Welcome to Tegmin 5: the fifth planet in the Mu Cancri system, otherwise known as Amalia by its native inhabitants, the Ñirahh. Our spies meet up with these centaurish dinosaurians after a close encounter with several Enemy soldiers. One of the team is injured and unconscious for days, while another is captured by the Enemy. Meanwhile, a series of strange, vivid dreams begin to convince Diego that there's more to this planet than it seems -- though he is loathe to accept them as yet another kind of weird psionic phenomenon in his life.
