Wapp activates the base's automated defenses while he gets angry at Berkhoff for not following his orders - and when he does reveal the truth, no one pays attention. Kochak, who was formerly a member of the military's AT research department, enlists the team's help in a special equation for making a PRL mix that can withstand extreme cold temperatures of at least -250 degrees. As the cold downburst falls and the Balarant forces are caked in permafrost, the team huddles together to keep warm. Wapp pilots a Standing Tortoise to confirm the team's deaths, but his AT explodes as he gloats about his survival. The special PRL in the team's Scopedogs light up once again, confirming Wockam's assumptions that the five men are indeed "abnormal survivors."
