Synopsis for "Chapter XI: Pawn Takes Night"

Sam is escorted to Doctor Kettlewell's office by his mother. Dr. Kettlewell assures Sam he isn't blind, but is having optical migraines due to the amount of hits he has taken to his head. Sam then returns to school, only to get into another fight with Karl and winds up in the principal's office again. He is let off with a warning and returned to his next class when he starts to experience his "blindness" again. He realizes it is a map of some sort and shouts with joy, unaware of where he is at the moment. His teacher sends him to see Principal Philbin again. He realizes detention isn't working for Sam and instead makes him join the chess team. Sam joins and sits through a "boring" lesson on pawns by Mrs. Schaefer and then leaves home in a hurry. The first chance he gets, Sam flies off to find out what the map is for.

After tracking down one of the coordinates, Sam encounters the corpse of K'thol, a former gold dome Nova. He is quickly attacked by alien spiders and is able to fend them off until he grabs K'thol's Nova helmet. A message is sent to Sam about his cause of death and how these very spiders killed K'thol for no reason. Infuriated, Sam strikes all the spiders down and continues on his journey to locate all other Novas and uncover the truth of the missing corpse. Unknown to Sam, by playing K'thol's message, Nova bounty hunter, Cadivan, finds him on his radar and starts planning to attack him and add another helmet to his collection.
