-Irritated and confused by the situation on [[planet:Nekenalos]] as broadcast by [[character:Evenatra]], but viewing it as an opportunity to benignly reintegrate himself into Threadwielder 'society' if he were to manage to solve the conundrum, Valcen investigates the planet. After talking to Evenatra, he tries to see if there's anything he can do about the weapon ([[character:Teranyina]]) directly, but flees before a direct encounter tests his resolve. On accident, he leaves Ne͡ivat'va behind. Rather than attempt an actual attack on his own, he leaves for [[planet:Earth]], hoping to recruit Jeneth for help.

-Valcen arrives on Earth. Aware that can only convince Jeneth to listen to him if he shows sufficient respect for the local culture, he chooses to incarnate as a human and live through human culture to adulthood - a small time investment, but from his perspective a sound one. In 1978, he's born as the human //Anton Lusk//.

-Deciding that thirty years are sufficient symbol of his respect (and that the round age //"[suggests] a certain punctuality"//), Valcen breaks off all pretence of a normal human life to seek out Jeneth. He doesn't bother with good-byes, be it to a close friend //Janice// or his boss //Mark//, even though both would be easy (given mobile phones already exist, and he owns one), simply sweeping those ties away as irrelevancies, one of many indicators that his alliance with human culture did not run very deep.

 <blockquote>How many of this civilisation's ethical quirks had Jeneth absorbed? Could he hope to appeal to notions of heroism? Responsibility of kin? Nobility? Fairness? Any number of appeals might dissipate in the hollow, permissive Threadwielder framework instead. He would try all of them; not because he felt they //should// have moral impact, but because they //might//.
