Black and White.White Knight reveals intel that Providence is attempting to restart the Nanite Project, for unknown reasons. As a result, Rex and his allies stage an elaborate break-in of the Providence HQ to learn more, but Rex remains adamant that Caesar would never aid in the restoration of the Nanite Project. During the break-in, White Knight reaches his office and retrieves an item from beneath the floor, but Black Knight confronts him, and the two battle. Meanwhile, Rex detours from the plan to speak to Caesar. Caesar states that he is in fact in charge of the new Nanite Project, and additionally, he is attempting to restore Dr. Gabriel Rylander to life in the same manner as Van Kleiss. Caesar then reveals that he caused the Nanite Event, in an alleged effort to "save the world," horrifying Rex. Rex and the others escape from the Providence HQ, and White Knight reveals that the item he stole is a meta-nanite; one of several nanites containing a cipher which can control the fabric of reality. The Consortium, the original financers of the Nanite Project, intended to put the meta-nanites inside of themselves in order to gain godlike powers. Rex realizes that this is the reason Caesar caused the Nanite Event; to scatter the meta-nanites across the globe and prevent the Consortium from gaining access to them. White Knight declares that the game has changed and that they must stop Black Knight before she recovers all of the meta-nanites for the Consortium.
