THE BELLY OF THE BEAST. Breetai faces Ortu but he vanishes and Khyron gives Breetai a cryptic message. Upon arriving in the hanger, Breetai fights Khyron but its actually a simulation with Breetai in a device. On Earth Roy is on the Lemuria and Captain Moira questions him on what the United Earth Government is doing with Robotechnology in places like Alaska and wants to use the captured Veritechs to find out about it. She says the war will return one day and she wants to be prepared and gives Roy 24 hours to decide if he wants to join them. In his cell, Edwards joins him and checks for listening devices before telling Roy he's faking being on their side to stop them and the GMP are aware of the Lemurians from the past war where they were part of Northeast Asia. In the war they sank 2 of Oceana's largest Aircraft Carriers and attacked Brisbane in 1998. They have been free agents since the Global War and have been suspected in capturing freighters. Around 2 years ago Moira took charge and Edwards informs Roy of The Grand Cannon being made to prepare for the return of the ones who sent the SDF-1, which means it has a vast amount of Alien Tech Moira can gain access to.
