The chapter details a secretive military operation launched in 2355 involving 40,000 Union personnel, mostly azi, who established a colony on an Earth-like planet called Gehenna. The operation was abandoned without further support, leaving survivors who have regressed to a primitive lifestyle and integrated deeply into the ecosystem, creating a political and ecological dilemma for both the Union and the Alliance. Mikhail Corain reviews intelligence reports and expresses frustration over Defense Bureau's mishandling and cover-up of the situation, highlighting the political tensions and ethical issues surrounding the abandoned colony.
