As Eden Advance heads towards New Pacifica, they stumble upon a camp of another group - Bennett's. Thanks to the data downloaded to the main computer, they soon learn much about Bennett's group and discover that Eve was working in her own best interest and not theirs. Eden Advance also encounter some Terrians who are sick. Julia reproduces some medicine to help them, and they in turn give her the opportunity to see inside Devon's cells. Members of Eden Advance opt to return to Devon and revive her, however the search continues to find the cause of Devon's illness in the first place.
