Xoni takes the lead in explaining to the lovers what has been going on in their absence and why the Starfinders were brought in. She hopes they will try to help their community learn to put prejudices aside and stay open to learning that the Red Corridor folks might not be the cause of all their troubles.
With no other option, the masked Kasatha starts to talk My name is Hynes, I am a scientist. the Kasatha explain, then starts a lengthy explanation you have destroyed years of careful research! I was building the ultimate animal, genetically engineered, trained only to serve, to be the perfect combat trained weapons, capable of attacking, tracking, and herding specified targets.
Nobody believed in my research! Unethical! Unsafe! Illegal! They said. I have retreated here, to perform my field tests. People get harmed, is what they said. What is a bit of harm in the name of progress? Irrelevant, that's what it is.
But now, there was this power outage, and you intruded he says, pointing at Rahosa and Nindir and everything is gone now!

"Tell it to a judge," Xoni deadpans, keeping her weapons ready to escort him to the authorities.
Captain Xogathu and Ehu Hadif listen with amazement at the story of the secret underground lab That's worthy of a recommendation the captain says Exceptional work indeed Ehu says I hope this shows the high standards that we hold ourselves to.
Just before they depart, the team is invited to a formal ceremony dinner aboard the Idari, where the Doyenate present them with the highest accolades.
Doyenate’s legal system begins the process of investigating the many charges against Hynes, the evil scientist, which include unethical and illegal experimentation on animals, unauthorized imports of live cargo, creating dangerous conditions that harmed other Idari residents, and failing to report deaths aboard the ship.
Cohomir is overjoyed to see his daughter again, embracing her and weeping openly. At first, he’s cold to Rahosa, but once Rahosa has the chance to tell his side of the story, Cohomir grudgingly begins to accept the relationship. My chosen way of living might seem unappealing to a young person like my daughter he says but it might just be me being afraid afraid of losing her. Now, Nindir has the option of remaining at home for awhile until she’s saved up some money or eloping with Rahosa right away. Regardless, she and her family stay in touch rather than becoming estranged. Cohomir’s prejudice against the people of the Red Corridors erodes as he gets to know Rahosa, and he spreads his changing beliefs to many of his neighbors.
