*Inside the [[New Cap City]] game, the crowd at [[Atlas Arena]] roars for blood: the grassy playing field of the real-world arena is replaced with sand and stark spotlights, and contestants fight to the death with swords. As one battle ends, [[Zoe_Graystone#Zoe-A|Zoe-A]] walks into the arena and demands to see the other "Deadwalker." Two more combatants enter and raise their swords in challenge. Zoe confidently lifts her own blade against them when a single gunshot rings out and strikes her in the abdomen. Lying on the ground, Zoe looks up to see [[Tamara_Adama#Tamara-A|the Tamara Adama avatar]] standing over her with a rifle. Tamara gloats over Zoe's pain, tells Zoe that her search is over, and shoots her again. | *Inside the [[New Cap City]] game, the crowd at [[Atlas Arena]] roars for blood: the grassy playing field of the real-world arena is replaced with sand and stark spotlights, and contestants fight to the death with swords.

*Rand wakes up and finds that the window boards have been reinforced. She pauses to take a long drink from a water bottle, and realizes that the water has been spiked with drugs before lapsing into delirium again.

*Daniel visits [[Joseph Adama]]'s home in [[Little Tauron]], where Adama informs him that Vergis has to be killed.

*In the arena, Zoe desperately tries to tell Tamara that the two of them are not the same people as the flesh and blood Zoe Graystone and [[Tamara_Adama#History|Tamara Adama]] who were killed in the bombing. Tamara is not convinced; she has all the memories of the original and she does not feel like a mere copy. She suspects that the same is true for Zoe, and that an avatar will suffice. At that moment, family and friends of bombing victims enter the arena and surround Zoe, armed with blades and clubs. | *In the arena, Zoe desperately tries to tell Tamara that the two of them are not the same people as the flesh and blood Zoe Graystone and [[Tamara_Adama#History|Tamara Adama]] who were killed in the bombing.
