Void — Steve Elliott

After returning the body of Sky Seeker's original pilot back to his home planet, our adventurers find themselves led into another rescue mission by Sky Seeker. This time, they discover a mysterious alien, called Void, who appears to want nothing more than to become a solitary hermit, and to hide from all social contact. This wish makes for a prickly and defensive attitude, causing Sneak to question if they should have performed the rescue at all. But Sar can sense an intriguing complexity beneath this brusque and uninviting exterior - something vulnerable, but also something darkly dangerous. He urges his friends to accompany Void to a ruined temple where their alien visitor discovers the answer to a lifelong puzzle. This answer then points them all towards a cave where the final step of Void's transformation begins. The end result is as shocking as it is traumatic.
