Billy (and Jimmy) Santos don't appear again in this story, however, there is another story a little farther down the line (see Mr. D8a's timeline) called Rite of Passage, in which they play significant parts. Billy is later mentioned in Shell Game where he and his partner, Janice Westover, are the control-room psychics on one of the big ships during the Battle of Ladreen. You also catch a short mention of Jim Santos in Slave Race where he and his psychic partner, Susie Burke are the pilots of a skippership during the same battle. The two of them also appear in a story (that is still in the plot stage) called Initiation, that I plan on writing when and if I ever manage to get the time.
