* At the Spawnlands, Green confronts Val on the theft, but Val blames Melvin. Green warns that continuing to steal from him will lead to war, but he proposes a treaty, stating that while he has the resources and Val has the people, Jake has the smarts to go up against them, and that they should be allies rather than enemies. He hands the Treaty of Peace to Val, which states that by signing, they will become allies during "this time of anarchy." Val signs, and the two part ways.
