Having been freed by Sutra, Narek returns to the Artifact, where he reunites with his sister Rizzo.
He implores her to shut down the beacon before it contacts the apocalyptic higher synthetics.
That magically does the trick, and La Sirena regains full operational power.

The other is Seb-Cheneb, who carries a horn from a great pale hell-beast called Ganmadan.
I believe its history.
And the fascinating thing about history is, it always repeats itself, says Narek.
Construction of the beacon tower continues.
Well, I supposed thats what mothers do, isnt it?
Once hes gone, Jurati exclaims, Im not their mother, a–hole.
Im busting you out, she informs the stunned Picard, and they flee for La Sirena.
Rios, Raffi, and Elnor gain entry to the synthetics compound by pretending that Narek is their prisoner.
Via a soccer ball, they sneak in a bomb that they plan to use to destroy the beacon.
Turns out, youre no better than we are.
With a handheld equipment, he easily deactivates her.
Elnor and Narek fly into action, and Rios launches the bomb at the tower.
Meanwhile, on the Artifact, Rizzo is thwarted from activating the defense systems by Seven.
Commodore Ohs fleet finally shows up and prepares to stop the synthetics by incinerating the entire planet.
The orchids engage her ships, leading to an enormous space battle.
This works until the real La Sirena takes a serious hit.
The beacon is fully activated, and Oh once again orders her fleet to destroy Coppelius.
At that moment, Starfleet arrives, led by a ship piloted by Riker.
Rather than stand down, Oh gets set to fight the Federations forces.
I trust you, Soji.
I believe in you.
Convinced, Soji destroys the beacon, thus closing the portal before giant tentacle-like creatures can emerge from it.
Surrounded by everyone, Picard informs Soji, I gave you a choice.
Not being the Destroyer was up to you.
Then, Picard dies!
Elsewhere, Raffi consoles a weeping Elnor.
Together, theyre in a complex quantum simulation.
Yet Picard, it turns out, is real.
Behind an opening door, blinding white light beckons.
Data confesses that he remembers that Picard loves him.
Mortality gives meaning to human life, Captain.
Peace, love, friendship these are precious because we know they cannot endure.
Picard awakens in a chamber, and its clear his mind has been transferred into Soongs synthetic golem.
Basically, hes his old self.
Picard fulfills his promise to Data and erases his consciousness.
Picard appears in the simulation and hold Datas hand as his life comes to an end.
Quoting ShakespearesThe Tempest, the reborn Picard intones, We are such stuff as dreams are made on.
And our little life is rounded with a sleep.
Me too, Picard smiles.
At the sound of Picards trademark Engage, La Sirena blasts off.
