One of the victims will later be identified as Smith, allowing him to "[drop] off the face of the earth" for the next eight months.[16]
- April 23: William Arthur Smith's DEI is successfully implanted. He later awakens at precisely 7:00:00.00, and begins working on the Duplex Recycling disassembly line at precisely 9:00:00.00. Due to his disability, he has great difficulty keeping up with the pace of the other workers.[17] 1011100010 disciplines Smith.[18]

Through it, they have learned of entities called Children of Gaia (or Theurge in their own language).
