"Freelancer" competes in the Qualifiers for the Elemental and Energetic Games. No non-competitors can be present due to the stricter policies resulting from the containment breaches, meaning Gavin can't be present, but as volunteer-staff, Lasko is exempt. Damien and Huxley are stuck in their onboarding during "Freelancer"'s Qualifier performance. Lasko is able to stay on-hand to support "Freelancer", though. "Freelancer" performs well and qualifies for the D.A.M.N. team.
