When Charlie tracks down his soulmate Gemma standing awestruck on a dry up lake bed after witnessing the water disappear, he tells her about 01 Boxer's ability to use water as a medium to travel between universes, and wins her trust by convincing her that he, too, is a Vexcor employee. When Gemma reports the phenomenon, and the rumours about 01 to Julius Galt, she starts to doubt her boss has the company's best interests at heart. So she teams with Lubinsky in an ill-fated plan to help Charlie break into Galt's boardroom to search for answers. After a long convalescence in Gammaverse, 01 returns to Betaverse to find that his absence has made him the prime suspect in the death of the bar patron that was killed in the same gunfire that wounded him.
