[[Lukor]] and [[Grode'Corm|the Court Historian]] attend a diplomatic conference of the [[Trune'Rook Yim planetary alliance]], held on the planet [[Xashroth]], to welcome the [[Hanamat system]] into the alliance. The alliance is crashed by [[Caladru Kebek|Kebek]] who attempts bioweapon-based blackmail on the Hanamat system. The Mistress and B.E.S. are able to develop a vaccine for the disease, and then head to Kebek's ship alongside Lukor, claiming to surrender, while actually planning to sneak a computer virus into his systems and slow down his reprisals. | ||

* It is stated that prior to her stay on [[Jokastarna]], the Mistress travelled in a spacecraft called the ''[[Odette]]''.

* The [[cavey]]s are depicted not as a single species, but as a race made up of groups of slaves imported to Jokastarna from many other planets. For example, [[Nathanien]] and [[Lenora]] are shown to be [[feline]] in appearance, being [[D'Roon'Klim]] from the planet [[R'Inderfred 88]]. It is revealed that Lukor made a deal with Kebek so he would supply him with the slaves in exchange for Lukor helping Kebek get the technology to build his [[warrior-bird|warbird]]s. | * The [[cavey]]s are depicted not as a single species, but as a race made up of groups of slaves imported to Jokastarna from many other planets.

* When the Mistress falls unconscious, the narrative follows her dream or hallucination. She briefly hallucinates that she under attack by a squad of [[Cyberon]]s, then by a "horrible, horned creature with red eyes". However, she then has a psychic conversation with the gestalt intelligence in the walls of the [[Inner Kingdom]], clarified to be the "[[atomic shadow]]s" of the minds of previous generations who died in Lukor's concentration camps. When speaking to her, they take the form of the Mistress's mentor, described as a "tall man with wild hair and an oversized coat". | * When the Mistress falls unconscious, the narrative follows her dream or hallucination.
