In this volume, the Kyrii continues to explore the world, but now with a new companion. This is a welcome addition since it allows for more character dialogue as well as comments about the situation the characters are in. It is with this new companion we get a more solid goal for our characters, find someone with the net gene. We continue to get great vistas of claustrophobic vastness; the building continues as far as the eye can see, but no exit insight.
Now that we know more about the Net Gene, we can assume the "mutation" the characters keep mentioning led to humans lossing this gene. What is interesting is that we had an instant of a human with no mutations in volume 1, the girl that Kyrii was protecting. Implying that she had the net gene. Sadly, she got killed in chapter 1. So, I wonder this point will be revisit in later chapters.
