Beebs asks Shrike if they're cut out of the mercenary life because of the previous mission. He says he couldn't stop thinking about what happened to the Lythops, even though the incident wasn't his fault. He still worries about Puntiagudo but Shrike says he can't look back on the past after he says not everyone has regrets, despite his body language saying otherwise until they get a distress call from the Cat Scratch Gang. Meanwhile, on the Bucket, Beebs is playing guitar while trying to contact someone at the same time after being told about fungal plant-like creatures known as the Agari who were victims of a disastrous event known as the Cataclysm. As he plays the guitar, he meets a mushroom-like creature named Us, who explains about Scratch accidentally shooting its friend, Them, with a missile, making Us and Them get separated. Beebs agrees to help while he and his friends escape from a base to the Bucket to stop Them from corrupting it. . . .
