Anderson arrives the following day, staying on a ship nearby. The Omega Point group prepares for battle as, elsewhere on base, the civilians who have joined them ready themselves as well. Juliette and Kenji, assuming Anderson will not expect an attack from invisible combatants, plan to board the ship and find Anderson. Warner and the rest of the Omega Point group will oversee the soldiers. They prepare to go.

Kenji and Juliette bid farewell to a teary James. Juliette promises they will all return, though she knows this is likely to be a lie. She and Kenji walk, invisible, to the port where they find Anderson’s enormous ship. They strategize about how to infiltrate the ship, which is defended with an uncommonly large force. Juliette uses her powers to knock the soldiers into the water from a distance, then the pair hurries onto the ship before a lockdown begins. Sirens start to wail.

Juliette loses Kenji in the hallways of the ship. She whispers for Kenji as soldiers approach but can’t find him. She hides in a doorway as the soldiers pass, then continues, realizing she has become visible again. She feels stupid and afraid of facing Anderson alone, but gathers her powers, which gives her confidence.
