In the thirteenth episode Brennan confirms that Brutus is a Vercadian SOE13·00:38:45.

We learn to fight. We wait and watch" SOE14·01:02:14 SOE14·01:02:26. In the fifteenth episode Sidney repeats the mantra to the Vercadians, and one answers "We're here to collect a contract.

In the sixteenth episode a giant Vercadian protector at the prison exit incinerates the UFTP soldiers in the room, downloads something from the comms station, asks Gunnie for the tech to control droids, stabs a scramble dart into himself, and sets off Sidney's ion grenade in himself SOE16·01:48:03 SOE16·01:48:57 SOE16·01:50:05.
