They haul some crates of Biomantic gear out of the cave. Hamish kicks one of the crates down the mountain to see if survives the fall. It does not. In horror Apok identifies the broken machinery inside as one of the machine parts they so desperately seek. The symbiont whispers of bloody revenge.

Back in the cave Hamish hears moaning and the chattering of teeth coming from the concrete stairway. He spots bloated walking corpses followed by vicious looking child-sized hamsters wielding sickles. He kills one of the zombies. When the hamsters - wearing skulls and ear necklaces - rush upstairs Hamish retreats. Naida tries to lure them into the path of the heat ray but the hamsters are cunning and too quick. The heroes flee.

They return to the Behemoth Shell where Apok unsuccessfully tries to sell the gear to a Bonemancer and decides to put together a Biomancy experimentation kit instead. Hamish meats Fina di Mesa, a fellow Redlander travelling back to the Violet City. They share fermented goat milk and stories. Impressed by Hamish's reputation as a folk hero Fina reveals that Biomantic gear is in high demand at the Spectrum Run.

Knowing that the cave under the Lurid Pines hold many more crates of the dense commodity the heroes show remarkable entrepreneurial prowess and buy two massive autowagons mounted with turrets and a "handful" (two sacks!) of bone splinter grenades. They decide to take revenge on the cannibal hamsters.
