Amidst feelings of betrayal and distrust, Rou and Trix work together to bring Eight back.
The group has cleared the blaze that rages within the cavern. The remaining guards are running around trying to salvage what they can in the enclosed outer areas, but it’s only a matter of time before that goes up in flames as well. The group stops in the middle of the chaos to try and bring Eight back to consciousness, unaware of whose personality might arise. As Trix tries to open the paneling, Rou pushes them away at first. Trix pushes forward and begins to examine Eight’s darkwood core. They eventually find a series of strange grooves but realize they have no tools.
Sierra volunteers to go looking for the cart and their equipment, dragging Indy with her, leaving Rou and Trix to have a moment of privacy. As the pair slowly drag the construct’s body along in the search for their belongings, Trix comes clean with their true identity. The conversation is tense, Rou revealing hurt and betrayal at Trix’s decision to keep their secret from their friends.
The cart is found but the group finds that it has been ransacked, some of their cash and food stores gone along with some minor equipment pieces. As the fire begins to climb along the dry wood fence toward them, Sierra encourages everyone to leave and examine their belongings later. They heed her warnings, Rou driving the cart as Trix fiddles with the mechanisms on Eight’s form.
