Titus wakes up and immediately notices that he has “no credit” (35). He senses that he is in a room and feels around in his mind for GPS information about his location. He finds a repeating message in his head when he tries to connect to anything that says he is disconnected from the feed. He tries to reach out to Link and Marty by chat, but there is no transmission. Panicking, Titus tries to chat his parents on Earth, but there is still nothing. Unable to find any information or connection via the feed, Titus opens his eyes.

Violet tells Titus, who is sitting in a chair next to her, that she can’t connect to the feed either. They are in a hospital, occupying an entire ward and have been awake for about 15 minutes. Link has yet to wake up. Violet teases Titus for apparently trying to see through her hospital gown. Titus notes to himself, “Everything in my head was quiet. It was fucked” (36). Violet wonders what they should do, but Titus has no idea.
