Episode 3- A New Covenant

Pan arrives at Atlas Station and steps off the sub to meet two Atlas security guards. One of them, Jax, has a squidgun with the CRS unit covered. The guards lead Pan to Ken Hoffman, Director of Operations of Atlas Station.

On the way there, while walking through one of the stations bazaars, a bottle of urine is thrown toward their group. Pan pursues and subdues the recombined thrower, Dave, who is well known on the station for his behavior. Pan and Jax continue on to Hoffman, who is found in a public garden.

Pan and Hoffman discuss Peter Böcklin, the man she is tasked to find. Hoffman says he was at Atlas but insists that he eventually reboarded his ship and left. Pan is not so sure. It is explained that tritons and humans agreed to a gene sharing program to benefit both species. It is believed Böcklin was at the station for this reason. Pan wants to meet with a triton emissary named Asia Marsh to ask about Böcklin. Hoffman expresses his concern about this but says he can set up the meeting for the following day.
