 Shortly after the Doctor tries to break into the Library of Closed Books, he is dragged before a court. Though the Doctor tries to escape, his escape attempt is stopped by a security droid. To try to get the Doctor out of jail, Anji tries to buy him out (using a new movement that tries to deal with overcrowding in Lebensweltian prisons by letting prisoners be released if sufficient funds are raised) but discovers that the "funds" are actually certain vital organs. While meeting with Anji in prison, the Doctor reveals that he only has fragmentary memories of the break-in.
-Meanwhile, in an attempt to "learn the local culture", Fitz takes a job from a newspaper advert that turns out to be a rather shady escort gig - one that uses fast-chain memory acids.
+Meanwhile, in an attempt to "learn the local culture", Fitz takes a job from a newspaper advert that turns out to be a rather shady escort gig - one that uses fast-chain memory acids. In a simulation created by the runners of the escort gig (Svadhistana, Darlow, and Darlow's hired muscle Gimcrack), "Fitzgerald" saves a damsel named Carmodi Litlan from being married off to the evil Duke Doctori. Though Carmodi is nearly slain by Doctori, the duo are saved in the nick of time by Fitz's jetpack-wearing adjutant Connery.
