( May 2020 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this message ) Octavia arrives on Skyring three months after following Diyoza through the anomaly due to time dilation. With her arm fully healed, Octavia forms a family with Diyoza and Hope over the next ten years. For six years, Octavia attempts to return through the anomaly to Sanctum, but it is too deep underwater. Giving up, Octavia sends a message in a bottle to Bellamy through the anomaly and settles into life on Skyring. However, her message is intercepted by the Disciples on Bardo who capture Octavia and Diyoza, though Octavia manages to hide Hope from discovery. In the present, Hope, Gabriel and Echo arrive on Skyring centuries after Hope left, with Hope's memory restored. The three attempt to follow the Disciples to Bardo, but they discover the code has washed away from Hope's note. Stranded, the group discovers that the Disciples turned it into a prison planet for the weak and will return in five years. Gabriel discovers the body of Colin, an old friend of his, and he realizes that Skyring is in fact planet Beta from the Eligius III colony mission, suggesting that Bardo is another Eligius planet and that the Disciples are the descendants of other colonists that had settled there. Hope explains that she only injected Octavia with a locator tag to send her through the anomaly; a recording of Becca reveals that the time dilation is caused by proximity to a nearby black hole. Though Gabriel discovers the code on Colin's Memory Drive, a prisoner named Orlando destroys his computer before they can record it for use.
