David learns the history of the Mi-Go monks.
How many unexploded, non-farm animal, mentally sound soldiers could Division 3 have left?
More to the point, can Division 3 still exist with Fukuyama having been hijacked and tampered with?

The first indication that the monk has escaped is a bloody handprint on the window of the infected room.
That discovery leads Fukuyamas androids to place the facility on lockdown.
Before David goes to hunt the monk himself, he decides to go to Farouk for answers.
David, for his part, seems only moderately less disinterested in her plight than Farouk does.
Conspicuously missing from this scene is Oliver.
David returns to D3 to find that this is the case.
There is also, intermittently, a cow.
The first familiar face David encounters within D3 is Cary, who has not been infected by the monk.
The next chatterer they find is Melanie.
Her maze is aZork-ish text-based game.
Before Melanie met Oliver and became the leader of Summerland, her dream was to be carefree.
Hence, the manifestation of her maze as a game she could control completely.
Seeing David articulate this realization is enough to free Melanie from her maze.
The monk shows David a vision of the demise of his order.
Meanwhile Cary finds a chattering Kerry and fades away as he puts his head against hers.
The episode closes out with the physical meeting between David and the Mi-Go monk whose memories he has experienced.
Speaking through Fukuyamas Vermillion, the monk demands a weapon to destroy the body of the Shadow King.
When Fukuyama claims no such weapon was ever created, Melanie volunteers David for the job.
Im having a really hard time finding the landmarks here, David summarizes to the monk.
Minds separated from bodies and minotaurs in mazes.
The final shot of the episode shows David entering Syds whiteout of a maze.
Part of that difference stems from how powerful David has become.
With such control over his powers, what danger can manifest that David cant just think away?
