Beginning the morning after the previous chapter, [[Pandora]] asks [[Isabelle Monday|Isabelle]] what her purpose is<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/07/chapter-3-page-1/</ref>. Monopolith's [[Helper programming|brainwashing program]] told Pandora her purpose is to serve, but Isabelle doesn't want Pandora to serve her, leaving her unsure what she is for instead<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/08/chapter-3-page-2/</ref>.

Later that day, Pandora and Isabelle arrive at the burlesque dance club [[O, Fortuna]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/10/chapter-3-page-4/</ref>, which [[Veronica Fortuna]] owns and uses as a front for the [[Pioneer City]] [[The Resistance|Resistance]]. Isabelle reflects with [[Con Yung]] on her current situation, while [[Zero Angiers]] denies being a cavefish<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/11/chapter-3-page-5/</ref>. VeronicaMiss Fortuna offers Pandora a job as a waitress<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/12/chapter-3-page-6/</ref>, and instructs [[Lyra Lujic]] to train Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/13/chapter-3-page-7/</ref>.

VeronicaMiss Fortuna explains to the other resistance members that "[[stray]]" (i.e. escaped) [[Helper|Helpers]] are common in [[Atom City]], and suggests telling people that Pandora is a stray as a cover story<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/14/chapter-3-page-8/</ref>.

The resistance expects a [[The Courier|courier]] to deliver an important package that night. VeronicaMiss Fortuna assigns Isabelle, [[Tallulah Zaragoza]], and [[Zufolene]] to distract prying eyes by dancing while the rest of the resistance deals with the courier<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/15/chapter-3-page-9/</ref>.

Isabelle introduces Pandora to [[Hemmel]], the leader of the Pioneer City Resistance, and [[Natalya Ustrashkina]], their second-in-command<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/16/chapter-3-page-10/</ref>. Pandora approaches Hemmel and asks to join the resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/17/chapter-3-page-11/</ref>, but she is unable to articulate why she wants to join<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/18/chapter-3-page-12/</ref>. Zero says Helpers shouldn't be allowed in the resistance due to them not being [[Human|human]], but Hemmel and Natalya scold Zero, reminding her the resistance exists to fight for the oppressed<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/19/chapter-3-page-13/</ref>.

Pandora and Lyra hear the [[Bookends]], a trio of customers, make [[enby:Cissexism|transphobic]] comments about Isabelle, which Pandora and Lyra scold them for<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/21/chapter-3-page-15/</ref>. Pandora gushes about how great Isabelle is, and nearly says that Isabelle is her mistress, but Isabelle interjects that she is Pandora's sister<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/22/chapter-3-page-16/</ref>, as the Bookends could be suspicious if they think a poor person owns a helper<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/23/chapter-3-page-17/</ref>.

While Isabelle dances<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/24/chapter-3-page-18/</ref>, Con alerts VeronicaMiss Fortuna to the presence of a cop<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/26/chapter-3-page-20/</ref>, and Isabelle prepares to deal with him while Pandora watches nervously<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/27/chapter-3-page-21/</ref>.
