## Summary

* Flashback time! Patty follows Zelf as he leaves the Vilnit estate to meet to Castien and Smol Blep.
	+ Patty also learns that Zelf was trying to meet with the Ministry of the Fleeting Zodiac.
* Back in the present, the party is prepared to fight each other. Castien and Smol Blep are in the room, along with the dwarves Grog and Gretta.
	+ Janni Innaj murders Castien.
	+ Patty runs. She jumps into a portal, which brings her to the Nan Tahrum mines where she sees Orim.
	+ Astra puts on the crown of Lunas. It doesn't fully work because she wasn't tricked into putting it on, but she becomes a true vampire.
	+ Zelf and Astra fight. Astra tries to dominate him, but Zelf has been piloting a food golem (one of Urkelf's specialties).
	+ Orim enters the craft room through the portal. They kick Janni Innaj's ass.
* Patty moves deeper into the radioactive cave. She sees many four-armed green spirits and also Nerissa from Shadowend.
	+ Patty touches the meteor. She decides to fail her will save against the voices and becomes a follower of Hybdall.
	+ Her essence is pulled to another location: she is somewhere else in space and looking out at the asteroid belt.
* Above the meteor, the Ministry of the Fleeting Zodiac are chanting some ritual.
	+ The guy with the sword stabs the meteor and out comes a wave of blue goo. Everything is absorbed into it.
	+ One of the other Ministry members removes their mask. It is a seven-year-old Zelf.
* In the Whispering Woods, Molni and Janni-in-Tabbi's-body pull up to a waterfall. They are here to check on the Godkiller sword.
	+ It begins to rain, but the droplets are a vibrant blue. Everything starts to turn into the blue liquid, including Molni.
	+ Janni Brightchild books it to the top of the hidden waterfall cave, and he is able to see the cavern before the blue liquid overtakes him.
* From a foreign planet, Patty watches the planet of Yrisol turn entirely blue and implode. Some time later, it reforms, looking as if nothing had ever happened.
