Lakbulbup would be contacted by his cousin, Xodlak'phr'ooa "Lakphro", who would send him and his wife, Dilpram, a metal brooch for metallurgical analysis. Lakphro would hope that Dilpram, a biological scientist, would be able to send the brooch to a metallurgist. Lakbulbup would later recommend sending the brooch to Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn", due to his renown for being able to analyze alien artwork. Lakphro would agree, and Lakbulbup would promise to send the brooch to a Xodlak warrior on Thrawn's ship, the Springhawk, when it returned from its current pirate hunting mission past the Paataatus Hiveborn. However, he would instead send the brooch to Lakwurn, a Xodlak hyperspace technician aboard the Chiss warship Grayshrike, commanded by Xodlak Senior Captain Xodlak'in'daro "Lakinda", which was poised to rendezvous with the Springhawk for the pirate search. In actuality, this brooch was partially composed of nyix, the rarest and most valuable metal known to the Chaos. It was being used as a tool to foment a civil war in the Chiss Ascendancy.
