==Synopsis==
Mirror Tulip hitches a ride to the car where passengers are assigned their Numbers.
==Plot==
MT and Alan hijack a pod from an elderly passenger and ride it back to its origin. A video on the pod plays, in which One-One explains that the damaged pod needs to be fixed at the Tape Car. Upon entering it, MT discovers that passengers, having been made unconscious after being brought on the train, are placed in a gelatinous substance where they are monitored and have their memories copied onto videotapes that rate their flaws and issues. They are then dropped down to a room where a laser uses the information from the tape to inscribe a number onto their hand. MT puts her hand in the path of the laser in order to receive a number, but the beam just goes through her body. Angry and frustrated, she begins to destroy the room's service robots and prepares to do the same to the laser, only to be stopped by One-One, piloting the Steward robot.
