It's 3032 and mankind has conquered the stars. Strange creatures walk among us, but we are the aliens now, finding homes among the various races of other worlds. Marc Slatterly and Matilda DuLac are members of the Galactic Mining Guild and they encounter a problem with a product in deep space. After contacting their command, they are told to expect someone to pick up the troublesome Trimagnite ore from them - a Gypsy, of sorts... Enter the Lone Wolf - Wil VanLipsig has lived a long, and not so happy life. Genetically altered by the Galactic Marines decades ago, he looks 25, when he's really far older. It's obvious after this first encounter, he and Marc have a history.
