Summary[]
Admiral Theseus introduces two new associates of his that will be taking over his position, Elena and Nelkast, who order the Phoenix-X to the Descenite system. There, the crew are ordered to acquire a piece of Descenite particle matrix technology. Meanwhile, Amp complains that his programming is different and that he is more impulsive. When the Phoenix-X captures the technology, Amp accidentally absorbs the particles into his holographic exoskeleton. The merging causes his program to be transferred to the computer database within the matrix particles-- literally freeing him from the confines of the computer. Before they know it, the Descenites go after Amp, intent on getting their technology back.
