Dos Santos awakens inside a damaged bio-mechanical craft, discovering that the left wing suffered a high-probability sabotage. Despite the risks, he decides to proceed with his mission to repair the River, integrating a kibe unit into his suit for assistance and enhanced sensory input as he ventures into the jungle. The chapter highlights the tension between organic vulnerability and cybernetic reliability, as well as the urgency of Dos Santos's environmental mission.
