***

Coney, a genetically spliced being, is captured by two hostile transgenics but rescued by Prince Namor, a powerful figure in the Soft Sector. Namor delivers Coney to the Pangolin, the ruler of the Soft Sector, who helps neutralize a paralysis toxin and secures a valuable new virtual sex trope called O-max-O. Despite an offer to join the Soft Sector's court and live freely, Coney chooses to return to his master Peej Hopcroft, who uses a substitute trope on himself and Peej Foxx before entering a virtual reality 'Sack.'
