Robin reads of the aftermath of Earth's devastation by alien attack. Peffard was trapped outside his small spacecraft, which was too badly damaged for re-entry to an Earth that for all the crew knew was now lifeless. As Peffard prayed, another ship appeared, but without signaling Peffard's ship. As his crew prepared to attack and seize the stranger, Peffard interposed himself between the two vessels to protect the strangers from his own crew. His act of honor moved the Benefactors to judge humanity worthy, and intervene to save them.
