I liked this episode quite a bit, and I think I understand the structure of the series now, Charley goes into the prolixity and does something related to the overall Viyran/Lamentation Cypher plot (assuming it continues like this). I think the main problem I had with it was that I guessed the twist of the Slaverings being the infected expeditionary men very early on, which slightly lessened the experience, but other than that, a very solid story.
