References
- Agent Galanar is sent by Georgi Selestru on a covert mission to the Scalanias system, one of the first recorded locations of the outbreak of the NFS plague in the Border Worlds which was visited by Siy Tarkov more than 20 years earier. There are rumours that a race of alien benefactors known as the Daleks are assisting the inhabitants of that system to develop Variant-7, the proposed cure to the plague. Galanar has adopted the pseudonym of Dr. Dennis Grentram, a graduate of the Academy of Medicine on Galactic Union HQ Planet Nine. On a passenger liner heading to Scalanias v, he meets a woman named Japrice, who had been tailing him for weeks. However, Galanar is unaware that she is working for the Daleks.
- Selestru tells that, due to the contentious political situation between the Galactic Union and the Border Worlds, the Border Worlds Confederation Cabinet will not allow anyone through to Velyshaa. This poses a significant problem for Selestru and Tarkov as the Galactic Union Council will not act without definitive proof of the Dalek threat as they are wary of beginning another war and potentially triggering another Great Catastrophe.
- Due to the length of time that he has been missing, Tarkov has been declared dead. He is unable to find anyone to reverse the classification and, consequently, is still considered legally dead. His wife, who was named Elicia, has died in the interim. However, on return to his home, he meets his now grown daughter Amur, who bears a striking resemblance to his late wife.
- As the Daleks begin to extract information from the Graxis Wardens' data stories on Graxis Major, Sergic attempts to stop them and is exterminated in the process. In order to prevent further incidents, Provost Carneill suggests that the other Wardens be confined to their quarters. He explains to Frey Saxton, Dan Culver, Kaymee Arnod and Telligan that the Daleks are assisting the Border Worlds in developing Variant 7. If the spread of the NFS plague continues unabated in the Border Worlds, all life on these planets will be wiped out within 100 years. Saxton believes that Carneill is willing to sacrifice the Wardens' lives if it helps to develop a cure to the plague.
- There are 60 Wardens on Graxis Major, meaning that they outnumber the Daleks ten to one.
