|Rig to Alanik{{book ref|sf2|23}}
}}
Back outside Detritus, Alanik and Jorgen went aboard a Superiority ship to rescue Gran-Gran, Cobb, Jorgen’s parents, and members of the National Assembly. Alanik discovered a bomb on board, rigged to blow, and fetched Rig from Wandering Leaf. Rig examined the bomb, but didn’t know anything about how to stop it. He used Drape to hyperjump back to Wandering Leaf while Alanik and Jorgen tried to get the others off the ship.{{book ref|sf2|23}} They got Gran-Gran and Cobb off, but the others died in the resulting explosion. Afterward, Rig partially blamed himself for their deaths, but Alanik told him it wasn’t his fault.{{book ref|sf2|epilogue}} Rig joined Jorgen and the rest of the flight as Jorgen yelled at [[Stoff|Vice Admiral Stoff]], and went with FM to try and get one of the slugs to find Cobb.{{book ref|sf3|1}} When the rest of Skyward Flight left for [[Evershore (planet)|Evershore]], Rig worked on exploring Detritus’ platforms with the Engineering team.{{book ref|sf3|2}} FM and Jorgen returned to Detritus during the battle for Evershore, and met with Rig. After being appraised of the situation, Rig went with them to wake up Stoff and give him a report. Stoff gave them almost full autonomy, dumping the responsibility, and therefore possible blame for failure, on them. Jorgen ordered Rig to try and access the platform control center, to try and send some platforms to Evershore to help.{{book ref|sf3|13}}

|Um, I know I asked you for more slugs, but I really don’t know which boxes to put them in. I have no idea what some of these slugs would do, even if we could figure out where to put them.

Some time later, Jorgen hyperjumped to Rig again, saying they needed to transport several platforms to Evershore as soon as possible, since Superiority reinforcements were arriving. Rig showed Jorgen that there were tons of empty taynix boxes in the control room, but that he didn’t know what many of them did, much less have enough slugs to power them all. Jorgen and Fine connected with the taynix beneath Detritus, summoning hundreds of various slugs into the control room, startling Rig. Rig and several of the slugs started getting the new slugs into boxes, though Rig still didn’t really know what he was doing. Jorgen told him to just do his best to figure it out.{{book ref|sf3|15}}
When the Superiority forces started targeting various Evershore cities, Rig was forced to hurry up. Jorgen, with the help of Fine, managed to hyperjump the entire planet of Detritus to a point off Evershore. Rig found that the control platform had similar navigation controls to Platform Prime, which could direct the hyperslugs. Detritus’ sudden appearance caused a massive tidal wave to form down below, and he and his engineers scrambled to enter coordinates into the navigation system. He moved Detritus further away from Evershore, while also sending out various platforms down to Evershore to protect the kitsen cities from Superiority ships.{{book ref|sf3|20}} After the Superiority retreated and Evershore was saved, Rig worked on optimally placing platforms around the planet to generate the shield.{{book ref|sf3|epilogue}}
