In this chapter, Josh navigates the perilous and deteriorating social environment of Pell Station's green sector, engaging in the black market trade of forged identity cards to survive and protect Damon. The narrative reveals the tightening security measures imposed by Mazian's forces, the increasing desperation and violence among the station's inhabitants, and the constant threat of capture or death. Josh's interactions with the Downers and his cautious movements through the station underscore the fragile alliances and the pervasive atmosphere of fear and suspicion.
