Powered by the many boomslugs in their boxes, the many platforms begin to fire hyper weapons, shredding enemy ships with massive mindblades. Rig realizes that the can move the planet with the command platforms navigation system, and he and the other engineers try to figure it out. Kauri radios Jorgen and tells him that the arrival of Detritus is causing a massive tidal wave to form on Evershore, and that their planets might rip each other apart. Rig guesses that the planets aren’t ripping each other apart because Detritus is equipped with some kind of GravCap system. Rig and his engineers work on setting up coordinates for the platforms, and begins sending them to protect various locations on Evershore. Though Rig starts moving Detritus away, Kauri reports that the tidal wave will still hit Dreamspring. Jorgen warns the medtechs, saying he may have to get them out. Jorgen gathers up Fine and several other commslugs, showing them the battle. He sends out feelings of confidence and strength to their allies, and Fine and the others help boost his signal. The Superiority forces begin to lose soundly, and eventually they retreat back to their carriers, which hyperjump away.

;Plot Summary
After the battle, Jorgen overlooks the city of Dreamspring. Though its lower structures are heavily damaged, the main upper city remains mostly unharmed. Jorgen apologizes to Juno for what happened, then goes down to meet Stoff, who is arriving. As Cobb walks up, Jorgen’s decides not to expose Stoff’s cowardice. FM, however, speaks bluntly and honestly to Cobb, saying that he dumped all the responsibility on Jorgen. Cobb reprimands Stoff, and tells him to leave. FM also leaves at Cobb’s request, and Jorgen apologizes to Cobb for acting rashly. Cobb tells Jorgen that he had been awake for a while, listening in on the radio, but hadn’t let the medtechs tell Jorgen lest it distract him. Cobb decides to promote Jorgen to vice admiral, which is a shock to Jorgen. Cobb also decides to retire from service, at least for a time, and gives operational command to Jorgen. Cobb reasons that Jorgen and his flight have the most experience with other planets and the Superiority now, and that people who don’t want to take control make the best leaders. Cobb tells Jorgen that his parents would’ve been proud of him, and Jorgen breaks down crying. Cobb comforts him, and tells him he can do what he wishes with Stoff. Jorgen decides to relieve Stoff of his position, but to not punish him further.

;Plot Summary
Jorgen leaves Cobb, talking to Goro and Cuna about the affects of the battle. Goro gives Jorgen his support. Jorgen talks with FM, and fills her in on his promotion. With him no longer able to fly into combat with Skyward Flight, Jorgen decides to put Arturo in charge of the flight. Jorgen wants to put FM in charge of Detritus’ diplomatic program, which means her stepping down from active duty like him. FM doesn’t like the idea of Skyward Flight going on into battle without her to protect them, but she agrees to do it. FM leaves to go tell Rig, and Jorgen is left by himself. He thinks about Spensa, wishing he could talk to her. He reaches out with his senses, and can feel Doomslug, and how she is worried about Spensa. He thinks about how Spensa isn’t the only one who can pull off impossible tasks, and is determined to make sure she has a home to come back to when she returns.
