In towards the centre of the galaxy in a clearing on a lush and verdant planet, the matriarch quietly considers her plans further.

At galactic Cephrit star-base 31, the station master reviews the endless reports on the war with the Tilmud with little interest. The Cephrit ponders the universe as he considers the fate of the Traders in general and specifically what happened to Narindestat, his Trader protégé.

Elsewhere in the solar system, a small atmospheric probe races high into the upper atmosphere of Neptune. The automated probe then sends a short tight beam burst of data back down to the waiting life forms in the lower cloud layers below. The probe soon returns to the planet’s lower atmosphere and is recovered by a waiting airship the size of an aircraft carrier.
