Vincent and Pino are taken in by a small commune, the inhabitants of which make a living off the refuse dumped from the Dome. Meanwhile, Raul plans his move to locate and capture Vincent.

Re-l braves the outside world in order to bring Vincent back to Romdo. While there, Raul commences his plan to capture Vincent by attacking the Commune with patrol drones. Re-l’s environmental suit is damaged and Vincent is injured in the attack. Re-l suspicions are confirmed that there is a link between Vincent and the Proxies.

Re-l’s life becomes endangered when she falls ill after exposure to the harsh environment. Hoody hatches a cunning plan to trick Raul and return to Romdo. Quinn leads a group on an escape from the Commune using the Rabbit.

Vincent finds a strange book store and an even stranger old man, where he discovers more about his true nature. Re-l and Iggy catch up on the Centzon (the Rabbit, the flying ship that Vincent travels by).
