==Plot summary==
On [[Tathis]], an unnamed [[Merchant Caste|merchant]] from [[Clan Diamond Shark]], who had been previously a [[Star Commander]] from [[Rho Spina Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)|Rho Spina Galaxy]], meets with scientist [[Jerome]] who has been acting as the middle man on a complex negotiation between [[Clan Ice Hellion]] and [[Clan Hell's Horses]]. When Jerome discovers that they are both near a possible breakthrough that would affect Clan Diamond Shark's [[HarJel]] monopoly, the merchant moves to stall Hellion. The Sharks stage an accident by using the [[DropShip]] ''[[Brightmetal]]'' and challenge Clan Ice Hellion for it with the enclave of Ristha as collateral. The bidding has [[Star Captain]] [[Dana Horn]] with the merchant's support pitted against Star Captain [[Erik Rickard]] and his assistant Star Commander [[Caleb]]. The Sharks ''play'' with the Hellions and make Caleb challenge the merchant, allowing him to enter the bid, as being an old warrior can get his rank back by Shark rules. The merchant in a ''[[Vapor Eagle (Goshawk)|Goshawk]]'' fights Caleb in a ''[[Mad Dog (Vulture)|Mad Dog]]'' for the DropShip and Caleb is downed by the merchant and made a [[bondsman]], though the DropShip is lost to the Sharks, while the enclave is won by Diamond Shark forces under Star Captain Dana Horn. As the merchant does not want to be back a warrior, this makes Caleb a bondsman of a merchant, and Caleb negotiates being back to the [[Warrior Caste]] by telling the merchant the location of a secondary laboratory where there is the backup investigation.
