Daavi and family have again gotten pulled into one of Verity Corp's messes, and are going to have to help sort it out. It would be a lot easier if anybody knew what was going on. The only thing for certain is Milo Baumann was found drugged and passed out face first on Millie's floor, Manuela's being chased by thugs who want something from her, and if anybody knows what that is, it's certainly not her.

Glitzy new tech and exciting computer gizmos galore are being showcased at Verity Corp's annual trade convention, and they really want Daavi to attend. It's too bad he's not going to. Having shouldered enough responsibility to last several lifetimes, Millie and Daavi finally take a well-earned break. Instead, he's trusting Fitz, Fran, and Stewart to take his place, in the hopes that they'll stumble across something that will finally help them all break into a new market, back home.

That includes Daavi, to run communications, and their new darling, Millie, to perform survey, supply, and search flights with her little remote control aircraft. The staging area is a busy huge warehouse by the port, but all isn't as it seems. The warehouse staff seem more interested in keeping the relief personnel away from something than helping with the injured and homeless who are pouring in.

Ignoring all past experience with the term "adventure", Millie and Daavi have signed on for one. Not quite neglecting the fact she is preparing for a big promotional event at her restaurant, which dignitaries and other very important people are likely to attend, Millie dons a rather charming straw hat and joins Daavi as he runs off to a deserted, rocky, sun-bleached isle, neighboring her own.

They're taking Molly and Merrin - Millie and Daavi's new twins - packing their bags, and hopping a boat headed to Belvique for their assignment. Daavi's been hired, along his accounting systems designer Fran, and Motormouth - Fran's friend and interpreter - to set up accounting systems for three tiny neighboring countries.

Alex is bored. He's tired of being a sales rep for a communications company and getting sent off regularly to the middle of nowhere. Luckily, he sees a golden opportunity: the chance to swap with Daavi, one of the company's contractors, and skipping off to a tropical island, instead, to help Daavi's business partner Fran implement a new accounting system. Alex jumps at the chance for a sunny, low-key adventure and trades places with him, dragging his junior colleague Vivica along for the ride.

Shenanigans and surprises ensue when a hyperactive, middle-aged businessman hears about an epidemic reaching the small island where he grew up. He immediately volunteers himself and his bicycle courier employees to go chasing around the isle as volunteer health services personnel for the relief effort's logistics team!

Meanwhile, Millie, a Drachen restaurateur and cook extraordinaire, and her half-Drachen daughter are helping to coordinate the effort island-side and anticipating the arrival of Millie's oldest, dearest friend and his oddball crew.

Young half-Drachen Rinn thought with she was going to have a nice, quiet trip to mainland to visit with her finally-reunited parents, Millie and Daavi. Now, Daavi's missing, Millie is ill, Rinn's grandmother is being an insufferable pain in the tailfeathers, strange people are lurking around outside Daavi's workshop, corporate lackeys are trying to steal prototype equipment from radio towers, a slick salesman keeps hanging around - seemingly to be helpful - and a strange girl shows up on the doorstep.

Reeve gave up the title of 'prophet' a few years ago, when he finally succeeded in destroying his own cult from the inside out. With a little bit of help from Millie and Daavi. But now, another branch of his old church has resurfaced, and they have their sights set on one Mr. Jonas T. Welsh: Daavi's father.
