Arndis is to set up a security force for the spaceport on Estevan, a desert world. She survived a fight with an Iskonian, an alien almost twice her size. This simple mission should give her time to recover. Dave Yerks is a native and part of the port's council. The attraction is immediate, but Arndis isn't staying. Not on the hot dust storm plagued dirt-ball that is Estevan.
