Aryeh was a member of the Second Irgun. She was descended from the generation of Jews known as the Second Diaspora: the final defeat of the State of Israel by its Arab neighbors in the 21st Century.

Generations after the fall of Israel, in the 22nd Century, Sarah was part of a group of volunteers, including Yakov, Miriam and Sarah, who snuck into Palestine as part of a terrorist cell designed to incite the Jews still living there to rebel and restore Israel. After being transported by submarine, several groups headed off in various directions. Sarah and her companions began their actions by slipping a virus into the local telephone system, which would eventually disrupt the banking systems of several cities throughout the region. They then attacked a bus, murdering the Muslim passengers and sending the Jewish ones on their way. For their part, the Jewish passengers were horrified by the actions of their "liberators".

The four then made their way to a safe-house in the town of Azor. The house was owned by an older Palestinian Jewish woman named Jael. She hid the four in a well-concealed attic. Although her house was searched, the four were undetected.

The next morning, the group watched a holovid news program, condemning the attack. The were frustrated to realize that their attack had not begun any Jewish uprisings.

The group left the next morning, with Yakov and Miriam heading further into Azor's Muslim neighborhood, and Sarah and Aryeh headed in the other direction.
