The entire group escapes with the help of Thelma, but in the resulting flee, Julie is shot and vaporized! The rest of the group makes their way to the shuttlebay, where Diana's troops are preparing for a huge Earth attack to avenge the Leader's assassination. Using Philip as a shield, the Resistance takes a shuttle and flees the Mothership, with Diana's shuttle close behind. Diana shoots her target, and the Resistance shuttle goes down. Donovan, Elizabeth, Willie, and Kyle escape from the crash, and find Ham Tyler waiting for them in his car. Back on the Mothership, Diana reads the battle reports and discovers that victory is being won on all fronts -- the Armistice lulled Earth into a false sense of security!

Back on Earth, the remaining Resistance is left with a puzzle to solve. They must locate the Anyx -- the secret of the Ancients -- which the Syllabus tells an allegory of its location.
