Title:
X-Man
Synopsis:
Nate manages to cushion his fall, saving himself, Urch, and the baby. He collapses a series of rocks around them, blocking them off from the guards who have pursued them. He is unaware that they are being watched.
One of the guards contacts Lilandra, Majestrix of the Shi’ar. The guard nforms her about the rebellion in the mines, and she learns that Nate is involved.
Nate gets to know Urch better, and she removes her helmet, revealing her blue-skinned appearance. She reveals that the baby is actually her sister. She tells Nate of how she, too, was born into the mines, and that her parents met in the mines, both being imprisoned there for petty crimes. Nate is disgusted that Urch had to grow up in the mines and is still a prisoner even though she never committed a crime.
The creature watching them is revealed to be a Darkle, who warns them of the guards who are breaking through the rocks that Nate has placed around them for protection. Just as the guards break through, Nate and Urch are able to escape.
They find the pods where the other prisoners sleep, and Urch reunites with her father, Grun, and introduces him to his other daughter. Nate tries to leave, but Urch follows him, insisting that she help him.
The Darkle appears again, but instead of helping Nate and Urch, this time, he apparently alerts guards to their presence. Nate and Urch flee into a waste-disposal system. When they make their way out of it, they discover they are on the Shi’ar Imperial throne world. They are surrounded by guards, as Lilandra appears before them, instructing Nate to end this now. She spouts off some propaganda about the need for the mines, to which Nate challenges her.
He tries to touch Lilandra to telepathically show her what goes in the mines but can’t, discovering that she is just a hologram. Nate yhen uses the electronic creature that has been following them to make the connection, and Lilandra is shocked at what takes place under her rule.
As Lilandra sets about making changes, Nate is shipped off of Chandilar in a capsule under the watch of the Darkle.
