Jorgen sits cross-legged atop the cliff above Dreamspring, Juno hovering nearby and reading exercises form a book used by the old kitsen cytonics. Up in the remote location, and with Juno wearing armor, it ensures a safe place for Jorgen to practice. Jorgen tells Jorgen to focus on his breathing, asserting that Jorgen is completely relaxed. He has Jorgen close his eyes and imagine calming situations, such as walking down the beach with the sun and wind against his skin. After Juno helps Jorgen visualize the mindblades, Jorgen is able to shoot one, though it dissipated quickly. Jorgen keeps practicing, meaning to gouge several grooves into a chunk of sandstone. Suddenly, Jorgen is interrupted when he hears a voice in his mind, saying that it hears him, and pleading for him to help them. Gran-Gran speaks in his mind, saying that she doesn’t have much time, but that he needs to help them. Alanik contacts Jorgen, telling him there’s something he needs to see at the medical tent. Jorgen calls for Snuggles, hyperjumps to Alanik.

;Plot Summary
Jorgen arrives at the medical tent, and one of the med techs reports that when they tried to move Cobb and Gran-Gran, their condition deteriorated rapidly and inexplicably. They decide to not takes risks, and to treat them there for the time being. Jorgen tries communicating with Gran-Gran again, but to no avail. He wonders if perhaps their minds got stuck in the nowhere without their bodies. Juno says that Cobb and Gran-Gran first emerged in the main kitsen library, so the group heads there. One of the walls in the library is a smooth stone slab, with cytonic power radiating from it. Jorgen realizes that it must be a portal to the nowhere, like the one on Detritus. At Jorgen’s prompting, Juno says that all their cytonics met in a great summit in the room to compile knowledge, but they disappear. Jorgen theorizes that the kitsen cytonics got sucked into the portal, and are trapped there, and calling for help. Before he has time to think on it more, Arturo radios Jorgen to tell him a Superiority carrier ship has arrived. Juno volunteers to accompany Jorgen into combat to help him with his mindblades.

;Plot Summary
Jorgen and FM arrive on Detritus, and meet up with Rig. They go to Vice Admiral Stoff’s quarters, waking him up and explaining the situation to him. Stoff gives Jorgen almost full authority, allowing him to bring Wandering Leaf to Evershore to help, as well as several DDF flights. Jorgen recognizes that Stoff is giving him so much leeway so that he can avoid responsibility for Jorgen’s actions if things go wrong. Jorgen orders Rig to work on getting engineers to the outer platforms’ control center, and Jorgen expresses frustration with Stoff. Jorgen is doubting his ability to make improtsant decisions, and FM reaffirms her faith in him. Jorgen’s resolve strengthens, and decides to commit their forces fully on Evershore.
