Asteria Lizamarie de Roschefall arrives at Pharos and greets Tadokoro and the Vox pilots. She questions Madoka regarding a strange sky occurrence following a confrontation with Muginami. While the pilots relax at a water park, Asteria discusses the Vox Units with Youko. Lan shares the Vox legend with Madoka, describing an incident from 20,000 years ago that nearly destroyed the world. Asteria also discusses this legend with Youko, Moid, and Tadokoro in an office. Madoka, Lan, and Muginami sleep together for safety. The next day, Asteria bans Madoka from piloting Midori in battle. Lan and Muginami protest by locking themselves in the storage hangar. Madoka enters through an air duct and convinces them to end the protest. Later, Asteria meets Villagulio, Kirius, Izo, and Array. Villagulio demands the Vox Units, but Asteria refuses, insisting the flower of Lagrange must never blossom again.
