Boarding Eagle Three, Pasc finds the controls deactivated by command order. Helena attempts to learn more about the killing sickness, which she equates with the active virus discovered in his system. While Verdeschi and staff try to determine the best way to board the Eagle unobserved, Pasc calls in. He demands the ship's controls be unlocked and Etrec brought to him in exchange for the doctor. She blurts out a message for Nuñez, but is cut off by Pasc. Nuñez speculates it had to do with their needing blood samples to analyse the virus. Verdeschi sends a reluctant Carter to convince the boy to first give blood, then consent to leave with his father if necessary.
