A small group of Brunnen-G, led by Kai, fly from the surface of their home planet to engage the Divine Shadow’s Fore Shadow, knowing that they will die as their ancient, scorpion-like, fighters are no match for their enemy’s formidable weapon. The Foreshadow fires on the planet. Kai’s fighters fire at the Fore Shadow. The planet is destroyed. Many of the fighters are destroyed and Kai orders the remaining vessels to crash into the control pod. Kai’s craft is the only one that makes it before the shields close. Kai is thrown from his craft onto the deck, bleeding. Kai tells His Divine Shadow that the Time Prophet saw the demise of His Order, destroyed at the hands of the Brunnen-G. The Divine Shadow kills Kai and extracts his memories before sending him to the Bio-scholars for preservation.
