Luke questions Ted Sadin through a remote speaker, pretending to be Sphynx. Ted reveals that Φ is the screen name of the largest donor on his stream, that the suggestion to fake a Sphynx puzzle was this fan's idea, and that the surveillance Ted set up around the building was at Φ's request to capture Sphynx's face when he investigates the streaming site. Ted provides Luke with an unedited copy of an earlier stream that may provide a lead on Φ.
After leaving the meeting with Ted, Luke and the main character agree that while his enthusiasm for Sphynx seems genuine, Ted is likely hiding something.
