While getting supplies on a space station, Four (Slashy) sneaks away from the Raza crew and heads out on a merchant ship to meet with his step brother, the Emperor, to tell him the truth about their father’s death. A lot of information about each other has been revealed, but there is still tension and distrust within the crew of the Raza.
- Two ( Boss Lady) confesses to the crew that Four is actually a Royal Prince of the Ishida Clan when his recent actions forces her to address his predicament.
- Six (Tiny) thinks that Four has the right idea and leave the ship. He thinks that leaving the ship will make people leave behind their former lives and start over again.
- Two wants to go back and find Four and bring him back, but she is getting some resistance from Six and One (Pretty Boy). Strangely Three (Sunshine) agrees with Two but the crew believes that he has an ulterior reason for this.
- Six still blames himself for the death of thousands by the trickery and deception of his old leader, The General.
- Two claims that they need to trust each other and depend on each other to survive. Ironically she still hasn’t opened up about her secret. To me that is called being a hypocrite.
- Four arrives on a planet to meet with his Emperor brother, but is greeted with a group of Ishida guard headed by his old teacher, Akita. Four is able to fight off the guards but isn’t lucky with Akita. He takes Four into custody.
- The Android is running a full diagnostic to find any flaws in her programming. Three walks in while she is doing that. She tells him that if she can’t find the flaw, she will have to do a total reboot to purge any abnormalities. Three tells her not to do that because then he would have to start over getting to know a new and different robot. She considers that to be a compliment.
- Two breaks up a fight between One and Three. She asks One what is the matter. He tells her about his findings about his true self and the reason why he is on board. He is to kill Three for the death of his wife. One believes that deep down inside, everybody on this ship has their own agenda and will only look out for their skin. Eventually everybody on this crew will turn against one another because that is who we are and no memory wipe will change that. Two tries to tell him that everybody needs to get a second chance and that we need each other. We are a family.
- Four and Akita talk about him growing up and how Akita was more of a father to him than his own father. He tries to make Akita understand that he could not have killed his father, but Akita is just following orders.
- Five (Kid) wants Six to teach her how to fight, but he refuses. She wants to protect her family but Six tells her that we are all strangers put into a situation that doesn’t resemble a family, and that eventually the past in going to catch with them and when it does he doesn’t want her to be around to get hurt. She tells him that it is too late, she already got hurt when she volunteered to dig up their secrets in her brain and almost killed her. The killer robot Wendy targeted her as well for termination along with the crew. She exclaims she is part of this crew whether he likes it or not.
- Two confronts Three about the distrust within the crew. They realize that she, Three, and One are the only few that are the possible threat and responsible for their memory wipe.
- The Raza crew meets up with Four and Akita and more of his Ishida guards. They fight with guns. One had the opportunity to kill Three but opted to save his butt.
- Four kills Akita after the fire fight and heads off with the crew.
- Six apologizes to Five for the things he said to her.
- Four thanks Two for coming back for him. He didn’t want the crew to get involved with his personal problems. She tells him that we are a family and that we look for each other. Four assures her that when he regains the throne we will remember who his true family is.
- Back on Four’s home planet, the brother Emperor confronts his mother, the Queen about her deception about the meeting with Four. He claims that he was going to the truth about his father’s death. The Queen adamantly assures that Ryo (Four) is the assassin and no one else.
Next week, the Raza is trapped between three Ferrous Corp Destroyers and must find a way to escape.
