Meanwhile, a character called "the soldier" starts to experience strange visions about the aliens. He becomes obsessed with meeting them, but finds it increasingly difficult to come near Alien Beach.

As political tensions build to war between aliens and humans, all groups eventually meet on Alien Beach - the soldier, the scientist and the aliens - and in a final confrontation, they must face themselves and the threat of war.
