Dr. Celyddon is approached my Monsieur Thomas, "The Egyptian". Thomas wants to hire Dr. Celyddon to retrieve an object from the local offices of the ''Direction Générale de l'Armement'' (Directorate General of Armaments, or DGA), the research and development service of the ''Ministère des Armées'' (Ministry of the Armed Forces).

Dr. Celyddon performs a day-long ritual to reach into Hélène's mind and find out what happened to her. The memories are faint -- Hélène's mind has retreated from the world to defend herself from a sorcerous assault most foul. But he sees two men, and a large rock in a brass case. Marguerite identifies one of the men as Michel Galabru, a casino owner to whom her father, Édouard Degan, has often been in debt since her mother died.

The crew of the CEV Sherwood Forest* had been sent by Fred to Wendwood to meet with Professor Irulan M'Lori, an Illurian who is studying Precursor artifacts in the Donato Nebula. Fred believes the scanner Professor M'Lori has devised might be able to detect the exotic particles emitted by Old Commonwealth hyperwave transmitters, such as the one he has, as well as the one Sherwood has (which was found at a long-abandoned Old Commonwealth facility).

Professor M'Lori had been attacked just a few days before their arrival. The thieves took a small statue, along with the notes pertaining to that statue. Thanks to the initiative of Dr. Stratis "Rocky" Crystallo Sedimeti Enomorph, the crew made a good impression on Professor M'Lori, and she says that she and her team, led by her assistant, Doctor Jaris T'Kette, would be happy to collaborate with the Encyclopedia Galactica.

The crew manages to avoid being entangled in a criminal investigation, and prepares to depart Wendwood for the Donato Nebula. Suddenly, a large, angular starship moves above them, blocking their departure. A broadcast announces that the HDSS Alahir** is under the command of Divine Inquisitor Gand, and he is here to apprehend and interrogate the crew of the Sherwood Forest.

They escape.

On the way to the Donato Nebula, the Sherwood Forest stops to investigate a location which Fred says was supposed to be used for Commonwealth Fleet Repair Dock Facility 013. However, it is quite near "the corridor" (as the most common routes of travel through the galaxy are called), so it seems unlikely to have been undiscovered for 140 years. When the ship drops into the system, they see a space station, but it is dark...

Mega Pleasurestar 10000 (Commonwealth Fleet Repair Dock Facility 013)

As the ship keeps a cautious distance from the station, the station lights up, and the ship receives a transmission. They are invited to dock and enjoy "Mega Pleasurestar 10000", and all of its delights. Dozens of cinemas, hundreds of restaurants, amusement parks, adult recreation zones, and so much more!

Sherwood scans Mega Pleasurestar 10000, but a strange EM burst fries the ship's sensors. The recorded messages continue.

Sherwood and the crew decide to investigate this place later, and begin maneuvering to leave the system. Dozens of small utility drones swarm from behind Mega Pleasurestar 10000, and the Sherwood Forest departs the system in haste.
