Jack learns from Paisley, the chief of police, that the mob boss Don Lucrani was recently murdered. Jack refuses to help with that case and requests more information about the mass shooting. He learns that the perpetrator was confirmed to be Camilla through a brain scan, which only gets false matches this strong from family members of the same gender. Camilla had no known living female family members.
 
Alici does research overof her own and discovers four other cases of similar mass killings in the past few years. Alici and Jack find that Alici's grandmother Fran Wellington Ball looked nearly identical to Alici before she died over a century prior. Alici theorizes that the behaviors of the five mass killers were the result of stasis sickness, a violent and paranoid insanity that happens a few years after awaking from a brain hibernation. Stasis sickness had destroyed the first space colony that used stasis for the expedition. Alici theorizes that Fran had undergone stasis instead of dying, and then later awoke to become the true killer. However, Fran was confirmed dead before stasis was invented, so Jack is skeptical of Alici's theory.
 
Jack and Alici then go to Big Harold's Sushi Bar. Harold claims that Camilla killed Lucrani. Mobsters show up and lock Jack and Alici in the fish locker. While contained, they research some more and learn that the Ball family was very successful, but began to have financial troubles starting with the death of Fran. A company called Insang handled both Fran's banking and her funeral. Jack also admits to Alici that he used to be in the police, and explains his reasons for leaving and for acting the way he does. Lucrani's successor, Don Rigallo, shows up and asks Jack where Camilla is. After Jack replies that they do not know, Rigallo lets them go.
