When Belief Circles Collide
- Alfred Vaz and Rabbit prepare for their part of the raid on the biotech lab.
- As part of that, Alfred wonders when Alice will get sick when she looks at a file. (Because he can do that with his mind control technology.)
- He also notices two kids on bikes (who we know are probably Miri and Juan).
- Meanwhile, Robert and Carlos observe the belief circle fight start.
- Meanwhile meanwhile, Miri and Juan are riding their bikes to try to snoop on Robert. They're virtually accompanied by Lena and Xiu Xiang.
- Meanwhile meanwhile meanwhile (lot of POV shifts here, eh?), the Mysterious Stranger leads Robert and Carlos to meet Winston Blount and Tommie Parker. They get into regular, non-computer clothes.
- In order to keep connected with "Sharif," Tommie Parker has some illegal computer equipment for everyone. He brags that it's made in Paraguay. (Which, if you remember, was also the source of his laptop; and also a place where Bob Gu had a mission recently.)
- Then, finally, they go into those steam tunnels we've heard so much about.
