The ship and crew are stabilized, but the mystery is no closer to being solved. It also does not help that, as Jackie awakens after her injuries, she recognizes that one of the faces in her tortured dreams belongs to Rachel Poole. What can that mean? Although, as the investigation continues, it is Poole's assertion that the environment they find themselves in is artificial. But they are not alone. The Japanese ship is soon spotted, and Sally intends to finally get some answers.
