Description: Kusaka is given access to the Mirai's record room where he learns the outcome of the war and the future of Japan. As such he decides to throw in his lot with the crew of the Mirai. Meanwhile the VTOL Umidori is sent on a recon mission over the Japanese naval base in the Ogasawara Islands to evaluate the situation. Unfortunately the over-confident pilot is engaged by two Japanese floatplane fighters whose pilots think it suspicious that the odd-looking plane should be trying to escape, despite flying Japanese colours.
