When a plague wiped out Relda's kind years ago, her uncle took her and escaped from Quadrant 1 to Quadrant 4. Then he contracted the plague and died. She was left, and clones from a creature named Eyan are the last hope to continue her race. So she took a medallion from the Temple of Qor to pay him. Problem is, he has left to take his highly illegal cloning practice to the infamous Quadrant 3. After a chance meeting  with Quadrant 3 teenagers, she finds herself headed toward Quadrant 3. 
Things don't go as planned, but maybe that's for the best.

 Raylay became fixated on the steering again. 


 “The Dialorians have ruled Quadrant 3 for the past eon,” he explained. “Like I told you earlier. We’re not allowed to know history. Dad and Aks got me a way around that.” 


 “They’re tyrants,” Ty added in. “They’ve ruled us that long, but we’re slaves to them. I tried to rebel and become a citizen of another quadrant. Master Schuyler got a hot iron and branded me.”
