Benny is shocked by the devastation caused by the history machine. Damage has expanded far beyond the Collection, destroying some of the orbiting ships. Benny and Jason help to repair a broken water pipe. Benny finds her pupil, Parasiel, and they discuss food rations. He informs her that Cafe Vosta is donating some food. Bev Tarrant angrily approaches Benny and drags her to Adrian's bed in the makeshift infirmary. His face is wrapped in nano-bandages, and it is likely that he will die. Bev blames Benny for not properly overseeing Doggles' experiment.
