Neri awakes to find Kal missing and quickly determines he's gone back to ORCA. Jason and Brett introduce Kal to Diane and Winston who have both been eager to meet him. Shortly after, Neri arrives and tells Diane about UBRI's plans to use explosives on the ocean floor as part of their construction work. Diane is not happy about this and takes the issue before the tribunal. Unfortunately, they rule in favour of UBRI and allow the blasting to proceed. Neri senses something is wrong with the oceans but cannot be more specific. At Kal's suggestion, Jason and Brett begin searching H.E.L.E.N. for reports of UFOs and meteorite impacts that may help them locate the Synchronium pieces. Successful in their search, Jason, Brett, and Neri venture inland to a location pinpointed by Kal and retrieve the first piece of Synchronium. Meanwhile, curious about her father's work, Lena accesses his locked computer files and Kal bests Benny, the junior champion, in a game of trigammono.
