  • Zombie's still getting better, but he's been moved to a new wing.
  • He keeps thinking about how sleeper aliens were responsible for attacking the military base.
  • Even as he heals, Zombie's losing faith in humanity's odds for surviving. What's the point, anyway?
  • Zombie loses his sister's locket. He decides to quit life. He stops eating and everything.
  • Just before he's about to die, Zombie is visited by a soldier. It's Vosch. Turns out he's the commander of this base.
  • Vosch was one of the guys who killed Cassie's dad, so he's a bad guy. Right? This is confusing.
  • He gives Zombie the locket. Guess it wasn't lost after all.
  • Vosch tells Zombie his own kids are dead. Bummer.
  • Vosch wonders why the aliens wanted humanity dead so quickly. His theory is that they wanted to squash hope.
  • Vosch points out there are human survivors, though. He intends to lead their fight back against the aliens.
  • His secret weapon is going to be Zombie. Vosch plans to train him hard and release him in the fight against the aliens.
