Page 30 follows Ventrik alone inside one of Scylla’s organic tunnel openings. In the first panel, the view looks back into the chamber where Tanya has been pushed into Scylla's tendrils. Seen over Ventrik’s right shoulder, he bends down to pick up the tablet Tanya had been carrying. The screen shows a self-image of Tanya, fitter and more athletic, with the gray cloud of whirling fangs that is Scylla beginning to envelop her from behind.

The second panel is a close view of the tablet in Ventrik’s hands. Tanya’s image on the Net is being shredded by Scylla. Her eyes remain on an arc of digitized squares, like one of the last figments of her, while a long scream trails across the panel.

In the third panel, Ventrik faces the tablet directly. His expression remains calm and analytical. His augmented glove rests against the tablet while a yellow caption box reads, “Identity destruction? But slower than the real? Something spiritual even?”

In the fourth panel, Ventrik turns the tablet off with a click. The green glow fades against his hand as he stands within the organic tunnel.

The final panel shows Ventrik’s silhouette outlined in faint purple light as he moves deeper into the dark passage, carrying the tablet. A yellow caption box reads, “Perhaps something to explore closer to the source? Maybe.”
