Tập 16: Shingo Sửa Hệ Thống Liên Lạc Sau Khủng Hoảng Nhớ Nhà Với Phát Hiện Thực Vật Nano

16

Chako and Shingo investigate the machine, and determine it to be a nano-plant - a collection of nanomachines - that was controlling the crustacean. They realize the nano-plant means there is intelligent life somewhere on the planet. Shingo announces that he might be able to use the nano-plant to fix the communications system, but Howard assumes that Shingo is guaranteed to be successful and gets excited. Despite working all night, Shingo isn't finished by the next morning - Howard, however, continues with his unreasonable expectations. Howard and Shingo get into a heated argument, which ends with Shingo storming off. Luna comes to the conclusion that Shingo is homesick - being two years younger than the rest of the children, he feels it much worse. Things come to a head when Howard teases Shingo because he was crying for his parents in his sleep. Shingo runs away in tears, and the rest of the children berate Howard. They search the forest for Shingo, eventually finding him in the shuttle. They send Howard to make amends, and he does so by standing on the shoreline and shouting for his parents. The other children join in, except for Kaoru, who is embarrassed by Chako before he can. That night, Shingo finally fixes the communications system, and a voice comes from the speakers. The children become excited, until Luna reveals that it was the same voice that she'd been hearing in her mind. (Source: Wikipedia)
