At the Taelon Embassy, Da'an shows reporters the Taelon Galactic Database. A sniper fires a Pulse Gun that penetrates the virtual glass of the embassy. Liam and Da'an are stunned to see gaping holes in the virtual glass that is impervious to all human weapons. Sandoval and Liam find the Hammerlin CD-57 Pulse Gun and the transducer. Sandoval tells Liam he does not want the media informed. Later, Sandoval informs Zo'or that he has leaked all the information to the media, as per their plan. Augur identifies Scott Pierce from a webcam as the shooter, but discovers that Pierce is a patient at St John's Neurological Centre. On the Mothership, Zo'or transfers his energy into Pierce's comatose body to convince humans to ban energy weapons that could threaten the Taelons.
