Seasons & Episode
Still en route to Baikonur, Marlene and Yuji cross paths with a rough mannered stranger named Dice. With the Blue lurking dangerously close, he offers them shelter for the night and Yuji is given a glimpse into his seemingly carefree life. But as Yuji soon discovers, no one left on Earth is without their demons...not even Dice.
Marlene and Yuji arrive at Baikonur, only to find the space base in the state of chaos. The facility is crawling with Blue, and the computer defense systems have turned on thier human counterparts. Now, with supplies and personnel dwindling, the assembled recovery teams must launch a desperate bid to regain control of the base.
The lives of the remaining recovery squad members are thrown into jeopardy when a renegade officer attempts to hijack the shuttle and escape on his own. The attempt is thwarted, but the cost is the diversion of valuable resources from the battlefield, where Marlene and a small team of Armor Shrike pilots are fighting to stay alive!
Yuji is rushed into intensive care after being attacked by a Blue aboard the shuttle to Second Earth. Now, Marlene must face an inquiry before the High Council and defend her recent actions on the planet's surface. But Marlene has questions of her own, and soon begins to suspect a dark design behind the Council's plans for the recovered Sleeper, Yuji.
When Yuji disappears from the Medical Station, Marlene defies orders and decides to find him on her own. Now, with Amick Hendar's security forces on high alert, Marlene must descend into the lower reaches of the Military Station to find the one man who may know Yuji's whereabouts -- Science Director, Seno Miyagi.
A large attack force is sent to Earth, the first wave in a new campaign to reclaim the planet from the Blue. Yuji is awed when a fellow Sleeper, Tony wipes out an entire Blue nest on his own. Yuji determines to be the best at any cost. But is this unhealthy obsession with beating Tony really a symptom of a much greater problem?
Marlene notices that Yuji's behavior is getting stranger and stranger. On the battlefield he is a force to be reckoned with, but he has an unhealthy obsession with destroying the Blue. Has Yuji turned into something that he once despised -- a cold-blooded killer?
Director Miyagi reveals to Marlene the true cause of Yuji's accelerated rate of achievement -- an infestation of ""B cells"" that have begun to eat away at his mind. And unless she can do something to stop it, Yuji's sanity will soon slip away completely.
While Marlene flies a distraught Yuji back to Second Earth. Tony uses his Sleeper skills to infiltrate the High Council. The sky is turned into the newest battleground for survival. Only this time, the Blue have mutated into something unthinkable…
With Rick injured too severely to continue, Marlene and Yuji continue through the Medical Station alone. They arrive at the main computer room to find Tony waiting for them. Now Yuji must confront his one time friend and rival, and the only way to stop him is to kill.
