| - | Mel, Fal, Ssleestak, K'trl, Phillip, Jessa, and Peel all suffer from some sort of temporal glitch during the night as a possible temporal signature is detected. They all wake up groggy or worse; Fal has trouble transitioning from Ota Verik and his recipes, while Jessa has to correct which memory goes with which host.
