The fleet departs Space Station Hell to search for the star bridge. I take command of the fleet. Getting to the Hades system is Red's mission. Finding the star bridge and a new home for the people is mine. A new person joins my crew, a Keshian changeling named Nugget.I have a growing attraction to the Carpacia's AI, and she is attracted to me. Persephone, is not just a computer-generated personality. Both of us will discover her true nature.I've promised Nugget adventure. He is going to get more than his share of it aboard my ship. While the fleet is en route to the Antares star system, we will discover derelict spaceships. I haven't learned my lesson. The temptation to board and salvage a few of these vessels to grow the fleet is too great. While exploring the spaceships, their guardians return. I rescue a princess from Gorian slavers. She needs my help to save her planet. In exchange, she offers me a reward that she cannot pay.The fleet enters a star system with a world populated with cyborgs. They are attracted to the neurochip implanted in me. They think I am a malfunctioning cyborg and take me from my ship to repair me. My life will never be the same again.I will have these and other adventures before finding the star bridge.
