Jarli and Latani break into Bennelong House. Inside the building they round up the residents. Latani opens a door to an apartment and finds herself face to face with a woman brandishing a knife — it's her mother, Araluen. Koen joins them but the CA are quick to track them down.

Frith watches things unfold on the screen in the ministry war room. She orders that no shots are to be fired. She wants no bloodshed.

Jarli announces to the assembled CA officers, media and Waruu that the land they're all standing on has been stolen from his people, and that he is claiming it back for the Bindawu. Seeing that Jarli won't be swayed, Koen decides to risk using himself as a distraction, saving Araluen, Latani and the other hostages from being massacred.

Koen emerges to the watching eyes of the CA, and his big brother, Waruu. Koen demands negotiation between the government and the Hairies — a treaty to end the genocide. Waruu agrees, and Koen surrenders.

But the fight is not over for Jarli and to his surprise neither is it for Koen. Koen finds himself in a deserted industrial wasteland, face to face with Waruu, he's holding a knife dipped in the liquefied sap and the fight is on.
