When he found Tracker again, his travelling companion had found a [[ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ship-parts seller]] and was attempting to haggle with them over a [[210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine]]. They ended up trading the dummy to the seller in exchange for the Engine, plus a second-hand ship-repairing robot called [[CS-NA]]. Before they could leave peacefully, they were noticed by a [[Wraith]] and taken by the [[Queen of the Black Market]], who briefly threatened to simply kill them before realising how valuable a [[Clockwork Cherub]] might be, putting the two up for auction. Tracker signaled CS-NA to “buy” them, with no intention of paying, and they made their escape aboard the Void Ship, chased by more Wraiths trying to stop them from leaving without paying up.

Following Tracker's return to the Homeworld, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'') [[Companionship-790]], Tracker's old friend, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane (short story)|The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane]]'') learned about the Black Market. Seemingly not realising how dangerous it was, he left a note in the [[Cupid Suggestion Box]] proposing that the Black Market be made into a frequent romanticisation target.

After escaping [[Venus]], the five surviving [[Wellsian]]s travelled to the Black Market from the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], and, from there, sent [[Forga sog-Forgos]] to [[Hilbert's|the Interdimensional Hotel]].
