Done. All weapon systems of the space station have been disabled.

A friendly reminder from Korolev: Dear children, please treat public facilities with love and care—

Serious offenders will be separated from their parents for one week in correctional facilities.

Will this thing ever shut up...

In space.

Watanabe, it's so crowded in here.

It's not meant for two.

Have you brought mint leaves?

How do you know...

I've been following the news.

To be more specific, I've been keeping up with the news on Gray Raven, and that includes everything and everyone in their proximity.

Why Gray Raven... Whatever, none of my business.

Oh, there's nothing I can't tell. It's really just their commandant I'm interested in. By the way...

...

Even if you are wearing such an outfit... You must have some spare ones left, right? Can I have one as a souvenir?

Watanabe continues to fly the aircraft with ease while they talk.

After another enemy explodes into cosmic dust, Watanabe takes out a mint leaf from the cockpit and passes it to Ayla.

Wow...

I shall give you something in return.

Ayla takes out her pen and signs on the cover of Watanabe's cockpit.

...

Is this what Babylonia's new generation is like... Whatever.

All done. I'll leave the rest to you.

Roger.

Sit tight.

Watanabe and his Forsaken air force have already eliminated most Corrupted drones with superb efficiency.

He and a few other aircraft suddenly accelerate, entering the range of the space station's defense weapon system.

System

Lock-on warning. Incoming attacks. Amount: 16...

Watanabe pulls up his aircraft, barely missing the incoming shots.

You've got good space compatibility and g-force endurance.

Really? Thanks.

Watanabe turns his aircraft around and is about to attack the defense system when...

System

Enemy fire control system offline...

Hmph, it must be Gray Raven.

Oh? How do you know?

I've met many Babylonian squads, but only they can do that.

So Gray Raven is also special to you, huh?

...Enough talking. We've arrived at your landing point. I'll drop you off nearby.

Oh, alright then. Thanks for the ride, Watanabe. See you next time.

I don't think there will be a next time.

Ayla waves goodbye to Watanabe. He immediately takes off again and starts searching.

I remember it should be somewhere around here... Found it.

It is an aircraft with no signs to indicate its faction. It lands on the surface of the space station, creating a huge opening.

Looks like we have some uninvited guests...

The deal with Babylonia is supposed to end here...

But...

Gray Raven...

Watanabe pilots his aircraft toward the main entrance of the space station.
