"Burning Silicon" is the sixty-first chapter of Blame!, and the fourth chapter of Volume 10.

Synopsis[]

Deep in an area controlled by Silicon life, Cibo has been dismantled. A pair of Silicon scientists seek to isolate and control her body’s core, and the thing growing within it. They report their progress to a commander and his enforcer.

Killy rides an elevator towards the area, intent on rescuing Cibo at the Authority’s behest.

Sanakan assaults a gathering of Silicon creatures. Silicon knights arrive to repel her. They mount a shield wall to reflect her graviton beam (which was effective against her previous weapon). However, Sanakan’s upgraded body charges a shot that overwhelms the knights.

She infects a surviving knight with nanobodies that enslave it.
