Steve and his companions have been offered a chance, the slimmest of hopes, that the UC—whatever that is—will protect the earth.

The UC wants something, and it's down to Steve to figure out how to pay that debt or survive without their sheltering hand. The greater galaxy is a harsh place, and in the eyes of those who battle to keep the flame of freedom alive another day, anyone who would give up their freedom to gain a little security?
