With assistance from the Secretary-General, Sota analyzes clues intended to restore Kushima's cyberbrain, but an emergency AI awakens instead. This AI reveals Kushima's theory that weather particles cause the burning sea phenomenon, persuading the Secretary-General to suspend production until Kushima can validate his claims. However, Jeni En subsequently removes the Secretary-General from power through a vote of no confidence, creating a political crisis while the scientific mystery remains unresolved.
