In the fourth chapter, Uriel, equipped with her Ares IV combat suit, is thrust into the dense forests of Moldavia for a mission that rapidly escalates into an international incident. The hermaphrodite Lieutenant grapples with genetically mutated beings known as Voivod-11s, which are revealed to be human slaves, not robots as initially believed. The high-stakes standoff culminates in a tense negotiation between the EU President and a Russian General, where Uriel's fierce presence is pivotal. Despite the geopolitical chess game unfolding around her, the chapter concludes with Uriel returning to the familiarity of her domestic life, reflecting on the vastness of the political game she's a part of.
