As Moya is passing through the Uncharted Territories, it comes upon a malfunctioning ship. As they scan the crew, D'Argo recognizes them as Ilanic - blood cousins of the Luxans. They bring the two passengers, Verell and Matala aboard Moya while John Crichton checks out the ship. Surveying the instrument panel, he suffers a massive electric shock, which causes a strange distortion effect. The two Ilanics get into their shuttle and are taken into Moya's cargo bay.

Verell and Matala are extremely protective of their cargo, but Matala is relieved to find that it is still safe.
