Summary
In her steady stone world, in the secure heart of the rotting Bedlam, Ellen is glad she won’t see Matthew again. She deserves better than a coward who ignored her wishes to leave her past alone. He dug it up and raked through the muck and expected her to be thankful. She’s most definitely not thankful for what he did.
Except part of her is.
He’s thrown an unwanted punch through her wooden front door, a powerful right hook that’s left his hand bloodied and broken. She can’t fix this intrusion into her life. She can’t ignore it. But she could touch its ragged circumference. She could look out of it.
Maybe she could leave through it.

Summary
In the immediate aftermath of the debacle on Ferrix, Yularen demands answers and actions from the officer in charge of the failure who was in charge of the failure.

And after these hopes are vented, he’s going to take action.
He’s going to neutralise the poison leaking out of Ferrix without a drop of blood being spilled.

Summary
Pockets. Piping. Some light tailoring. Deputy Inspector Syril Karn is wearing his modified uniform for the first time today, and he's confident that he looks good. Because he knows that if he looks good, he'll be respected. And if he's respected, his work will be noticed by those who matter.
He will be noticed by those who matter.
But Syril’s colleagues are not falling over themselves to breathlessly compliment his uniform. They're falling over themselves laughing. And when Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin oozes into the building and notices him and enters into a conversation with him, Syril’s dream turns into one where he throws himself out of a window so he can escape.

Summary
Syril's saved Dedra from being torn apart on Rix Road, and she's seething with hatred. And it's not for the mob, because she can understand why they behaved like that. She hates Syril. She hates the way he's so calm and in control. She hates that he's seen her flayed down to her unprotected core and isn't treating her any differently. She hates that she's on unfamiliar ground in every way possible with him.
So she's going to retake her rightful high ground.
She's going to shock Syril back into the subservient mess that he is.
And she'll once again overestimate her abilities and underestimate her opponent.

Summary
Dedra's not a machine. She experiences emotions and desires. She just keeps them in a deep and lonely long-term freeze.
So when Syril Karn stares intently at her and unashamedly talks about his feelings, and uses words such as justice and beauty and dreams and touches her covered arm for one whole second while gazing at her with utter devotion, something inside her short-circuits. Something also ignites.
The only way for Dedra to purge these feelings is to talk about them. Confiding in her subordinates and peers are obvious death traps she knows to avoid.
So she reluctantly visits her boss. And prepares herself for the medicine Partagaz is going to give her.

Summary
Syril's underused heart thumps harder than it did when he was outside surrounded by explosions and dirt and blood and bodies and the thought that she might die.
His atrophied lips curl upwards.
His cold clear eyes remain unblinking.
“It’s not because I’m vain,” he says, his voice a road of baked metal that’s shedding its rust with every syllable she drinks down. “It’s because I care.”
+++
Outside, the Rix Road rebellion is raging and blinding. But inside this dark cramped room, with Supervisor Meero by his side, Syril is being rebuilt.

Summary
Pharma's vocalizer is now working at full power, which means he can talk normally for the first time since he was put into a medibot frame. Since Pharma likes to talk, especially about himself, he needs to find a receptive audience to listen to him. So one night he pays an old colleague a visit.
Ambulon is offline and deep into a recharge cycle when Pharma breaks into his room. He can't hear Pharma reminisce about how he ended up at Delphi, and he can't answer back when Pharma insists that he did his best for everyone on that graveyard of a planet. And he certainly can't stop Pharma from what he plans to do next.
