=== Chapter 18 ===
Marasi and MeLaan creep around and find some finished rooms. They speculate on where the spike could be. MeLaan thinks the Set still has it somewhere because they would want to study it. Marasi sees the limping guy from the train. She suggests they go inside the ship.
Wax and Wayne decide to climb up onto the construction catwalks to get a birds-eye view of the place. They climb a ladder because Wax figures there is a Seeker there, so he can't just Push up. They run into an engineer, and Wayne knocks him out.
Professor Irich shuffles along in the ship, feeling himself die. He thinks of Suit and [[Telsin|"Sequence"]] desiring weapons, but he wants a miracle. His muscles are growing weaker and weaker. He walks through the ship, discussing its secrets with the academics brought in by the Set. The main problem is they don't know how the ship moves. The crew has been tortured, but they haven't revealed anything. He hears a voice call for him, and searches in vain to find the source. He happens upon a cube device that has apparently fallen out of storage compartment. He can now claim that he had recovered the lost cube and get in better standing with Suit. He leaves the ship.
Marasi watches as Irich leaves the ship and enters a room. They wait to see if he comes back out.
Wax wonders about the ship. It doesn't have a mast. How does it move? He sees the limping man come back out of the ship, looking anxious about something. Wax wonders what the girls did in there. He figures that the limping man is an important underling of Suit and will lead them to him. He goes into a different room, set apart from the rest, and sees his sister in there. Wayne restrains Wax, who wants to recklessly go after her, and suggests another disguise using the engineer's clothing.
