She witnesses one of the many absurd martial contests that bloody the city and transcribes everything on a device which sends her article 25 years earlier on a fax from a French newspaper (of which the album offers a facsimile).

Horus uses the body of Ivan, a colleague of Jill's, to approach her, feeling that the young woman has an important role to play through her relationship with Alcide.

John corrects the dosage errors that Jill made in order to restore his chemical balance, keeping the last tablets for himself and considers his relationship with the young woman to be over.
