## Summary

Adams reviews a report on how the Stulti managed to escape the United Planets Force ship the Marito. When the report is over, Urakou chimes in and summarizes it as the Stulti basically took the Orichalt and ran.

On the Stulti, Maya reports that the ship is in the N region. A disconcerted Grayson laments their location being far out of the range of the Miguel Map of the known cosmos. Grayson then has his daughter Clair pinpoint a warp location. Clair does this and claims it'll take place in 7 hours 27 minutes. Outside the ship, Ido, Rick, and Karla talk about what they'll do since they'll be out of the Miguel Net for about 2 months after they warp. A forlorn Rick acts distraught by this news as he'll be missing out on various media that interest him. His spirits, however, lighten after hearing that Grayson is about to interrogate the soldier they captured. An augmented reality meeting is scheduled concerning their prisoner, who in her room, plans to escape her confines. It's at that moment that Maya arrives in her room to help her be brought into the augmented reality.

The meeting starts and Grayson interrogates their prison by first asking her rank. She discloses it and reveals her name is Amanza Volchkova. Next, he asks the motive for the UPF to arrest the group. Amanza answers that it was to detain the retrieve the illegally excavated Orichalt. To assure that Amanza isn't lying, Grayson has Karla scan Amanza for authenticity in what she's revealed to them thus far. Karla does so and concludes that everything spoken by Amana has been the truth thus far. At that point, Amanza asks if the Stulti crew attacked her ship with the meteoroids. Grayson denies it and as he confesses this, Amanza escapes from her restraints with the help of a hidden razor. The crew then realizes that Amanza has escaped after her avatar becomes corrupted.

While Amanza plans to make an escape by a cargo system, she's warned by Grayson, that they're en route outside of the Miguel Net. It's then that Amanza runs into Maya and the girl and goes to attack them. This makes the girl become scared. Meanwhile, Adams and Urakuo continue discussing the truth behind the mysterious teleporting planetary moon. Back to the Stulti, Amanza holds Maya and the girl hostage and tries to negotiate with Grayson, but he refuses to comply with the demands. Ido comments that Amanza has never killed anyone without receiving an order first. Just then, an unidentified object teleports close to the Stulti. The object is a large planet and Maya recognizes it as one of the two moons from when their recent excavation. From the moon, asteroids spawn from it and head toward the ship. In order to have a safe passageway to make an emergency jump, Grayson sends the Evertrance crew to clear a path. He also convinces, Amanza to release Maya their geologist to help out and have her help the Evertrance crew with making a pathway. Taking charge of the ship's firearms, Grayson also notes that the duration of the clearing of the pathway for the emergency jump will be 8 minutes.

Logged into their I-Machines, Maya and Amanza head to the drill at the 2nd hangar. Although it's deduced that they need to destroy 48 meteors, which would make it 8 meteors per person to destroy. Ido reduces that figure to 2 each with the Billards theory. On Ido's side, he has trouble breaking through a meteor will a high deposit of bedrock that makes it impossible to launch. So he has Amanza use her energy pipe to break through the bedrock. Although Amanza notes how suicidal it'd be for Ido, he remains obstinate. Amanza then asks for Ido's real name, but he cannot give it as he reveals he has amnesia. Apparently when he tried to retrieve any information on himself all that came up with ID-0. Hooked up with Amanza's energy pipe, Ido manages to break through the bedrock at the cost of his right arm. After setting up the bomb, Ido asks why Amanza hasn't Mind Reloaded. She answers that she wants to see him in his last moments, to which, Ido comments that Amanza is a twisted person. Caught in an updraft from the explosion, Maya and Karla rescue Ido and Amanza respectively. Grayson then orders Clair that once the crew is back in range of the ship to warp them all out of there. Once they are, they safely warp them out of there.

Back on the ship, Amanza ponders why Ido has no ID data, figuring that this could be intentional.
