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.

The Last Jucardians

Even through the bathing unit, the bunk quarters, the passenger cabin, and down the hall, murmuring echoed. It reverberated. Relda pressed her ear against the frigid bathing unit wall.

 "Dad," Raylay continued. "We've got the creature - the one who stole the medal from the temple." 


 "Did you get the medal?" His father questioned; there was a tinniness to his voice. "Or did Fleet 3 get it?" 


 Raylay drew a shaky breath and said, "We had it in sight. Fleet 3 got in ahead." 


 Relda gnashed her teeth and clenched her fists. 


 "So, is all good?" Raylay's father questioned. "You're all coming back now?" 


 "I'm coming back," Raylay said. "Ty is coming back. Ozla - well, Ozla got killed by the Fleet 3 crew."
