The Cyberon itself is wounded and attempting (and failing) to disobey its protocols when it encounters a [[Fred|wandering pipe-player]], who is being shadowed by a man in black robes. It reluctantly follows its protocols to try and kill the piper, and the Tellurian squad are shamed by Olivia into assisting him; the piper appears nameless and unclear how they're there. When battle commences, Halloran and Sergeant [[Paisley Grange]]'s men are systematically killed off. Halloran refuses to accept the hunt is over and orders Olivia to take the wounded piper back to the ship. However, the Cyberon gets to it first and the ship is destroyed, forcing the Tellurians to seek shelter in nearby ruins until they can summon help. (The Cyberon also sends a signal to its own fleet and Olivia - who has a cybernetic implant to record footage - picks it up, assuming it to be a strange dream) | The Cyberon itself is wounded and attempting (and failing) to disobey its protocols when it encounters a [[Fred|wandering pipe-player]], who is being shadowed by a man in black robes.

For the piper, time briefly freezes and he informs the man in black that he requires more time to make progress. When it's unfrozen, Halloran is irritated by the piper's apparent inability to remember much of his past and Olivia decides to name the wanderer "Fred", after her pet goldfish, for sake of something to use. | For the piper, time briefly freezes and he informs the man in black that he requires more time to make progress.

The group discovers the remains of a Cyberon lab and Fred is horrified to realise it was working on nanotechnology that would convert humans into Cyberons. Soon after, Olivia hears an SOS message from someone and guides them to the ruins, only to learn it's the wounded Cyberon asking for help. Halloran guns it down despite its pleas but the fight damages the lab, causing nanotechs to escape; Fred makes contact with the man in black and learns to warn Halloran to keep his wounds covered. This is too late and Halloran will begin to convert. | The group discovers the remains of a Cyberon lab and Fred is horrified to realise it was working on nanotechnology that would convert humans into Cyberons.
