Upon Returning to the Roanoke, Rachel is detained and interrogated along with Yoshiro, by a determined Maxwell, who has come to believe that much of what has happened is still an elaborate deception by the AEA.  But the mysterious video that Felx discovered gives Rachel other ideas.  Seeing the form that the aliens can take gives her insight into their nature and she begins to form a picture.  But the beings Rachel describes seem very different than the beast that threatened the crew.  This now appears to be something else.  But the beings are curious about both it and them and they are pumping Sally for answers in ways that strain her very sanity.
