The gang heads out to the Western Approach to map the area, pick up shards, and secretly steal all the dirt (hidden in their pants, of course). Cole hears the thoughts of a lost soul and drags everyone out to help them, meeting a woman who tells them about a possible fade rift looming over a city of researchers in the distance.
