In the aftermath of the Warworm attack, Captain Kang McAlmatov, Sergeant Taner Demetriou, Professor Eleanor Gainsborough and Majorette are left with unanswered questions. Snake has to battle to survive the death of her ship. The Dragonfly finds a place to hide to make repairs, but they are not alone...
In order to contact a friend in the Yakuza martial fellowship within the Navy, McAlmatov takes the Dragonfly to the remote Oberon Torus and uses a commercial sim salon to join her in a combat simulation. Xenobia recognises his fighting style and he gives her the evidence so that she can conduct her own discreet investigation.
They do not know who they can trust. Meanwhile the Battle Ark Shaka is on their trail, as is Snake...
Framed by the traitorous Prospero Congress, McAlmatov, Demetriou, Gainsborough, Majorette and Pol flee Pluto for the Oberon Torus, an outsystem backwater. There they meet the crew of the pirate ship Easy Rider, which ferried Demetriou to Sol system from his failed mission in the Lyra system.
The Navy apprehends McAlmatov, who then finds himself in a forced simulation for interrogation.
