## Summary

Professor Attomy of astrogeology at the Planet Alliance Academy conducts an Orichalt ore excavation accompanied by his assistant Romanov and student Maya. During the excavation, the drilling machine hits bedrock thereby compromising the project. So the trio investigates the site with the use of I-Machines. Unbeknownst to the group, they're being watched by another trio of I-Machines humanoid and a smaller one, who are targeting them.

As the trio investigates the cause of the drilling impediment learning that it was a metal stratum is the cause. To fix the situation, Professor Attomy decides that a missile bomb will be used to destroy the metal stratum. Once the missile launches and strikes its designated target, the explosion causes a massive backfire. The backfire explosion destroys the Professor's and his assistant's I-machines causing a Mind Reload for the two. Due to the backlash of the explosion, Maya's I-Machine and body are abandoned in order to preserve the safety of the mothership. As Maya, flails around in space in her I-Machine, she's rescued by the I-Machines that were observing her and her former colleagues. The mothership to Maya's rescuers arrives and the boss Grayman orders his men to collect the Orichalt they were mining. The team does so and Maya's I-Machine is destroyed in the explosion that occurs after the ore was mined. A flashback of how Maya was accepted into the Planet Alliance Academy from a scholarship is shown. Maya awakens outside- her rescuers' mothership the Stulti. Perplexed by the situation, Maya's further perplexed when she learns that she's unable to Mind Reload back into her original body.

Inside the ship, Maya learns that the research ship she came from is missing and is suspected to have returned to the Albeiro broadcasting station. While Maya is given a new right arm and is lamenting over her abandonment, the captain of the ship Grayman and his daughter Clair introduce themselves. In turn, Maya introduces herself and her background. She's then fitted with her new arm and informed that due to the circumstances, she's completely unable to get her body back. At the bridge of the ship, Maya meets the captain and his daughter in person. Grayman strikes a deal with Maya that if she works for them until she pays back for what she owes them, then they'll help her get her real body back. Maya happily agrees to this offer. Wasting no time, the next mining target area is disclosed. Due to her background in astrogeology from the Planet Alliance Academy, Maya gauges the meteor location for the best distance and spot where to mine it. As the mining crew and Maya head to the meteor location, Ido chastises Maya for being an idiot. His reason being is that Maya could have traded the information she had of the meteor in exchange for being lead to where her body is.

Before they reach the location, another mining group called the Fujima Corporation are spotted at the ore site trying to excavate it. Although it'd normally be impossible for such a large scale corporation to know about the ore site. It's deduced that Professor Attomy sold the information location to them. At that moment, the group is attacked by an abundance of I-Machine guards. Even though the group manages to take out some of the guards they're still overwhelmed by the superfluity of the numbers of guards. So Grayman and the Stulti arrive at the scene and fire their own drill over the drill in place at the ore site. Once Ido arrives at the ore site and realizes that the magnetic pressure is far too much for him to handle. He warps the ore to the ship and in the process loses all of his abdominal limbs.

Afterward, after the Stulti retrieves the mined ore, the Seventh Squadron of the Planet Alliance arrives. Although the Stulti flees, the Planet Alliance's main target is the Fujima Corporation. While the crew of the Stutli is glad that they're evading arrest, Maya is disconcerted that she won't be able to get her body back. After the credits, it's shown that Maya's body was retrieved by the Stutli and Maya is finally able to Mind Reload back into her body.
