Jul and his forces have managed to repel the Sentinels, and he uses the opening to order his flagship ''[[Song of Retribution]]'' to attack. It fires into the Record, disrupting power across the station. Palmer's containment field falls, and the Custodian Sentinel's mind transfer is interrupted, leaving the droid damaged. Halsey flees to her portal while Palmer shoots at her but misses, the doctor escaping and vanishing. But to her surprise, she lands on top of the shell of the now reactivated Custodian, who has regained control and catches her. It tells her that her performance in its previous test was excellent, but her impatience that led to her hijacking him means he now denies her further access to the Record even though she had nearly earned it. Halsey protests in vain that the Janus Key is Librarian's gift to her, but the Custodian makes it vanish. | Jul and his forces have managed to repel the Sentinels, and he uses the opening to order his flagship ''[[Song of Retribution]]'' to attack.

Palmer regroups with the others, but they see the Record is suddenly disappearing into slipspace portals. Urgent to escape, Glassman recalls coordinates from the Custodian's examination, which appeared to tell him where Jul's ship carrying all his artifacts is docked. Jul's forces flee the Record aboard the ''Retribution'', recovering Halsey in the process. | Palmer regroups with the others, but they see the Record is suddenly disappearing into slipspace portals.

Aboard the ''Annihilation'', Sali 'Nyon's warriors rally and celebrate their capture of the ship and Jul's vault. They notice an odd sound, but Ayit passes it off as a sign of the gods and distracts them. They continue rejoicing as Ayit investigates, finding the just-teleported Palmer, Tanaka, and Glassman, who he helps hide. | Aboard the ''Annihilation'', Sali 'Nyon's warriors rally and celebrate their capture of the ship and Jul's vault.
