Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Daniel works with the Adamas to blackmail members of his former company's board of directors.

• Clarice goes about eliminating Barnabas's cell, save for Lacy who she and Olaf take away.

• Cyrus brings the U-87 back to Daniel's lab.

Characters

• Amanda still feels some guilt over her confrontation with Zoe just before her death.

• Duram investigates the murder of Barnabas's cell, seeing they are all connected to Clarice Willow. He then approaches Amanda and tries to convince her that Clarice is STO and to become an informant. Amanda baulks at it all, but then reexamines several things that makes her believe he's right, including hearing her on her holoband, talking about apotheosis and Zoe's code. She initially readies to kill for Zoe's death before she backs off and plays up her friendship as a ruse.
