AYLISHA  & JYM
​

      I think it strange to consider Ayisha and Jym secondardy characters as they are all the way through the book helping Luapp and Enegene. However, the novel is based on why Luapp and Enegene are on a  human planet far from home.

Aylisha Rhalin

 

      Aylisha is the first person Luapp sees after being bought. She is already established as a close friend of Enegene's, and while she acts the part of a couldn't-care-less socialite, she in fact an intelligent and caring individual. She is a couple of years younger than Enegene, and at the time of introduction, unattached. Despite the prevalence of slaves in the Black Systems, she hates slavery. She is also quickly bored with the elites social activities and likes to leave their events early. Her opinon of the elites of Denjal is rather low, as depicted  when she tells Luapp to "...be careful with it. Sometimes the Denjalian elite realise something is different and then they react." The hint is that the elite of Denjal are slow on the uptake.

 

      In Enegene she found a mischievous ally and someone on the same wave length as her. She also gets increased freedom as her father considers Enegene someone who is trustworthy. As she is seen as a wealthy heiress, he doesn't suspect she is out to engraciate herself with his daughter for the purposes of  gaining access to her wealth. While a little flirtatious with Luapp, she never has any real desire to own him, as she quickly realises that Enegene is attracted to him. She bemoans the fact there aren't any suitable unatached males in the socialite group they mix with, but later finds herself attracted to Jym, a man whose father is friends with her father. Despite her frivolous exterior, she has courage. This is demonstrated when she insists on going with the Sollenites to her home when her family are attacked.

​

Jym Corder

​

      Jym Corder is introduced fairly early on. He is Luapp's contact in the Denjal police force and one of the few that know about the mission at the Coalition Master's request. He is the one that does the leg work for Luapp. Even though Luapp finds "distance investigating" frustrating, Jym doesn't miss a thing. He alerts Luapp to the murders he considers to be in line with the murderer's M.O. and is in the right place at the right time when they actually do attempt to kill someone. He keeps the curiosity of other police and the forensics team at bay with an elaborate tale about the Coalition Master wanting a particular criminal caught (this being the truth as far as it went), and finds Luapp fascinating to work with.

 

      While being a policeman for several years, he finds the evidence files of the serial killer's victims

stomach churning. He hastily averts his eyes when the Coalition Master is reviewing the case, and complains about the sight and smell of the victim in Enegene's house, stating he'd never been near a corpse turned inside-out before.

​

       His memories of Aylisha are vague, she was a baby the last time he actually saw her, but when he meets her at Cassida Vian's event, he seems instantly smitten. From that time on, he and Aylisha become a couple, and she even accompanies him across the galaxy to Padua, the Galactic Council's planet.

While her parents raised her to be honest and hardworking, Enegene couldn't entireness escape her environment or her peers. By the age of ten she is into petty pilfering but tries hard to please her parents. However, she doesn't get into real crime until she is in her early twenties. An older man she respects in the Swamplands asks her to help him by staying with a consignment of goods until they are collected by his customer. While she and some other young Swamplanders wait the guardians  raid the warehouse. 

      The group scatter and while the guardian cluster round up the others, Engine is cornered by the grey sub commander, Luapp Nostowe. She pulls a knife on him but is quickly disarmed and arrested. They are taken to Guardian Headquartes where Enegene is interviewed for several hours, but she refuses to name the person who involved her.

      Despite being told by her law speaker (lawyer) that she would only get a suspended sentence for a first offence, she was actually given the maximum sentence of six months, and she blamed the guardian for that.

      Unbeknown to the general public, guardians have a policy of rehabilitating first offenders when they think it possible. Luapp defies that Enegene has a chance of a normal life. He visits her every fortnight for the entire six months encouraging her to take up some of the courses on offer to turn her life around. For the first two months all he gets are sullen insolent remarks and sometimes a vocally abusive reaction, but by the third month she begins to consider his advice. She enrolee in a course to improve her language, literature and numerical skills, then she does a course in business studies. As her last month is drawing to a close, Luapp tells her she can use his name as a recommendation to get a place to live and work. 

      She manages to get a small flat in the poorer end of Mohaib city, and has a series of low paid jobs. After a few a year she decides she doesn't like working for someone else, and asks Luapp to recommend a an occupation she can do for herself. He tells her to become a Syrian as it utilises all her natural talents;

quick wits, an ability to defend herself and an unhealthy interest in everyone else's business. She looks it up and decides that she likes the idea. With Luapp's help she rents an office and starts life as a one person investigator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 During this time Luapp asked her to help him on a case he had been assigned; to identify and stop a serial killer who had left a trail of bodies across the galaxy. He went ahead in the disguise of a slave to the planet Pedanta, and she went some months later as a wealthy heiress. She was determined to use this event to her advantage.

      On the way to Pedanta, she was tutored in how to act as one of the super rich by Luapp's friend Ekym Yetok who himself was from a wealthy family, and was able to convinced all she knew on the planet of her pedigree. She managed to "buy" Luapp as a guard slave in line with the plan and then they worked together to unmask the killer. During the mission, Enegene began to change her view of guardians in general and Luapp Nostowe in particular. When he was "killed" by the serial killer she was amazed at how upset she was.

     The mission was a success and the returned to Gaeiza. A couple of months later they had to go to Padua, the Galactic Council planet to hear the pronouncement on the killer, who was caught and killed on the planet Freair. While on Padua, Luapp realises that he is attracted to Enegene and when they return to Gaeiza, they continue to see each other.

      As time passes, Enegene becomes well known and respected as a Spyrian. Her business grows and by the time of the next adventure, she has a business suite and employs two other spyrians and three recorders (secretaries).
