| However, though they were valiant, their attempts were futile, and after hard consideration the Commandant ordered all soldiers to retreat north to the Alaamyt Stronghold, an important military installation hidden in the mountains. Along the way they were ambushed by a large scouting party which, after much fighting, whittled down the Gagarin Unit's force down to one man: Joseph. Badly wounded in combat, he had managed to crawl away and stablize his condition, before being tracked down and taken as a prisoner of war.

Eventually though, the band would reach their destination and he would be placed in the largely empty Concentration Camp found there. Though he managed to survive there for several days without problems, he would become subject to a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites. This was a result of his rudimentary clean-up over a week earlier, which was not good enough to defend himself against such viruses. At first it did not affect him in any manner, but it would, in time, attract the attention of his "Warden". | | Because of a lack of transportation, the entire group was forced to walk making the journey far more dangerous then it should have been.

| There he would spend most of his time in a sterilized chamber or in an examination room. Neither of which were enjoyable. They fed him and clothed him and bathed him, but in the end it all came down to the examination table where he would lie, heavily sedated, and was carefully analyzed and expiremented upn by the twisted doctors with their devices. Here he would spend the next several months, his life becoming a carefully planned routine of repitivity, with every day making him more and more like an animal, turning a normally elquent man into feral beast. No one would go looking for him. No one would try to save him. No one... until the Tarkian Incursion of 18 ABY.

| The exact details of the invasion into the Tarkian Jungle are kept a closely guarded, and nobody knows why. Perhaps there was something important hidden there. It really doesn't matter, the end result is still the same. Many, many miralukas fell there and the enemy, on this southern front, were pushed back in one of the most devastating battle ever faced by the Feroxin military. By then however, the Vademii expirements were completed, and their prisoner was taken back to Tarxa's fortress where he awaited death.

| Fortunately, the Commander's relationship with his those under his command had been greatly strained and in a shocking development, they revolted. As the firefight ensued, Joseph managed to scramble over the walls and into the forest below. He ran as fast as he could, even in his weakened state, stumbling and falling as he went. Into the darkest he dashed, over the roots and under the low hanging branches, through the swamps and down the hills he dashed, until the sun came up and he could move no more.

| There he slept for several days, exhausted and forgotten,but not dead yet. It was on the fourth daythat he awoke, in an unfamiliar hut, under the watchful eye of an unfamiliar man. Like an animal this scared him, causing him to lash out, slaying the man and leaving him alone. He never knew who the man was, the only thing that indicated his identity was a small box on which was carved Markov and Joseph's family crest. How this man knew the Markovs is unknown, mayhaps he was related to them or maybe not, in the end it doesn't matter, the man was dead.
