In this chapter, a violent conflict erupts between American and Russian workers in tents on Mars after a midnight attack by unknown assailants, leading to a riot against UNOMA police. Frank Chalmers intervenes personally to calm the situation, urging the workers to understand the political manipulation behind their conflict and to organize strategically against corporate and transnational powers. He emphasizes the need for cooperation with national governments and warns of the consequences if unrest continues, ultimately guiding the workers toward political awareness and collective action.
