Their arrival is expected and the Clarissa is destroyed. George is kidnapped by Sekhmet. Sekhmet tells him that his friends are dead and so is the Queen. Sanura returns to apologize to George and help him. But Sekhmet catches her and they find out that he is very much human. Sekhmet turns out to be Sanura's father whom she thought was dead.

Pierre Lenoir wants to avenge his wife's (Sanura's mother) death by the British Empire. He tries to kill George but Sanura leaps in front of George and saves his life, but loses hers. As she dies, Sanura gives George some numbers but he does not know what they mean.

Meanwhile, Brackenreid, Julia, and Murdoch warn the Queen. George arrives and they devise a plan to protect the Queen. Julia is to take the Queen to the vault, Brackenreid to fight the thugs, and George and Murdoch to find the bio-cannon (the source of the deadly spores). Pierre Lenoir ("Sekhmet") shows up.
