Jeni is at first surprised and perplexed. She expects the Massiff to continue its pursuit. She gets up and confirms that the creature is in fact dead, then her attention turns to her mysterious helper: a lone robed figure perched on a scrap pile some distance away from the Falcon. He turns down his weapon, a scoped blaster rifle with a vibro-blade bayonet.
After getting to the ground and retrieving Zero from the hull of the Falcon, Jeni meets the figure. He pulls back his hood to reveal purple skin, young but hard-edged features laden with piercings, a bald scalp, and intense green eyes. He tells Jeni to watch her way in the junkyard wastes, inferring that she is new to these parts. Jeni is at first apprehensive of the stranger until he explains himself.
His name is Amnar, of the planet Keshiri. He has come to Raxus Prime as part of his clan’s rite-of-passage. Amnar's task has been to find a warrior with a worthy cause to aid in order to prove his worth to his elders on Kesh. He believes he has found just such a companion.
Jeni senses a great deal of honesty in Amnar, so he gains her trust, at least to aid in his search for Dagman. She tells Amnar of her quest for the Strider as he leads her and Zero down a shortcut to the market. Amnar keeps his honed senses attuned to the signs of other junkyard predators.
