Chapters 35 and 36 Summary

In Chapter 35, Kovacs is at the beach having a conversation with Semetaire. Semetaire shows Kovacs that he has Kovacs's cortical stack and indirectly tells Kovacs that Kovacs must do what Semetaire says or that he'll end up on the crucifix behind Semetaire. When Kovacs looks at the figure hanging on the crucifix, Kovacs notices that it's him. Kovacs shoots Semetaire and retrieves his cortical stack. Kovacs then starts to think about how to get off the beach.

In Chapter 36, Kovacs starts to wake up in a familiar area. He also hears voices he recognizes talking about Kovacs waking up and recovering. Kovacs recognizes the people as Carrera's Wedge. Carrera himself comes to find out from Kovacs what happened and Kovacs tells him. The Wedge doctors are working on the other bodies. Some will live by resleeving, but others will not.
