Gideon lands at the home of Nicodemus with a new-found determination to take over the world. Inside he meets with Absalom, Nicodemus, Saul, and Burke; high-lords in the order of the Externals. Gideon remarks that each man felt a certain something a short time ago. He then admits to having made a mistake in thinking Sunspot was an External. Absalom is furious that such a mistake could happen; the others just want the situation rectified. Gideon has a plan: bring in Crule, a rogue high-lord. Either he will successfully get the high-lord without linking anything to the cabal of Externals, or he will fail and no one will be the wiser. Burke, however, is wary. What if Krule simply alerts Cable to the existence of the Externals. At dinner, Nicodemus asks what will be done with Sunspot now that he is not one of the immortals. Gideon simply states that he will definitely die, and sooner than he may have expected.
