When Jeb comes across Melanie's dying body, he realizes what had happened to her but still leads her to his hideout: a network of caves housing more than thirty people. By doing so, she would be denying the Seeker Melanie's memories and the humans they would lead her to. As Wanderer starts to uncover some of Melanie's memories of her younger brother Jamie Stryder and her boyfriend Jared Howe, Melanie gets her to follow a series of landmarks throughout the Arizona desert to find her Uncle Jeb, hoping that Jared and Jamie are with him. Wanderer's assigned "Seeker" suggests that she could be placed into Melanie to retrieve the memories before disposing of the defective body, but Wanderer makes several attempts to deny her Seeker's wishes. However, Melanie's consciousness is still alive and begins to communicate with Wanderer mentally. Wanderer, a Soul, is placed into the body of Melanie Stryder. When a Soul is implanted into a host body, the consciousness of the original owner is erased, leaving their memories and knowledge. A species of parasitic aliens called "Souls" have invaded Earth, deeming the humans too violent to deserve the planet.
