## Plot

In Hab Block Clark, on the moon Mumeri, Illegal Synthetic 665A-22X "Dex" breaks free of his restraints and attempts to barrel through Booker's team to escape. Nomi points her pistol at Serika Saito, Dex's presumed partner trying to use her as leverage to de-escalate. As the Dex flees and a scuffle breaks out, Officer Crux Ibañez Yancy unintentionally shoots Serika. The Synthetic enraged at the presumed death of Serika retaliates against Booker's forces and scrambles with Jaycen and Officer Holtzmann. The two manage to pin Dex down but the synth is more resilient than expected.

The hab block stirs as sounds of the fighting echo around and the murmur of a crowd makes the crew anxious of a potential riot. Riley and Nomi try to calm onlookers and only get them to stay away from the conflict.

After a prolonged attempt to subdue the Dex, an opportunity presents itself once Nomi tells him that Serika is not yet dead and that the Crux team is stabilizing her with a Lazurus Patch. Dex gives up his fight at the news, and Nomi delivers a beam of superheated coherent light to his cranium, retiring him. With this, the crowd remains agitated.

Booker and Nomi shout about their next actions, and they decide to take the bodies to Serika's domicile, investigate the place, and call local authorities to get Serika needed medical attention. In the domicile, the crew finds Serika's datapad and find no evidence that she is a synthetic herself or any written evidence she knew Dex was a synthetic. She is likely to face future interrogation when she recuperates from the deadly laser rifle shots, but the crew decides that they don't need to pursue that personally.

With the body of Illegal Synthetic 665A-22X "Dex" in a specialized Retired Synth bodybag, the crew leaves Hab Block Clark as respected peacekeepers despite the kerfuffle they caused in the hallway. Once at the shuttle securing the remains of the synthetic, Riley reprimands Officer Ibañez for his trigger discipline and reckless behavior despite the lack of respect he "deserves" as a noble. The seed of an antagonistic relationship is planted.

Tying up loose ends, the crew goes to ascertain Viscount Eridanus Theodorou Douglas' role in the synth's life on Mumeri. While swamped with debt and facing political and economic pressures from local nobles, the Eridanii was unaware of the synth. Production numbers were apparently on an uptick since hiring Dex, but the crew dealt with the problem before Viscount Theodorou could analyze the data. A report from Booker is planned to be sent to House Eridanus enlightening them of the Viscount's sorry state and reckless hiring practices. The crew's job is done and they return to the HCS 'Prudence.

Back on board, they debrief each other the Richter and unwind in their own ways:
- Booker officially reprimands Officer Crux Ibañez Yancy for his actions, to little effect
- Jaycen asks Nomi about her attempt to de-escalate the situation by making Serika a hostage
- Nomi collects her mind and exercises the safe limits of her psionic powers
- Jaycen takes on the ace Aquilan mech pilot's challenge in the simulator
- Booker and Riley try to clarify the Yancy situation over a drink and resolve to not dwell on what has passed
