Eisenhorn is placed under arrest by the planet's regency government, accusing him of driving Eyclone to Hubris, but he archly informs them that Eyclone arrived on Hubris well ahead of Eisenhorn, and his sabotage of the cryonic cells was no spur-of-the-moment act of spite, but planned in advance. Both pieces of evidence clearly indicate that Eyclone had some higher purpose in coming to Hubris, and it is essential that Eisenhorn discover what that was. The acting governor relents, but insists on [[Adeptus Arbites|Arbites]] [[Chastener]] [[Godwyn Fischig|Fischig]] accompanying Eisenhorn.{{Fn|2c}}
Eyclone's trail takes them to a local tenement block, where they find the last of his hired thugs amusing themselves with a "pleasure girl", who grabs a dropped gun and shoots one of them with it in the ensuing firefight, fancying herself to have saved Eisenhorn's life. Eisenhorn is surprised to realize that the girl, [[Alizebeth Bequin]], is a [[Blank|pariah]], an incredibly rare variant of [[humans]] that have no [[psychic]] imprint, and nullify psychic attacks. Eisenhorn asks her to join his retinue.{{Fn|2d}}
Eyclone's communications logs reveal that he was planning on stowing away on a ship bound for [[Gudrun]], the sector capital, and contain cryptic references to "the Pontius." Eisenhorn's [[savant]], [[Uber Aemos]], rattles off a list of people and places with that name, but one seems too much of a coincidence: [[Pontius Glaw]], one of the sector's most infamous heretics, though he has been dead for centuries, and his family, [[House Glaw]], is still one of the most prominent aristocratic houses on Gudrun.{{Fn|2e}}
