As the crew of the USS Jaxartes continues their latest patrol, they stumble across a seemingly abandoned shuttle craft.  On closer examination the mystery deepens and echoes of a previous mission are not far from the Captain’s mind.

Right now though their biggest concern is for a Ferengi by the name of  DaiMon Talr; who has managed to take full advantage of a bad situation, in a way only a Ferengi could ever hope to achieve. But it’s a situation Jason Dervon and his crew must get the DaiMon out of, before he creates any more problems than he already has.

The fate of a planet may depend on it!
