-	In station seven Horza send Unaha-Closp away to search the repair area and its train. The station was searched except for the main station train's reactor car; [[Wubslin]] could not get the car doors to open. [[Yalson]] recalled the drone from the repair area. On the way back to the main station it felt a very faint draft which it believed was caused by the now-active ventilation system. Horza sent it to try and gain entry into the reactor car. The drone's small size allowed it to enter the car via a cable conduit. It had to cut wires away which caused Horza some alarm. The [[Bora Horza Gobuchul (Mind)\|Mind]] was hiding where the reactor used to be and detected the drone moving beneath the reactor space.<ref name="PhlebasCh12"/>	+	In station seven Horza send Unaha-Closp away to search the repair area and its train.

-	As station six's train, activated by [[Quayanorl]], approached station seven, the collision alarm aboard station seven's train sounded. Only Unaha-Closp heard despite being deep in the reactor car. It did not immediately realize what it was hearing and only belatedly warned the Company, by which time very strong winds were sweeping through the station. The drone raced out of the carriage and exited by blowing out a hatch. It exited at the same time as the Mind and both were caught in the crossfire between an escaped [[Xoxarle]] and the Company. The drone evaded but the Mind was struck and disabled. Unaha-Closp planted itself on the ceiling to avoid the train collision below.<ref name="PhlebasCh12"/>	+	As station six's train, activated by [[Quayanorl]], approached station seven, the collision alarm aboard station seven's train sounded.

-	After Horza disappeared into the side tunnel in pursuit of Xoxarle, Unaha-Closp came down to examine the Mind. It was joined by a wounded Balveda who then passed out from the wreck's suffocating fumes. The drone carried her to the station's control room away from the wreck's hazards where she started to come round in the fresher air. They were interrupted by the [[Idiran]]. Unaha-Closp tried to ram the soldier again but this time the Idiran caught the drone in one hand and slammed it into some computer equipment. While Unaha-Closp was stuck in the equipment Xoxarle took Balveda hostage and moved on. The drone freed itself and went in pursuit but initially went in the wrong direction.<ref name="PhlebasCh12"/>	+	After Horza disappeared into the side tunnel in pursuit of Xoxarle, Unaha-Closp came down to examine the Mind.

		+	Unaha-Closp realized the error the sounds it was tracking started coming from the opposite direction. By the time it turned around Horza and [[Xoxarle]] were already engaged hand-to-hand in the tunnel beyond the maintenance area. It passed [[Balveda]] on the maintenance area's catwalk and powered into the tunnel. The drone struck Xoxarle in time to prevent the Idiran from shooting the Changer with the laser rifle. the drone was crippled when Xoxarle struck back with an arm and bounced it off the wall. The Idiran then used the drone as a club to disable Horza. While Xoxarle was occupied Balveda arrived and killed it with a [[memoryform]] [[plasma gun]].<ref name="PhlebasCh13"/>

		+	Unaha-Closp could still float but was unable to communicate with Balveda. The [[Culture]] agent fashioned a stretcher on the drone and used it to carry a gravely wounded Horza back to ''[[Clear Air Turbulence]]'' on the surface. However, the Changer died before they could return to the ship.<ref name="PhlebasCh13"/>
