Plot
River Zastory cannot accept that Train Heartnet won and insists on resuming the fight. Eve, much to Train's surprise, reminds him that he was the one who set the rule and that a sweeper does not kill, so a death match is not an appropriate test of skills. Train then uses the Rail gun, but purposely misses River. Everyone is shocked at this ability. Realizing that Train had such an ace up his sleeve but never used it, River begrudgingly admits that Train won.

Having won, Train demands the information Glin has on Creed Diskenth. Glin introduces himself first, then states that he runs an intelligence service and is looking for the best sweepers to form an alliance to defeat the Apostles of the Stars together. He reveals that he has invited about forty sweepers to join, but wants to whittle them down to the best of the best. He invites Train and Eve to join and gives them a disk that not only contains the location of the Alliance's first meeting, but also a program that only the best sweepers will be able to pass and will be part of the Sweeper's Alliance in ten days time.
