He heads to the bridge to talk strategy with SARA. He then notices his new body to which SARA informs him that he was destroyed. SARA wakes up TOM, who angrily shatters the glass to his activation pod. With TOM dead and the intruder covering nearly half the engine, SARA downloads the TOM matrix into a new body - one that is taller, sleeker and darker: TOM 2. The intruder rushes into the elevator and envelops TOM, who screams as his body is engulfed by the amorphous blob. TOM realizes how futile his efforts are and makes one last attempt to stop it, shooting a powerful charged shot that does nothing more than launching him into the elevator from the recoil. However, the intruder makes its way around the door, keeping it from sealing. TOM begins to break for the elevator, calling SARA to shut the hallway door behind him. He switches his blaster's setting and shoots it with a large amount of electricity, which only enrages the monster. He shoots it with a thermal laser to no effect, retreating when the blob approaches. TOM cocks his blaster and flies around the corner, finding the intruder has grown by a large amount. TOM tells the Clyde to follow him, sending it around the corner to investigate where it is subsequently destroyed by the intruder. On his way, a scared Clyde surprises him when it runs into the back of his head. TOM heads down to confront the intruder once again, this time with his blaster. SARA informs TOM that she's charging his blaster and, to TOM's reluctance, convinces him to confront the blob again as it's eating through the ship at a high rate. Upon arriving, he finds a giant hole leading further down towards the engine. He then goes to investigate the room where he was attacked as the intruder had left the area. TOM reviews the footage of his attack from the previous episode. Upon his return to the Absolution, SARA informs TOM that the intruder has spread to levels 48 and 50 and keeps eating the Clydes, proposing that it might just be hungry.

This causes him to reactivate, though with a noticeably cracked visor, and he requests a jetpack. TOM drifts through space, powered down until he happens to bump into some small meteors. Upon laying eyes on the intruder, it attacks, knocking TOM out and launching him through the hull and into space. Upon arriving, he finds the lights to be out, requesting SARA to turn on the emergency lights. TOM grabs a gun and hops in an elevator to go investigate inside level 49. Since SARA cannot give any conclusive data as to what caused the hole or where it is, TOM patches it with a sheet of metal and decides to investigate inside, unaware a red blob is slowly moving below. TOM sends out the Clydes to investigate, finding a hole in hull of the starboard engine at level 49. In the Ghost Planet Spaceship Absolution's control room, TOM and SARA are in the middle of a conversation when SARA suddenly interrupts to issue an intruder alert.
