The third section is the journey of the Intrepid. She finds the Armstrong and avenges her.
The fourth section starts the story of the Beijing. She encounters a galactic superpower and is presumed lost.

2. The Beginning
Our antihero Peter China while on board Erastus robs a space ship cargo and takes an artificial biological life form. He and his crew bring back the android to corporate headquarters.
Helen Aims, Amtex CEO, orders Pete to Seko. He does not like it but will go anyway. Helen gives Pete a watch.

3. Mission one
The artificial wakes up on the way to Seko much to Pete's disappointment. Will (the spaceman) and Doc (the corpman) assist with the artificial's reactivation. Doc discovers Watch's ability and links it to Erastus for an explanation.
Washington and Trujillo track Erastus seeking intelligence for the National Union. They represent the people through UIA.
Erastus reaches Seko six months later. The crew meet sekons on board a space station and take Ben the lander to the planet's surface. The sekons give the crew the guided tour. The crew find that the sekons are an ancient people that are sexually obsessed because they are reproductively challenged. They are not a material species and decline a fortune for trade rights in exchange for a priest who will be paid for by the defense information device known as the Eletron Security System.

4. The Return
The crew starts for home with a sekon named Salan who has the ESS. Along the way the ship stalls and is repaired in a mysterious fashion. Erastus is impounded after getting back to Earth's space. The artificial now called Ix is biopsied and then has a seizure while on Earth's space station. Amtex' furious lawyer Stein get's the crew released. Pete leaves for Earth.
Back at HQ Helen is in discussion with Pete about the new planet that has been discovered. Salan has already activated the ESS.

5. Mission Two
The National Union examines the Erastus before she leaves for Seko again with Bishop Daniel O'Connor on board this time. Will has a flashback to his boot camp days with the Space Force that is interrupted by the cleric. They work out in the artificial gravity chamber and talk. Will then consults Doc about his conversation with Dan.
The crew meets at mealtime and an argument breaks out between Dan and Pete over the meaning of the mission. During the emotional upheaval Will has a salvation experience.
Erastus arrives ahead of schedule at Seko. Religious activities have already begun. Pete is taken to an archaeological dig and shown a mysterious device by Tokun the mayor of Gateto the city at which they arrived. Pete tells her of the new planet.
O'Connor begins work with fervor. Mass is held four times daily until a monster disruption. The deadly event does not stop activities for long.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, a nanite infection is found on the space station. The station physician and engineer are working on the cure and the solution. Socorro investigates.

6. Return Again
Tokun sends Cullen with the crew back to Earth while in possession of a drug called Wal. Doc experiments with the drug and testing proceeds satisfactorily.

7. Mission Three
The crew receives a message while still in solar space. Pete is a wanted man again and the rest of the known galaxy is not doing very well either. Pete is outraged and falls into panic. Fleeing to his quarters cursing wildly he enters an altered state then recovers and returns to duty.
Erastus goes to New Planet. Will has another flashback while preparing for the landing. The crew meets a Starship when they arrive and flee when they are about to be boarded. Trull troops are engaged upon landing holding Trujillo as a spy. A firefight ensues and casualties include a fatality. The crew frees Trujillo and escapes only to be forced to surrender to the Navy. Trujillo orders the Navy to stand down and arrests her liberators. She agrees with the captain to return Erastus to Earth custody.
