Due to this, he tried to keep as low a profile as he could so as not to draw attention to himself. While he was a slave, he became a close friend with Ch'thoqua, forming a bond within weeks. Both he and his newfound friend were anxious to escape, but would give that up if it meant they could harm their captors. Fortunately they were able to do both when Cermack Rustill boarded the ship, and managed to incite the two friends along with the other captives to riot. Shortly after this, the ship crashed on the planet Darstell 4 where he and his friend escaped in the city of Symt.
