This episode starts with our trio traveling through a nicely wooded area. In hot pursuit is a groundccar. Jessica thinks they have gained enough distance on the groundcar. Suddenly the solarcraft looses power. All the indicators read positive. Jessica wonders how they can fix something that isn't broken. Rem tells there that it just does not appear to be broken. Logan advises them to movie out. As they travel on foot two men appear in the bushes and shoot a dart into Logan.

Rem agrees to this as well but he then tells Gavin that he is an android. Gavin points out they could have him disassembled. Gavin leaves to consult with a higher authority.
