(They'd jumped at the end of #3.)

Their fall was caught by the craft Grix'd taken to get into this situation.

They flew off the planet Duni, chased by the curses of the order Vess was escaping.

Back on Grix's ship, she, Vess, and the ship's crew discussed the situation they were all in.

They all knew that there was a secret monetary relationship between the austere Renunciation and Lux, the corporation almost synonymous with consumption.

Vess asked Grix how they were going to get out of their situation.





The alert was warning them of a ship.

It hailed them, demanding Vess - whose knowledge was a betrayal of the Renunciation - back.

" It's not my practice to hand over passengers of this ship to militant groups.

" If she's committed a crime, come back here with an arrest decree from the government of Duni. Then we'll talk. "

" No one sullies the honor of the Renunciation! "

Grix took control and flitted through the Renunciation ship's hail, firing countermeasures.

It responded with a shot that shook her cargo ship.

She responded by going dark.



Then she popped up again.



The torpedo smashed into the ship that'd fired it.

The ship it'd fired at limped away from the explosion.

Grix tasked Vess with reaching out to the friend she'd left behind at the Renuciation's monastery.

Then she took a moment with another member of the crew, Eline.

Later, everyone regrouped with a plan - expose Lux and the Renunciation's relationship to the government of Duni.

Eline got them in touch with her cousin, who worked in the office of Duni's coalition government's leader.



Vess spoke up.



They shot on through space.

" .. I've failed you. All of you. " Grix said.

" I tried to keep us safe, but.. there is nowhere left for us to hide. "



They saw how.
