Page 6, THE PILOT strikes.
Panel 1
This page shows what a confident and strong writer William Gibson has become in the comics medium, using pictures as easily as text to tell the story. As I see it, the first two issues of Archangel were still a novelist writing comic books, but by one third of the way through issue #3 Gibson became a superb comic book writer. It is a testament to his genius that he has been able to adapt to a new medium so quickly.

Page 6 exposes FRITZ's secret chop shop
Panel 1
FRITZ is running a secret chop shop. A "chop shop" is a business that disassembles stolen vehicles for the purpose of selling them either as parts, or assembling a new vehicle from parts of different vehicles.
Panel 2
FRITZ is selling to the U.S. Army
Panel 3
More and more FRITZ is turning out to be the hero of this story, his illegal activities are raising money for an orphanage (admittedly by employing orphans as child labour, but no one's perfect!).
Panel 4

Page 6 sees NAOMI examine the bomb fragments and warn FRITZ.
Panel 1
"IN A DECADE" - It might be polypropylene (aka polypropene) which was polymerized to a crystalline isotactic polymer in 1954. I really, really want NAOMI to say it's a "long chain monomer".
This confirms that NAOMI is an expert in Materials Science.
Test tubes have been around since the early 1800s. They may have been invented by Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius.
