Malakat and Shersheba attempt to unleash the power of the pyramid but are told by the Shalamorn hologram that the Ankh must be "prepared" first. Praxis resorts to using an experimental procedure to keep a deteriorating Neri alive. Paul bates locates the blueprints to the Praxis bunker and a rescue plan is devised. Malakat figures out that the secret to re-energising the Ankh lies in the Outback cave. Using H.E.L.E.N., Winston and Cass are able to hack into Praxis computers and flood the facility forcing an evacuation. In the ensuing confusion, Agent Hauser helps Neri escape and turns her over to Jason and Brett who were able to enter the bunker through the flooded aqueduct.
