The automaton tells us that he's recovered a bit of his body. He's not sure how long it'll take for him to recover, but he wants to be sure that the enemy doesn't find their hideout and steal their ambs. He wants to make sure that they don't do anything rash. He also wants to know if they're ready to attack the empire. The automaton says that they need more soldiers, and that he needs to be strengthened with a placenta. He says that the messenger of the god has opened an entrance for him. The messenger says that a frame disease patient has come out of the automaton's stomach, and the automaton says he'll lead an army to overthrow the emperor. He asks the messenger if he knows what the messenger is carrying, and he says that he has been serving the emperor since he was "flesh and blood" hundreds of years ago. He tells the messenger that they've come to find a way to defeat the emperor's army. They're carrying a "gargan tuan" , which means "something to search for," and the messenger says it's a search device, not a weapon. He then asks if the messenger has come here to find the ambs, but the messenger replies that he hasn't yet figured out what they should do. He points out that the emperor has already given permission for them to do so.
