Chapter 15 Summary

Jazz tells Dale she is going back for Loretta. When she does, Jazz yells at Loretta and tells her she needs to leave. Loretta is confident that she can fix the smelter. Jazz tries to explain to her that it is impossible, but she won’t listen. Instead, Loretta realizes that this mask-wearing, dirty stranger is the saboteur threatening her life’s work. Jazz and Loretta fight, but Jazz seizes a break in the action to show Loretta that that the smelter is about to blow up. The two sprint to the rover. Jazz and Dale don’t have time to detach their makeshift hallway properly but instead use the rover to pull it off. The group makes it away just in time; the explosion is so loud they can hear it from the rover. They call Svoboda and Ammar but neither answers, nor does Bob. In desperation, they at last call Rudy. When he doesn’t answer, they know something has gone horribly wrong.

They make it back to Artemis and the train dock. All the Sanchez employees are passed out on the floor of the train. Jazz, Dale, and Loretta discuss the situation and realize that the explosion caused the smelting facility’s venting gases to flow into Artemis: Jazz has chloroformed the entire population.
