Jeremiah, plagued by bad dreams, is already uneasy when Markus announces his plan to start forming outside alliances. Markus intends to help rebuild the nearby town of Camden because he knows Valhalla Sector is moving west and Camden, with a hidden missile silo, is a likely target. Markus believes that Valhalla Sector may intend to establish a military dictatorship over the country. Jeremiah ponders an important question: If Valhalla Sector is the enemy, what kind of man was Jeremiah's father?

Working in Camden, Jeremiah spots the mysterious Ezekiel again. Ezekiel stuns him by claiming that they are brothers and that Jeremiah is in danger. Before Jeremiah can ask more, Lee Chen sneaks up behind him and knocks him out. When he comes to, Jeremiah finds Kurdy and tells him of the warning. They rush to the podium where Markus is addressing the community but, before they can move him away, a sniper fires. Injured, Markus urges Jeremiah to find out who did it.

Jeremiah and Kurdy find the sniper, dead. A trail of blood leads Jeremiah from the room to another encounter with Ezekiel who delivers him a very strange message.
