When he is cured, he finds out that Indie has died. The two are in an ocean together, but Indie swims away and leaves him behind. They meet again when the Pilot needs their help finding a cure for a a diease called the Plague which had mutated and was getting out of hand. When he gets there, he goes through an interrogation and is assigned to be a pilot, and he gets separated from Cassia again because she is assigned to help the Rising from within the Society at Central.
