In the midst of the battle, we learn that the "four-legged freak" has been spotted by the Haighs detector, which is supposed to pick up anything that's over a certain distance. We learn that it's the "emperor of rebeacon" , and that he's inside a giant box made of "mega structure" . He's using an "amb" to kill the emperor, and he wants to know what's going on with rinai and the ambs. . They're not in the box, but they're in contact with "etherow," which means that they can't be killed using an anamb, even if it means firing through the mega structure. The ambs aren't there, and they've made contact with the etherow because they know that it would be impossible to kill them using an amm even if they fired through the giant structure. They know that the emperor has dodged them many times, and now they have a "hole" in the giant box, which means they can kill all of the emperors with their "ambs." .
