Infiltration specialist Lucas Hammilton has meanwhile traveled to Capra upon learning that one of his operatives there has died in a suspicious traffic accident. En route aboard the ''[[Mammoth]]''-class merchant vessel ''[[Traumhändler]]'' he discovers the ship to be a slave trader, and manages to commandeer it with the help of the freed slaves. On Capra, Lucas finds the HPG station's critical components were not destroyed after all. He deducts the bomb had apparently been designed to harm the Silent Reapers, not the HPG itself. Before long he is lured into a trap and captured near a warehouse that he has identified as a House Sandoval safe house. He escapes from captivity, but is wounded and decides to seek the help of the local [[yakuza]]. Returning to the warehouse two weeks later with yakuza soldiers, he finds it empty save for a desk with a written note to him: House Sandoval claim they have been misled just as he has been, and offer to work together.

Still on Laurieston after the heist, on 21 October the Silent Reapers learn of the [[Scouring of Outreach]] through [[INN]] newscasts and that the Word of Blake is suspected to be behind it. They are concerned, but feel that they are not immediately affected since most of their contracts are off-the-record, and their [[MRBC rating]] was probably low anyways. But General McFaris and his daughter also receive a parcel containing Sakumoto's index finger and a note ordering them to stop searching. At this they order a hasty retreat from Laurieston and relocate to the city of Samarand, the former capital 600 km away and featuring another spaceport, while Anori investigates into three mysterious corpses that arrived at the morgue but never made the news. In the morgue, she and Jim Morgenstern encounter four other men who initially draw guns on them, then mysteriously seem to kill themselves with suicide pills. Their weapons indicate them to be [[ComStar]] [[ROM]] operatives. Two of the corpses in the morgue show clear marks of having been killed by Sakumoto, confirming them to be two of the unknown attackers; the third has no such marks. At the provisional base in Samarand, Anori finds her father murdered in his office on 27 October. The DropShip ''O'Cavanaughs Gold'' arrives two weeks early on 1 November under a false identity and fakes technical problems to be rerouted to the Samarand spaceport, to exfiltrate the Silent Reapers. However, the DropShip is attacked by ''[[Hammerhead (Aerospace Fighter class)|Hammerhead]]'' [[aerospace fighter]]s and [[Partisan]] AA tanks, and the crew has to evacuate over the city in altogether eleven escape pods; Captain O'Cavanaugh manages to move the ship away from the inhabited are and it eventually crashes into a mountain range. Anori McFaris is now the general in command of the Silent Reapers, but feels she cannot trust any unit members who were on Laurieston with her. XO Konstanze Schubert meanwhile delivers a message from their employer, signed by one [[Apollyon]], who demands the data from the Lakegaard Chemicals raid be handed over by the end of the month, or the mercenaries will have defaulted on their contracted mission, but Anori instead concentrates their efforts on locating and rescuing Sakumoto. Juan McFaris' killer meanwhile, under orders from the Word of Blake, resolves to coerce Brantling into sharing the Lakegaard data that he is still trying to decipher.

Back on Capra, Lucas Hammilton tries to find a middle ground to work with both his yakuza contacts and the Sandovals. His contact person with House Sandoval, Hellena Sartras, provides evidence that bank records were expertly forged to indicate House Sandoval paid the Silent Reapers for the Capra mission from one of their accounts; the bank statements for the real account do not list the transaction. However, tracing the money flows back leads nowhere. For a lack of other options they infiltrate the HPG compound. Just as Hammilton reports to Hasiguche, the yakuza leader, that they had found none other than the Word of Blake to be behind the account transactions, the yakuza hideout is overrun. The Silent Reapers' former liaison officer for the attack on the HPG and the capture of the Precentor is leading the attack that decimates the yakuza. Falsely believing Lucas dead, she briefly ignores him which allows him to shoot her. In the aftermath, Lucas is briefly held captive by yakuza bouncer Yuuri and determines he must have been in league with the attackers. A House Sandoval team under Sartras rescues Lucas from captivity, and together they track Yuuri to the secret Word of Blake base. On 1 December they assault and seize the base. Five days later, they openly approach the new ComStar Precentor with proof of the Silent Reapers' innocence and Word of Blake duplicity.
