A guard was assigned to watch over the prisoner named Quintana who had been assigned to the mines by the warden of Butcher Bay, Hoxie. The guard oversaw his drilling and told him to hurry up, seeing as Jagger Valance needed his share of the profits and Quintana was way behind schedule. Whilst he was busy shouting down Quintana, Riddick saw it as a chance to drop from the balcony he was on and kill the guard from behind. Quintana thanked him and told him were to find Shurik's glasses.
