Wax takes in Marsh's appearance, who looks relatively haggard. The Bilming personnel are dumbstruck. Wax goes to Marsh and escorts him into the headquarters. One officer pulls a gun and Marsh crumples the barrel. The mayor sputters half an objection and Marsh strongly suggests Entrone cooperate. Behind closed doors, Wayne compliments Marsh's accent. Marasi asks if he's well, and Marsh says that without atium he will wither and die. Marsh says he's concerned about Trell but Marsh is growing weak. He says he's in Bilming tracing efforts to split harmonium into atium and lerasium (which he says is more dangerous) and gives them the name [[Tobal Copper]]. He is not sure why the Trellists can have more than three spikes, but mentions they can't compound due to identity contamination. Marasi assures him they will fight on, and asks him about the three diamond sign. Marsh confirms it is [[Kelsier]]'s symbol, and Wax observes it resembles a [[marewill]] flowers|marewill flower]]. Vendell stays with Marsh and the injured, while Wax, Wayne and Marasi gear up and depart discussing ghosts as opposed to Cognitive Shadows.
