Zahn gets his lantern shutters opened again, and he and Olivia find themselves surrounded by petrified Skeeks – all frozen in the middle of some mundane activity. Aside from having glass eyes, they seem perfectly preserved. The nearest, a black furred man, is pointing up towards the entrance to the shaft – at least until Zahn knocks him over after giving him a poke. The fall doesn't cause any harm, aside from making Olivia yelp. She soon discovers that the glass-covered skull glows whenever it gets close to one of the statues.

They move to the next spoke on that level, which is full of racks of glass jars (and lots of broken glass). Some of the jars have the fist-squeezing-a-stone symbol on them, and Olivia's found skull glows when near them. Zahn gets one open and spots some red glittery dust inside. With one of Olivia's hankies, he collects a sample before turning the jar over to Olivia. The Skeek puts the skull inside it out of curiosity, and finds that it floats in the middle of the jar!

Just then, the constant rhythmic beat that is always running through the floor stops, and Zahn turns towards the shaft to see the black Skeek statue he knocked over is standing there now, pointing towards the exit on the upper level. Taking this as a sign, they pair decide to leave. But when Olivia tries to pass the frozen Skeek, it suddenly grabs her by the arm and whispers into her ear before collapsing into dust. The beating starts again after that.

Olivia relates that it told her, "She's waiting for you at the bleeding stone," but nothing more useful. Despite the weirdness, they decide to check out the last spoke on that level before leaving.
