In this chapter, Tommo explains that he has lost track of his heart, which means he has to find out where it is and what it is doing. He also says that the battle has gotten a lot of attention because of the predictions of the platform. He says that he'll let the reader know if he finds anything else. He tells us that he was asked to fix the Serga's nose by Horner, and that he knows a great surgeon who will do it for him. Horner asked him to do it because he was fighting a Serga, and he says that Serga beat him because he laughed at him. It's because of this that he joined the army, and now he thinks he's going to disband.
