}}'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the fifth chapter of [[Cockroaches]]. The group fixes their craft, then visits the site of the Elite's destruction. The Endbringers upgrade. Cauldron is concerned, and the Five factions are solidified.

==Plot==
The group is chilling in the aftermath of the [[Yàngbǎn|Yàngbǎn']]s defeat. Swapping stories and catching up.

They then move to the ruins of the [[Elite]] city, devastated by leviathan. The Simurgh upgrades her sibling with [[Nano-thorn|tech fins]] and from there the various parahuman groups talk about what they will be doing with Scion.

Cauldron berates the Undersiders and their allies for going after the Yàngbǎn and the Elite when both parahuman groups were limiting their actions to civilian populations and acquiring territory. Taylor rationalizes their actions by saying their targets were performing counterproductive actions and going against [[Truce|parahuman custom]].

The meeting concludes and defense plans are worked out for the next phase. Taylor wonders how many people are ready to stab them in the back.

==Major Events==
*[[The Elite]] are defunct as a group. Actual casualties, fatalities and survivors are unknown.
