On a little known asteroid field at the Badlands Saloon and Grill, Poacher relates the story of how the First Angel, Abdiel was sentenced for a mission to penetrate Malebolgia's realm and terminate him. After Abdiel's mission briefing and initiation into a fallen angel's disguise, he is thrown into Hell. Once there, Smuggler eagerly volunteers to be Abdiel's guide to lead him to the Malebolgia. Along the way, Lilith, Grand Duchess of the Eighth Plane, tries to seduce him and is greeted with a brief but fierce battle which attracts the attention of the Malebolgia.
