realistically be applied to Veto Lark. Selling his services to anyone with a decent
bank account, Veto makes it his business to scavenge the stars in order to

them. Aided and abetted by his reluctant companion, Ember Mound, these are a
few collected snapshots from the life of a decidedly unprofessional
scavenger.'
