Now bonded with [[Grandfather Paradox]]'s shadow, [[Justine]] discovers that it possesses an unlimited armoury within. When [[Lolita]] offers her an opportunity to switch sides, Justine declines and remains loyal to [[Faction Paradox|the Faction]].

As negotiations for the treaty come to a close, [[Godfather (rank)|Godfather]] [[Morlock]] notes that the treaty contains a clause mandating the surrender of any Faction member who has committed a serious crime against the [[Great House]]s. Knowing that no living resident of the Empire has committed such a crime, Morlock agrees to sign the treaty. | ||
However, Lolita reveals that, under Faction protocol, Justine is responsible for any crimes committed by Grandfather Paradox. If she fails to appear before trial, the Houses will declare martial law over the Empire. The treaty's enactment means that the spirits won't intervene, causing violent protest among the Faction members. Shocked by this, Ruthven redirects the guards from the timeship to help calm the riot. Believing the coast is clear, Morlock and Eliza take Justine and plan to steal Ruthven's [[timeship]] to transport her to safety. | However, Lolita reveals that, under Faction protocol, Justine is responsible for any crimes committed by Grandfather Paradox.

Despite Ruthven's orders, the timeship is populated by [[Sontaran]] guards commanded by General [[Kine]]. However, Justine works her way through the ship's defenses. Morlock believes that Kine will undoubtably attempt to kill Lolita at some point and so, at his behest, Justine spares Kine. | Despite Ruthven's orders, the timeship is populated by [[Sontaran]] guards commanded by General [[Kine]].
