John Keane has resumed his lectures at the University, but is concealing his continuing flashbacks of his illness and meeting with the old man, as well as the drying up of his research.
His lecture one morning is interrupted by the news that there has been an accident at Meniscus Research Laboratories. The head of Lab Dr Trescothick has been fatally injured, prior to a visit to the University that afternoon.
Then news from the vice-chancellor Wendy lockinge sends John Keane into a state of shock where he is only able to remember and play a game of chess in his mind, triggered by a remark by his current department head Montague Beamer.
He struggles through the meeting that afternoon, but is dreading having to attend the funeral of Dr Trescothick.
