* [[Vera Juarez]] confronts [[Colin Maloney]] with the threat of prosecution for improperly caring for all the sick. Maloney panics, steals a [[gun]] from his enlisted associate [[Ralph Coltrane]], and shoots her twice. He covers his tracks by saying the gunshots were the sound of a door slamming. Maloney and Cornish carry her off to an incineration module to be burned alive. [[Rex Matheson]] finds Vera locked inside as its burners kick on. He cannot unlock the module and witnesses her death, recording it as evidence to be waged against the government.

* The [[categories of life]] are a set of three judgements made about one's health. Category 3 is designated white and denotes a person with good health and no injury. Category 2 is designated blue and denotes a person who has sustained serious injury but continues to remain conscious without healing. Category 1 is essentially a death sentence, those who have little to no brain function, remain comatose or have suffered excessive mutilation that would cause them to die without the Miracle sustaining them. Category 2s are placed in overflow camps to be classified and kept under watch with care, while the ill and lame-bodied Category 1s are cremated in modules to expunge disease. Patients are given coloured [[peg]]s to denote category.
* All of the camps have [[module]]s hidden from public view, the walls of which are cold - possibly made from [[brick]] or [[ceramic]].
