Odc. 19: Hachimaki i Cheng-Shin stają przed różnymi ścieżkami w procesie selekcji załogi Von Braun.

19

The Debris Section has won a reprieve after their discovery and destruction of the classified INTO mine. On Earth, Hachimaki and Cheng-Shin both apply to be candidates to join the Von Braun's crew after a series of tests hosted by Locksmith. Hachimaki has entered the preliminary round of tests, while Cheng-Shin is exempt from them because of his employment at Technora. Forced to live homeless and unemployed, Hachimaki finds out that Hakim will also be a candidate, and has also quit his job at the OSA. Cheng-Shin asks Hachimaki to contact Tanabe, but he keeps putting it off. The final test of the preliminary round is to restore their life support system while in orbit within ten minutes, using a pool as a simulation. As Hachimaki and Cheng-Shin take the test with two other candidates, one of the candidates accidentally cuts off one of her oxygen tubes and starts to fall to the bottom of the pool. Hachimaki, ignoring the situation, proceeds and passes the test, while Cheng-Shin and the other candidate rescue her. Before Cheng-Shin wishes Hachimaki well for passing the test on his own, the latter expresses his anger at the fact that the former took the test without truly giving it his all. (Source: Wikipedia)
