Things are quiet at 21st Century Defense Security with everyone doing tedious administrative tasks. Finally there is a Heterodyne warning and the crew enter Dai-Guard on stand-by. Akagi and Ibuki have an argument because he made fun of her that morning, and unfortunately it is transmitted through the public address system. Ibuki seems tense and Aoyama has problems at home. Akagi apologises to Ibuki who tells him that her stepfather wants her to quit the Dai-Guard crew. Aoyama goes home to take care of his mother but she tells him to go to work and not worry.
