While Crichton was imprisoned on Scorpius's Gammak Base, he shared a cell with Stark, who described himself as a member of the Banik slave race. Crichton at first thought Stark was insane, a victim of too many trips to Scorpius's mind-probing Aurora Chair. But it developed that Stark was only feigning insanity until he found that Crichton could be trusted.

Stark wore a mask over half his face. Crichton assumed Stark was deformed in some way... until Stark removed the mask to reveal a surface as smooth and featureless as still water... a surface that glowed, rippled, and radiated an energy that eased first Crichton's pain, then Gilina's. When Crichton asked what Stark had done, Stark merely stated he was "able to give a few thoughts, that's all."

I am glad that this strange and wondrous being escaped the Gammak Base with Crichton, and I am gratified that we could aid his further flight from the Peacekeepers by providing him with a spare Transport Pod...
