The Willgem safely docks with Zacktraeger, where the Gendarme is also docked while awaiting the launch window for the Moon. The station crew at the hub ignore the Militia's hails and dispatch their garrison to capture the Willgem. Harry notices the Gendarme and deploys to rescue Dianna while Loran and Sochie seek out the docking controls. When the station guards arrive, "Dianna" attempts to order them to stand down and release the Willgem. Dianna follows her counterpart's lead, and the two speak together to defuse the situation. The Gendarme departs first, and the station crew, convinced Kihel is Dianna, also allow the Willgem to leave.
