In the settlement, as Carter is brutalised for his 'crimes' against the god Neman, the high priest prays over the 'Spirit's' motionless form. The entire tribe is awestruck when, reviving from the stun-ray, it stirs. Carter dashes over, rips the helmet off and reveals its true identity—a mortal man. Under threat of violence, the Darian declares he is "not" a spirit. He offers to lead Carter to his missing comrades and they, with Hadin and the Survivors following, depart for the 'Place of the False Spirits'.
