The Revocation Attack
- Meanwhile: Xiu Xiang and Lena are in a self-driving car. Because of the riot, the self-driving car won't let them into some of the places where they want to go. (This chapter actually rewinds, so we see what Xiu Xiang and Lena have been doing this whole evening/riot.)
- Juan calls to say everything is fine, but Lena has her doubts. After all, if someone got their hands on Juan and his wearable computers, they could fake a call from him.
- Because the car is self-driving, it won't let Lena and Xiu go where they want it to. So Xiu takes out something like her transport tray, except this one she made specifically to destroy things. So she cuts into the car and it stops close to where they want to go.
- Meanwhile: Alfred takes stock of his situation.
- (Also, here we learn that Mitsuri pretended to be the police when the Elder Cabal tried to call. So Miri was right to be doubtful.)
- At this time, an analysis team in Moscow-Capetown says that data from one area of the GenGen labs is corrupt—and that's not Alfred's doing. It's probably Rabbit's.
- When Alfred realizes that Miri Gu is down in the labs again, the spies get even more worried about Rabbit. They decide to stop Credit Suisse. Which will stop Rabbit and, oh yeah, about 10% of the European economy.
- Now Alfred turns on two other secret plans: the "fruit-fly scam" and the destroy-the-lab plan. Also, he turns on the plan to ship out some useful material through the UP/Express launcher.
- Meanwhile: Robert and Miri Gu are going back into the biotech labs to defeat Alfred.
- During their conversation, Robert realizes that Miri was one of the people controlling Sharif. Whoops.
- She also says that she did it all to help him and she references everyone in the Miri Gang (except for Lena). So now Robert realizes how many people were manipulating him—and trying to help him. Which is pretty meaningful—even a colossal jerk like Robert can recognize that.
