The Atlas Complex

Li is the second of those chosen by Ezra and a shadowy figure. During a meeting of Ezra’s group regarding Callum and Reina and their attempts to influence politics, both Li and Nothazai notice in the footage that Callum is using Reina to boost his powers; Julian does not notice this. After some arguing, the group forms a plan to target the Nova Corporation, Callum’s family’s business, to pressure Callum into compliance.

However, Li has doubts about the effectiveness of this approach. Li also doubts the information Ezra gave them, as Callum was supposed to be dead. Because of these doubts, Li researched Libby, whom Ezra insisted was not important. They recognize her as the real threat. While the others pursue the Nova Corporation, Li is firm in their belief that Libby is the key to the Society.

Nico notices a shift in Tristan’s behavior since Libby’s return, prompting him to confront Tristan about potential tension between them. Nico and Tristan talk about Libby and Nico’s theory about the experiment and the multiverse. Nico says that, while the ethics are tricky, he wants to try the experiment. Nico and Tristan also talk about their respective relationships, Nico with Gideon and Tristan with Libby.
