Seventeen years have passed since the human colony on Tau Ceti was attacked and you helped me capture the Pfhor scoutship. During these seventeen years, the S'pht which I liberated from slavery and I have been searching the galactic core for the S'pht homeworld, Lh'owon. Lh'owon was all but destroyed over a thousand years ago during the battle in which the Pfhor enslaved the S'pht.

Immediately before we left the colony on Tau Ceti, I teleported you directly into one of the stasis chambers on the scoutship and you remained there for our entire journey through the core. One instant you're looking forward to retiring from the combat as the hero of defense of Tau Ceti and the next you're on an alien world seventeen years later and half a million light years away.
