Tegan is [[transmat]]ted to Earth Free Media's base, the Correspondence Club, which is in close orbit of [[Earth]], 250 klicks above the surface of the planet. On a television monitor, she witnesses Magnus Greel meeting with [[Ingrid Bjarnsdottir]], the Commissioner of the [[Icelandic Alliance]], in Peking. Greel introduces Bjarnsdottir to his "devoted bride-to-be": Nyssa.

After learning of the destruction of Findecker's facility in the Brisbane Dead Zone, Greel has an attack and blames the Icelandic Alliance for the incident as well as the earlier attempt on his life. Consequently, Commissioner Bjarnsdottir considers withdrawing from the peace accord.

In her chambers, Nyssa discovers that Findecker is present. The scientist accuses her and Turlough of being Time Agent spies in the employ of the [[Iceland]]ers. He disappears as soon as Kaori arrives. Confirming his suspicions, Turlough sneaks out to the Icelandic [[Embassy]] and presents Commissioner Bjarnsdottir with the evidence which Nyssa has accumulated.
