However, as they were building up speed in [[the Void]], one of the floating eldritch abominations tried to take a bite out of the Ship. They managed to pierce through the dimensional divide at the last minute, but not before the closing jaws of the abomination dealt some damage to the engine and the directional system. As such, instead of the Cupid Homeworld, the Ship materialised in a random dimension which happened to be the [[Interdimensional Black Market]], where it promptly crashed. Using a little [[Earth]] money left in Darius's wallet, Darius and Tracker were able to buy a [[210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine]] from the [[ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ship-parts seller]] at the Market, as well as the ship-building robot [[CS-NA]], whom they set on the task of repairing the Ship. | However, as they were building up speed in [[the Void]], one of the floating eldritch abominations tried to take a bite out of the Ship.

Before CS-NA was done, they were identified by a [[Wraith]] as outsiders and taken to the throne room of the [[Queen of the Black Market]]. Trying to stab Tracker, the Queen uncovered his true nature as a Clockwork Cherub, much to Darius's outrage. Realising the duo might be valualble, she tried to auction them off. Using his [[Clockwork Cherub]] ability to hack into any pre-1960 technology, Tracker signaled for CS-NA to bid ludicrous amounts of money on them, allowing them to slip away from the auction area. Before the two and their “buyer” could leave aboard the newly-rebuilt Ship, the Queen spotted them trying to leave without paying, and as they took off, the Ship was soon damaged again as one of the pursuing Wraiths tore away one of the stabilising fins. However, this did not overly compromise the Ship's aim, and Tracker was able to fly it back to the Tavern, where he dropped off Darius, who had tried to double-cross him by throwing him out of the Ship. Just as he was getting his bearings, he saw Neezley walking back into the Tavern, ready to begin another tale, and let out a shriek of rage.
