Benny tries to escape but finds that Dr Silkram has sealed the [[airlock]] through which she had entered. When she tries using [[Bernice Summerfield's sonic trowel|her sonic trowel]], a fail-safe is triggered which will incinerate everything inside. Benny is saved by Liso, who opens the door from outside and runs off with her. Later, Bleize and her guards arrive and find that Ogosto has killed all of the scientists before jumping naked into a pit with an exposed tree root. He touches the root and fires an electrical blast at Bleize and her guards when she confronts him; although Bleize is able to avoid it, her guards turn on her. | Benny tries to escape but finds that Dr Silkram has sealed the [[airlock]] through which she had entered.

Benny learns that Liso had learnt about the Greenhouse experiments and sent evidence to her in the lining of the message she had sent her. Liso takes her to a tree and, when she touches it, they meet the [[hammie]]s, an indigenous race who live in a symbiotic relationship with the [[Trees of Life]]. Benny meets their spokesperson, [[Morweningart]], and learns that they were behind the Trees' engineering of the virus as they were threatened by an [[ape]]-like race. The virus, however, went out of control and wiped out all life on the planet. The Trees were able to neutralise the virus by putting the hammies to sleep and storing their minds, but, being slow-thinkers, they had not yet woken them up. | Benny learns that Liso had learnt about the Greenhouse experiments and sent evidence to her in the lining of the message she had sent her.

The electrical pulses are caused by the mental energy of [[Assapartemya]], a hammy who has now possessed Ogosto with a copy of his mind. He was unhappy with how long it took for the hammies to decide what to do during the virus disaster and, instead of resting, he has remained somewhat active and has been experimenting with his Tree's electrical field. Although Benny wants to questioned Assapartemya about what the copy of his mind is planning, Morweningart informs her that the stored mind and its copy are seen as two completely different individuals and do not have to answer for one another. Benny is annoyed and leaves the Tree. | The electrical pulses are caused by the mental energy of [[Assapartemya]], a hammy who has now possessed Ogosto with a copy of his mind.
