Marshall and Archie have an impromptu executive conversation on the way to the Livermore cafeteria.

He's an archetype, he's an energy, he's every weird commanding officer she had in the Natural Guard, every dad like Archie who tried his best in a terrible situation, every figure of authority who shrugged and said, “Well, we can try to do things differently and more justly buuuuut it might be tough.”

Marshall delivers the goods on the INDIGO Program • URIEL debates what to do about the chip in Charley’s head • Viv settles in • Archie and Marshall field a call from Frank Stanton • Charley starts work on something called a “radio-frequency identification device”

Major Stephen Wycliffe comes through and has a dossier filled with information on the INDIGO Program and Charley Helix couriered to Livermore.

Marshall works his contacts at Granite Peak to find out what he can about the INDIGO Program and a certain Charley Helix.

Marshall has Viv up to the Mission for a candid talk about her new role in URIEL.

Having learned that the chip in her head is nearly full, Charley attempts to make a daring escape but, coincidentally, bumps into Mitch.

Marshall begins his exploration into the world of oneiromancy with a dream about one of URIEL’s most suspicious members.

Viv hits the stacks to learn about the Opposition and wraps up her first day in the office by chatting about Irruptors with URIEL’s resident Irruptor expert, Mitch Hort.

"Now, ma petite écolière, what have you to fear? I am here. Tell Papa."
