The chapter follows Kaaro as he is coerced by Femi into joining the Department of Agriculture's Section Forty-five after being framed or entrapped for a crime. He undergoes rigorous basic training and attends a classroom where Professor Ileri introduces the concept of the xenosphere, a network of alien fungi-like filaments that connect sensitives and enable psychic abilities. The chapter explores Kaaro's internal conflict, the nature of psychic powers linked to alien biology, and the uneasy integration of these abilities into a scientific framework.
