Darius had gotten in over his head with his new business, but with a small misunderstanding, he met Paul. After extreme close quarters for several days, Paul learned to trust Darius, and Darius learned he had a new friend and a very knowledgeable business partner. Their biggest asset was a ship like no other. In fact, not only could it travel into deep space but it could jump between dimensions. They thought that they had found the perfect place to mine. While they figured out where they were going to mine, they discovered that there was a large problem that they would have to take care of first. After making friends with the locals of the nearest city, they found out that the locals only run and hide to deal with the night people who terrorized them every night. Darius knew that he would need to find a cure if possible to solve the problem while Paul had a different solution to solve the night people problem. Once all the night people were cleared out and it appeared to be safe, Paul and Darius went about mining the platinum, which was the reason that they had come to this dimension. When their hold was full of platinum, they took it back to Darius's home dimension to trade in. After they have gotten the ship resupplied, they returned to the dimension they were just in to get another hold full of platinum. Little did they know that while they were trying to fill their hold that it would become a race to survive. As they left the dimension with only a partially filled hold the second time, they left with two new crew members.
