The conflict with Vega comes to a head. Caelum seeks shelter with “Freelancer” and Gavin, but Vega appears. He and Gavin fight, with Vega ultimately losing. Gavin sends him to the Department to face punishment. Gavin and Caelum go to the home where Caelum first found Vega and discover Ivan and the applicant. Gavin incapacitates Ivan and calls the Department to the scene so that both the applicant and Ivan’s memories can be modified to a time before they were affected by Vega. Gavin receives a proverbial slap of the wrist but returns to “Freelancer” without incident.
