After coming up from the sub-basment, Dr. Pike shows Zahn to her study where she finds a book on photography to use in an attempt to develop any film left in the camara they discovered. While she goes to work on that, Zahn pokes around. He first finds an anatomy book on 'meta-golems' that just leaves him confused, and moves on to see if there are any more useful books.

He finds a book on First Ones and Expedition technology, which tells him more abou the strange 'metallic glass' coating on the claws of the monster arm they recovered, and some hints that the strange material found in Amelia's ruins might tie the site to the Underground Kingdom. He can't find anything relevant dealing with large burrowing creatures, though.

Zahn also comes across some papers with notes about Pike's research, including a version of the spirit summoning circle, but nothing that causes him alarm.

Pike returns in a bad mood, since all of her careful photo-developing preparations where for nought: the camera turns out to have used tiny homonculi to very quickly 'paint' the images onto glass plates. The plate they recover shows what could be a Skeek with a glowing red eye, or just something Skeek-like. Pike suggests they keep it a secret until they know more.

Zahn explains about his engine project, and asks Pike if she knows of things to help him out. She finds some spark-crystals that might be usuable as an ignition source, and agrees to let Zahn have them in exchange for fixing and improving the large spark-generator she uses in her experiments.

Zahn also learns that Floribunda Pike's nickname is 'Bunny'.
