Empress and her group make their way through the wastelands and head toward the Orbital Elevator. Black Trike complains it cannot repair itself due to being damaged during the battle with the Education Institution's armed escort vehicles. Monica takes over the reparations, but as she lacks the rare metals to do so, Empress and the others go at the Peacebuilding Forces' memorial library to collect the necessary parts. While securing the parts in the library's reading room, Monica looks up information on the Colonel with the help of Andy the Librarian Android. Just as she's about to delve deeper after learning something suspicious about the personal history of Jessica, the Colonel's wife, she loses her footing and falls into the basement. The Colonel goes after Monica to rescue her, and finds an infantry unit there. (thetvdb.com)
