Your Kai Sixth Sense screams a warning that you are about to be attacked. You spin on your heel to see a Drakkarim marine lunging towards you with a stiletto-bladed dagger gripped tightly in his blistered hand.

Drakkarim Marine: COMBAT SKILL 19 ENDURANCE 23

This adversary is immune to Mindblast (but not Psi-surge). Owing to the speed of his attack, you are unable to evade combat or draw a weapon until the beginning of the third round.

If you wish to evade combat at the third round, you can do so by leaping overboard into the sea: turn to 58.

If you win the combat, turn to 91.
