Plot

Before the Liturgy of Death can finish their countdown, Secretary Pym claims that he is the Master and saves those in the Eternity Club by claiming that he wants them to suffer in their defeat rather than die. He departs with them whilst the others are kept under guard. The Nurse sedates the distressed Oldest and theorises that the Oldest escaped the Liturgy after being pulled by them into this universe and that they have been biding their time to recapture her ever since. The Liturgy confirm this to Pym, informing him that the reconstruction of the Great Gate of Light was seen as the Master's signal to them and gave them the strength to find the Eternity Club. When the Nurse suggests that Benny thinks about all of the tasks that she has completed on the Eternity Club, Benny realises that it was her who sent her to the cloakroom and not the Oldest.

Releasing Geren's gas to kill the Liturgy guard fails, but Starll appears and defeats the guard and the group seal its bones inside the board game chest to keep it from reforming. The Nurse slips away with the Oldest as they do so and the group plan their defence of the club; 312 interfaces with the old construction hub underground to use the drillheads as missiles, Grizella and Altazar assemble explosives using Terran Alphan icing sugar and Starll prepares a beam-focusing crystal and adapts a psychic cloak. Pym, meanwhile, leads the Liturgy into the cloakroom and sets the living coats upon them when they realise that he is not really the Master.
