## Summary

A seminar about the mind transfer system, where a human conscious is transferred into an I-Machine is given by Cain Arisugawa. This turns out to be just a dream of Adams Forte Chevalier. He questions whether or not he was daydreaming or reliving a hateful memory.

On the Stulti, Clair reads the news about how Maya's professor, Attomy sold mining information to the Fujima Corporation. Furthermore, Maya is framed as an accomplice in the incident and is presumed dead. Grayman reveals that Fa-Loser found and retrieved Maya's body that was still in stasis drifting in space. In a state of panic, Maya wants to return to the Planet Alliance Academy to prove her innocence, but is dissuaded by Clair not to. Clair believes that Maya would be arrested and Professor Attomy would use his influence against her if she tried to prove her innocence. So to remedy Maya's melancholy, Grayman hires her as the ship's geologist.

Elsewhere, a meteor containing Orichalt teleports to an undisclosed location. Adams is contacted by an unknown person about it and discuss trying to acquire the ore from it. Meanwhile, Maya and Rick perform ship diagnostics from outside the ship and the two introduce themselves. Ido is also shown helping out with the diagnostics from a different location. Rick also reveals that despite Ido's pessimistic attitude towards, Maya he greatly cares for Maya's well being. Maya argues that she can handle herself and that if she "dies", a Mind Reload would occur and she'd end up back in her original body. Hearing this delights Rick as he finds the argument funny and comments that he's taken a liking to Maya. On the other hand, Maya thinks of her coworkers as "Gangsters" and is adamant that she'll leave the crew one day.

Karla conducts some business with an information broker named Zephyr about a new Orichalt ore location. Later in Maya's room, Clair informs her about a crew meeting that will take place in virtual space. Once everyone has arrived in the meeting room, Karla elucidates that their next job is sponsored by Planet Works. The compensation for failure or success is 10 million. The job location is the same aforementioned meteor in Adams and his contact discussion. Astonished by this find, Maya details the level of the Orichalt from her analysis from the storm emanating from the meteor site. Although Grayman is concerned by the high risks that the job entails, Ido agrees to take the job.

As the Stulti prepares to Miguel Jump close to the meteor site. Clair elaborates on the site's location and how the tidal forces of its two moons will cause geological changes. These tidal forces will allow an opening to mine the ore from the meteor. Because the job would be too much for even Ido to handle, Maya is sent as a tag along. When Maya realizes this, the Stulti teleports to the site. At the site, the ship lands in a meteor field and starts to sustain minimal damage. The Mattsun or the ship's drill is launched and from Maya's analysis, it's suspected that the site is hollow. With no way to retreat back to the ship, due to a down gust from the tidal forces, the drill crash lands at the site. The Stulti, on the other hand, manages to teleport to a safe distance from the site. With the communications being compromised due to the site's storm, Rick and Fa-Loser plans to wait for Ido and Maya at the closest orbit.

Awakening at the meteor site, Maya notes that the drill in its current condition would be unable to work, Ido head into a tunnel into the meteor. Maya follows Ido and gives an analysis of the tunnel. During Maya's analysis, a burst of energy incapacitates Ido and Maya suggests that they Mind Out. Ido though cannot as he's an "Evertrancer" and suggests that Maya Mind Out and allow him to take over her I-Machine. She does allow Ido to use her parts to replace his own, but downloads his memory into hers allowing her to act as his navigator. Following Maya's directions, Ido makes it to the ore site. Once Ido tries to retrieve the ore, he experiences fragmented flashbacks. In a frantic state, Ido manages to retrieve the ore and use the drill they used to land on the meteor to propel them back to the ship. Rick who witnesses this curses Ido.

Back on the ship, the group discovers that from the ore that they retrieved, there was a a little girl attached to it.
