In this chapter, Nadia and her companions receive a decrypted message revealing that UNOMA controls Burroughs and is detaining all arrivals. Despite the danger, they decide to avoid Burroughs and instead head toward Elysium, navigating through a confusing array of drones and planes likely intended as decoys. Nadia reflects on the complexity of the situation and her possible ignorance or denial about Arkady's involvement in the unfolding events.
