"Unprecedented tectonic shifts" is the title of this chapter, which opens with a description of the changes taking place in the world. We learn that adam and Elakshi met months ago at a party, and that they have spent the last few months running away from the authorities. They have been aided only by the mysterious benefactor named "Kittyhawk," who has given them the power of attraction and repulsion to stay away from danger. Adam says he's going to try his luck with the "power of attraction." He wants to find out more about his father's research, which Elakshi gave him, and he wants to learn more about how to control big explosions. He also wants to know if there are any icebergs on the Mediterranean Sea. He asks the European Maritime Safety Agency if there is a deadly fall from the ship without a parachute. He needs to talk to the captain, who is sure that the ship has hit an iceberg. Elakshi and Adam are all dead on the ship.
