Wubslin joined Kraiklyn's Free Company as its mechanic. Although he did not understand the workings of Clear Air Turbulence's more complex systems, he was the closest they had to an engineer. After the raid on the Megaship Olmedreca, Clear Air Turbulence docked in Smallbay 27492 of the former Culture GSV The Ends of Invention. Wubslin noticed the male human and drone lingering outside the Smallbay. The pair's behaviour aroused the mechanic's suspicion but Aviger believed liverwine was affecting Wubslin's judgement. As it turned out the pair was part of a Culture team sent to neutralize Horza. The new Company recruit, Gravant, was actually Culture agent Balveda.
