Sanctuary's voyage through Hiverspace continues, and it is discovered that Lord Fagin and his henchman, Dimitri Volstov, are alive and well and dwelling within the superstructure of the colony vessel, continuing to plot and scheme against old enemies. Volstov, it turns out, has developed a new form of the Legion Virus. Only quick work by two skilled doctors saves the day with a cure. Sanctuary's denizens seek out the elusive Comorro Station, eventually find it, and then track down the Thul to strike a deal that will allow the colony vessel to return to normalspace.
