Synopsis[]
On the Chitose Base, Aoba is approached by Ensign Saburouta Ogisaka, the instructor is charge of his training, along with Mayuka Nasu who will assist him. During the training session Aoba attempts to leave, having wanted nothing to do with it. Having been convinced to stay, he is forced to clean the Cygnus and other places within it.
However, on the Trident, Margaret O'Keefe plans a preemptive strike. In addition, Hina Ryazan had been freed due to Alfried Gallant's plea. Noticing her uneasiness, Hina responds by saying that she is disappointed that not all suspicion is cleared from her. Alfried advises her to prove her innocence through her actions. After leaving, she is confronted by Bizon Gerafil, who asks if she is alright. Hina only responds by saying that Margaret was only doing her job.
Back on the Cygnus Aoba, fed up with the amount of cleaning, spots Fiona Junyou Weinberg and her helper attempting to enter a restricted area. Deciding to approach her, Aoba asks if Fiona was looking for her brother, Dio, as he could go get him for her. Fiona declines saying that she wasn't sure that he would have wanted to see her, due to what their father had said to him earlier. She then goes on to explain what happened in their hometown and that she was left crippled and their mother dying. She also says that because of Dio's failure to protect their family, their father blames him, with Dio also blaming himself. Recognizing the severity of their predicament, Aoba feigns injury so that Fiona can sneak in to see her brother. Successfully passing the guards, they are surprised to enter a room that is celebrating Aoba as an addition to the Cygnus' crew. Calling Dio on the intercom, he is surprised to see his sister, however the transmission is interrupted by a danger warning.
