Returning to find most of the colony slaughtered, Nickie flies into a rampage and goes off to kill the Skaines who did this.

Then, at her darkest hour, she learns a valuable lesson about herself, and the true nature of retribution.

**Meanwhile, her Aunt Tabitha works on her own unique methods for cleaning up the universe. With Ryu beside her, she mis-adventures herself and her Tontos through the seedy underside of Karkat to get their man. **

In the end, she also has to admit to what she learned alongside 'Ryotoshi.'

Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger Two, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar-brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing and the Skaines of the universe.
