=== Synopsis ===
{{NeedsExpansion|section=yes}}
Picking up immediately where the previous chapter left off, Echo denies being a [[Cop (disambiguation)|cop]], but refuses to explain the picture of her with the [[Pluto City]] police department.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/11/chapter-10-page-1/</ref> [[Hemmel]] firmly informs Echo that she cannot join [[The Resistance|the resistance]] if she can't explain herself, and that Echo should leave town in the next 24 hours. [[Pandora]] is upset to see Echo go, but relents to Hemmel's explanation that keeping Echo around could be dangerous for the resistance.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/12/chapter-10-page-2/</ref>
The following morning, [[Isabelle Monday|Isabelle]] is happy about the tip she got from [[Belgian Vicky]], while Pandora is still sad about Echo leaving.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/13/chapter-10-page-3/</ref> Isabelle explains to Pandora that she thought in the past about moving to [[Atom City]] and using [[Veronica Fortuna|Miss Fortuna's]] connections there to get a job, but she stayed in Pioneer City because her friends are here. Pandora suspects Echo hasn't left yet, and announces she is going to take a walk.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/14/chapter-10-page-4/</ref>
Back at [[O, Fortuna]]<ref>https://transfem.social/notes/9umk50hi1gz112ft</ref><ref>https://archive.today/FrvvD</ref>, Pandora reminds Echo of her advice about doing what you want to do and not caring what others think. Pandora also says she really wants Echo to stay and that Echo can trust the people here.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/17/chapter-10-page-5/</ref> Echo tells Pandora that there are experiences Helpers have that her human friends will never be able to understand. When Pandora objects, Echo reveals that she has deep scars on her back, and says she doesn't know who gave them to her.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/18/chapter-10-page-6/</ref> Echo explains that she wanted a fresh start away from everyone in her past. Pandora says that the humans she works with try to treat her like one of them, and tearfully wishes Echo goodbye.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/19/chapter-10-page-7/</ref>
Later, at the [[Resistance base|resistance base]]<ref>https://transfem.social/notes/9uqtsaph0bhw0ni0</ref><ref>https://archive.today/oHqv1</ref>, Zero Angiers is DMing ''[[Land of Legends: Lost]]'', a tabletop RPG, for Isabelle, Hemmel, Con, and [[Natalya Ustrashkina]]. Pandora says she's looked through the rulebook and found the character she wants to play as.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/20/chapter-10-page-8/</ref> Pandora says she wants to play as a werecat. As Zero and the others argue about whether werecats are appropriate for PCs, Echo enters the room.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/21/chapter-10-page-9/</ref>
As the humans prepare for a possible fight, Echo says she just wants to talk, and explains she circumvented their security by entering through the roof.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/24/chapter-10-page-10/</ref> Echo reveals she found the base by counting turns while she was blindfolded, and that she is here to explain why she was in a photograph with the police.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/25/chapter-10-page-11/</ref>
Echo's earliest memory was of cops finding her near Pluto City, and naming her Echo because she kept repeating their words.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/26/chapter-10-page-12/</ref> Echo felt like she owed the police for saving her, and they started using her on infiltration missions, as nobody suspects a Helper.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/27/chapter-10-page-13/</ref>
=== Trivia ===
{{NeedsExpansion|section=yes}}
* This is the first chapter for which Pandora does not appear on the cover.

* The outfit Echo is wearing when she says "nobody suspects a Helper"<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/27/chapter-10-page-13/</ref> is the same outfit she wore in the first scene of the previous chapter.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2023/09/18/chapter-9-page-1/</ref>
