The AEUG launch Operation Maelstrom, surrounding Gryps 2 in a whirlpool formation in order to recapture the colony laser from the Axis forces. Kamille is sent to distract the enemy and finds himself in single combat with Haman herself. The two powerful Newtypes experience a mental connection, but Haman rejects this rapport and lashes out against Kamille with violent anger, crushing his hopes that they might come to understand one another.
Wow! Has the fighting already begun?!
– Ça pète de partout !
– Vous n’avez rien à faire ici.
