*[[PerrickParik|The Californian]]

*[[PerrickParik]]

Lifeforce enters Perrick’sParik’s lab, which holds several Epic tissue samples and other research. PerrickParik greets Lifeforce, and they discuss the broken remnants of Jax’s sword, which Lifeforce shattered using the stolen Epic powers of Shiversting. They discuss Jax, and PerrickParik praises his intelligence and explains the reversed Mitosis motivator to Lifeforce. It is revealed that Lifeforce and PerrickParik have been experimenting to give Lifeforce powers from other Epics. Lifeforce cuts off his hand, replacing it with the severed hand of the dead Epic Liquidyne. PerrickParik injects Lifeforce with a serum, and Lifeforce fuses the new hand to his arm. Lifeforce uses Liquidyne’s power, and melts a book using the power. Then the hand itself melts, leaving Lifeforce unable to use the power. Lifeforce attempts to heal his hand, and the healing stops halfway through. Lifeforce tries using a different prisoner to heal, and this time his hand heals successfully. Lifeforce, worried, cuts himself on the arm, and it heals normally. Troubled, Lifeforce leaves the lab.

*[[PerrickParik]]

As Wade works on planning their route, the others discuss what to do with the prisoners in the tubes. They set out through the tunnels under the palace, following Wade’s route. They enter Perrick’sParik’s lab where their equipment is. There are several drawers, each one labeled with an Epic’s name. With Wade’s help, they retrieve their items and scorchnotes from a compartment. Wade opens one of the Epic drawers for Jax, and inside are blood samples, files, and a severed finger. Jax takes one of the samples, then has Wade open Languish’s drawer, which is packed with DNA samples and files. His file says his weakness is “knowledge”. Wade reports that the Ravens have damaged the Wingflare motivator’s antenna, and that they’ll have to be on Lux to control its movements. They realize that they’ll have to go down with the city. They hear a noise, and they discover Dr. PerrickParik hiding in one of the cabinets. Hershel punches PerrickParik in the face, and Paige reminds Hershel that he’s harming the prisoners in the tubes. They grab the files on both Wingflare and Cloudbreaker, then hurry towards the ladder station, carrying PerrickParik with them.

They arrive at the ladder drop point, and Jax demands that PerrickParik explain Languish’s weakness. He threatens to drop PerrickParik off the edge of Lux, saying that Lifeforce’s healing range can only extend so far. PerrickParik reveals that Languish thinks he can’t dampen Lifeforce, and that this is why Languish has never revolted against him. PerrickParik says that their efforts are futile, and that Languish will never help them. Angry because PerrickParik caused Zeff’s death, Jax drops PerrickParik over the edge. Paige grabs PerrickParik just in time, hauling him back up. Paige says that they aren’t murderers, and shouldn’t kill him. At Hershel’s suggestion, they end up lowering PerrickParik three-quarters of the way down on the ladder, saying that if he’s strong, he can climb back up.

The Reckoners decide to kidnap Languish. While Wade works on analyzing Languish’s security detail, Hershel gives Jax Perrick’sParik’s files on Wingflare, which is largely made up of journal entries from Wingflare’s childhood. He finds out that Wingflare has a disease that makes her bones brittle and breakable, and was very sheltered from anything that could be dangerous to her. Hershel and Jake deduce that her weakness is her brittle bones, and that breaking her bones would enable them to kill her. Using the fathom motivator, they survey Languish’s compound, which is a heavily guarded hotel. After a lot of discussion, Jax decides that the only way to get in is to drive a motorcycle off a ramp in a nearby building and through one of the hotel windows.

Lifeforce enters his lab, and discovers that the Reckoners have kidnapped PerrickParik. The city shakes again, and Lifeforce opens Wingflare’s drawer. For two hours, Lifeforce experiments with the DNA, desperately working. Lux starts to fall in earnest. Lifeforce grabs three syringes with Wingflare’s modified DNA, then injects all three into himself. The injections work, and Lifeforce uses Wingflare’s power, grabbing hold of Lux as it falls.
