== Chapter 7 ==
Finishing his story of how he met Melhi, Sophie tries to convince Kai to not fight the robot, telling him that Maltese is a world with some future technology, and so Melhi's robot will work while Kai's fantasy magic won't. Kai explains that he has to fight the robot, because he needs to know if all of his accomplishments were because of the Wode or because of his personal skill. Kai tries to convince Sophie to stay at a safe distance, but she refuses and instead offers her hacking skills. Kai asks if Sophie can hack Maltese so his magic would work, and she agrees she'll try, though she's skeptical it will work.
They plan to move past the robot and reach its original entry point for Sophie to begin hacking. They get in a car and speed their way there. Sophie hacks Kai's gun to reload it and make it fire bullets, which he uses to get the robot's attention. Reaching their destination, Sophie quickly hacks to make Lancing function, though she can't promise it'll work the same way Kai is used to. Kai quickly moves Sophie to safety before taking on the robot.
Like Sophie suspected, Lancing does not work the same way Kai is used to. Now it allows Kai to draw heat, specifically, rather than energy. In addition, Kai is unable to do anything with the heat he absorbs, it dissipating before he can. Kai takes a few moments to experiment. He realizes that the use of hacks, of things that don't belong in the State naturally, causes the storm to grow in intensity. This, combined with his ability to absorb heat, allows him to defeat the robot. By absorbing heat, Kai can make it rain harder, soaking the robot. He can then absorb large amounts of heat from the rain water to freeze it inside the robot, causing it to expand and tear the robot apart.
With the robot defeated, Kai looks to Sophie, only to see her pull her handgun to her head and commit suicide. Moving over to her body, Kai notices writing on the ground from Melhi, explaining that Sophie was the perfect robot, and that Melhi breaking Kai's heart was payment for whatever had cause Melhi to dislike Kai in the first place.
