Helena pages the tech-lab again and is told Pasc and Etrec left some time earlier. Security men are dispatched to locate the lost aliens, who are found as they board a travel tube servicing the launch pads. During this, Carter and Johnson examine the Archanon device. An open panel contains a video-screen; inside are a series of rods that could be recording units. Plugging one into a matching slot starts a playback of Pasc's log. Ebullient, Johnson sees Pasc and Etrec outside the techlab, being escorted to the Medical Section. He calls them over to witness the discovery.
