Benny is given the task of serving [[burger]]s at a stand whilst Peter undergoes suit training, at the end of which Benny threatens Cindy, whom she distrusts, into keeping him safe during the mission beneath the surface. In her free time, she tries to recover [[data]] from the [[portrait]] of [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] she took from [[Vingus Bank]] without success, only getting access to a logic game which industrial [[spy]] [[Aaron Keep]] advises her is simply keeping her playing. Meanwhile, Peter discovers that [[Lamarque Aslinedes]], the owner of ISA and leader of the expedition, has brought a crate full of [[gun]]s because of his [[paranoia]] and is saved from falling to his death by Cindy. He starts to worry about the suit he is wearing, which breathes for him and keeps him from having to eat, and decides that he wants to leave. | Benny is given the task of serving [[burger]]s at a stand whilst Peter undergoes suit training, at the end of which Benny threatens Cindy, whom she distrusts, into keeping him safe during the mission beneath the surface.

One night, Peter sees a transparent Cindy without her suit and she tries to convince him he is [[dream]]ing, but he reports having seen something to Aslinides. The team find evidence that somebody has been beneath Absence and traversing with a web of cables, some of which snap and cause Cindy to fall. Peter is greatly upset and is told by Aslinides to throw away his diary, which Aslinides claims is a crutch, to set himself free, but he is hesitant. The two continue the mission and reach the interior of Absence whilst Benny finds, in Keep's possession, an advanced [[radio]] which picks up the expedition's communications. | One night, Peter sees a transparent Cindy without her suit and she tries to convince him he is [[dream]]ing, but he reports having seen something to Aslinides.

When two [[spaceship]]s enter the cluster's [[orbit]], the [[Technocult virus]] causes the [[robot]]s on Absence to attack and Keep, a member of the [[Technocult]] in a body assembled from purchased parts, explains that they have come to free the machines. | ||
''to | Peter and Aslinides are attacked by [[war droid]]s and attempt to fight back with guns. Cindy returns, destroys the war droids and starts patching up Peter's damaged suit, but he realises that Aslinides' mission has been to destroy the machines evolving beneath Absence and Aslinides decides to leave him behind to die. Cindy refuses and carries him back to the surface where he sleeps for days, the Technocult having been defeated by an [[electromagnetic pulse]], and tells Benny that she is a sentient ISA suit. She also reveals that she snapped Aslinides' neck so he would die happy, believing that he was still in control of his company, and intends on learning from Keep, who visits Benny and Peter as they leave the cluster. He asks Benny to help him and Cindy liberate the new life beneath Absence, but she declines and they head to their ship. | ||
