Rhale has been a contender on a gladiatorial asteroid for a very long time. So long that he has given up on any kind of contact with the other fighters after to many experiences with having to put those he knew down. Or having them suffer for his mistakes. Now he is a loner and beginning to drift into hopelessness.
Then Besehba and John arrive, searching for replacements for their team of ‘tomb raiders’. They are artifact gathers and hope to find worthy additions amongst those unbroken souls in the cells. They find Duhrin first, a new addition to the asteroid that is both scared and determined to get away.
Next they find Rhale and after some discussion he agrees to go with them. A suggestion from him leads to Unique, another warrior who is crumbling with bitterness and resentment. With Merrel, a caretaker on the asteroid, Unique ends up with Besehba and John after a somewhat hostile encounter.
Things are somewhat sorted out and the whole group finds their way to John’s home world where they plan on figuring things out from. Duhrin is overjoyed here, Rhale is slowly starting to believe he has found freedom and Unique is being coaxed and taught by Merrel to give up the bitter life he was leading and return to what he once was as Corbin, and rekindle the love they shared.
