mysterious ship previously heralded by noted astronomers, a frenzy of activity has begun to spot the ship across Galileo. Working together, the ship has been identified as being the sleigh of Old Nick, the happy Progen who brings us gifts each year.As the accompanying image shows, many ships converged on Akeron's Gate in hope of seeing what Old Nick, also known as "Santa", might have brought them all as a present.
With the Elfman brothers also missing, nobody has had time to wrap the presents and they are being received unwrapped. Generally, the gifts are not being well received. One Terran Trader said, "I've been good all year long, helping out others, donating manufactured equipment to good causes, and all i got was a Cat's Paw VII. Still, it's better than the lousy thirty fire opals I got last year."
Before the observers of Akeron's gate could blink, Old Nick was off again, destined for a new sector.
