The Embryon journeyed to Svadhisthana in hopes of discovering more about what happened at Ground Zero. What they found was a large number of terrified Vanguard soldiers. After exploring the base and cornering Harley, he transformed into Hayagriva, and they were forced to kill him. By killing Harley, the Embryon effectively annexed the Vanguards tribe's manpower to their own. Afterward, the Embryon and the other remaining tribes are summoned to the Karma Temple by Angel. After returning to the base, they found a large number of "rookies" - newcomers to the Junkyard, unaffiliated with any Tribe - had filled Svadhisthana.
