Dhomochevsky, Iko, Cibo and Killy travel to the Silicon life base to confront Davine Lu Linvega and retrieve the DNA sample, but they meet defensive measures.

Cibo retains Dhomochevsky’s arm.

Killy and Dhomochevsky are deposited by the mouth into a large cell, where Exterminator-like minions and centipedes download to kill them. After holding their ground for a time, Killy identifies the matter effector tower creating the creatures from several kilometers away. He cleaves it with a graviton shot.
