Borlik was a member of security on the commerce station near the Twin Suns of Qell. When the station was hit by a massive gamma storm Borlik was the first to tell the crew about the curse. She believed that because people had dared to buy and sell in what she described as the "Sacred Stillness," where "the great Gods were born", the commerce stations she said were so cursed. Two stations were already destroyed, one by asteroids and one by fire. Borlik was a member of a cult of religious zealots calling themselves the Kampeks. They were responsible for destroying the other two stations.
