Argent claim to be a pack of otter-like predators known as the Volk. They also claim to be a video-game simulation, and a bootleg copy of a documentary about the Volk. The individual pack members are brighter than dogs and vocal as parrots, but not as smart as chimps or dolphins. When enough of the pack is awake and together they form a group mind named Argent. |

Argent's home is in Downwarp, or maybe it's accessed through Downwarp. From Downwarp, climb the steel staircase to the end of the Ballard Freeway. Among the piles of junked vehicles, ships, and spacecraft is a part of an old pre-FTL ramship. Enter the hatch, and find yourself (apparently) in a still functional slower-than-light starship from the dawn of time, so primitive it doesn't even have artificial gravity or replicators. This is a longshot... a shuttle ramship carrying four habitats from the Volk home system to the Singleton star, several thousand years before Puzzlebox reached this part of the galaxy. Or else it's a simulation Puzzlebox created to make the pack feel at home. |

*Besax? and Diafeara? were the first two characters Argent ran into, and from the way they were behaving at the time the pack assumed they were a two-member group mind like the Volk. This lead to a variety of confusing sequences until it was resolved. Argent considers Besax an active threat, and the pack will flee and even scatter rather than remain near "The Besax Entity". |

* One would expect the pack to associate with Plurals, but they consider that to be a bit too much typecasting. They're still pondering whether they should join anything, while they work on breeding more Volk so they won't be a lone pack any more. |
