DNA Mad Scientist
NamTar's genetic experiments were discussed only in hushed tones by those who inhabited the seedier corners of the uncharted territories. His work was reputed to be as dangerous as it was brilliant. Had I known just how dangerous, however, I would never have agreed to our pilgrimage to his laboratories.

NamTar and his assistant Kornata extracted quadra helix samples from D'Argo, Zhaan, Rygel, and Crichton. He claimed he could use these samples to provide star charts leading to their respective home worlds. They were overwhelmed. He was offering them their hearts' desire. But, alas, not without a steep price to pay.

In exchange for these maps, NamTar required one of my four arms as payment. Zhaan, D'Argo, and Rygel readily agreed and, despite my extreme protests, brutally severed my arm from my body. It will...grow back. Eventually.

Although I was forced to pay the price, the goods received were not all they were promised to be. Instead of providing coordinates to Zhaan's, D'Argo's and Rygel's homes (Crichton's world was beyond even NamTar's reach), NamTar's data crystal overwhelmed Moya information systems, seemingly by design.

The only hope of retaining any data was to excise all but a single star chart, permanently erasing the information pointing to the other two home worlds. My three surgeons, it seemed, had some further "carving" ahead of them, only now the knives were pointed at one another.

NamTar's true motives quickly surfaced. He wanted to incorporate my race's innate multitasking abilities into himself. In order to assimilate these traits, however, he needed a host body to act as intermediary. He tricked Aeryn Sun into becoming this intermediary, injecting her with my stolen genes, causing her to undergo a radical and potentially fatal metamorphosis.

While Critchon pleaded with Kornata to help him stop this insidious experiment, the others raged around Moya -- each professing their sole right to be returned home. These three, caught up in their own selfish schemes, appeared ready to abandon Officer Sun to the mercy of NamTar's unnatural genetics. Facing enemies without and within, our future together as pilot, ship and crew seemed destined to end tragically...
