Captain Varrot instructs all Squad leaders to take a break following the Fouzen operation to recuperate and restore morale. When Rosie is asked by Squad 7 to represent them in the talent show, she refuses to do so if Isara will be present and storms out in anger. When she encounters Isara, Rosie tells her that Rosie's parents were killed by the Darcsen guerrillas when she was a child during the First Europan War. They wrongly accused her father of betraying their location to Imperials armed guerrillas after they had barged into her home to hide from Imperial soldiers. Isara decides to forgo the festivities if Rosie will agree to sing. Faldio orders Isara to accompany him to the barracks and Rosie sings regardless. After the concert, Faldio tells Alicia that he loves her.
