Transcript
Still inside the apartment, Lyria opens a concealed compartment and retrieves the compact spherical EMP device. Lyria: Then we move before they touch it. Marc eyes the device while Lyria pockets it. Marc: Please tell me that's a door opener. Lyria turns and starts walking across the main room toward the distant closed exit, with Marc following behind. Lyria: It opens a lot of things. They remain several steps from the door, still fully inside the apartment. Marc: That was not reassuring.

About this chapter
Immediately after the awkward encounter in Lyria's flat, Marc learns that organic humans are virtually absent from the robot-controlled sector. Lyria reveals she has been tracking unexplained quantum disturbances and recognizes Marc's arrival signature. Surveillance data shows the Superposition Motorcycle survived and was seized by the authorities. Marc realizes it may be his only route home, while Lyria warns that dismantling its stabilizer could trigger another reality jump. They prepare to recover it—just as a Sentinel finds them.
