  The merchants of Barevi had completely looted Earth and were demanding a ransom before they would return their greedy gains. Botany also needed much of the loot which was now sitting in Barevi warehouses and so Zainal - who although a Catteni by race, had won his place as leader of the multi-racial Botany - conceived a plan to ransom the ransomers and snatch back the articles so desperately needed by his people.
