Episode Summary

Able Squad arrives on Venus with the mission of locating and estimating every Neo base and troop concentration on the planet, as a prelude to invasion. While investigating a secret research facility Torres and Bronski are discovered, and in the battle to retrieve them Marsala is captured. He is taken inside, and sees that the facility is for research related to AutoMutation Syndrome (apparently a Neo sapien version of cancer). To prevent Marsala from divulging ExoFleet plans for an invasion Marsh sets out to destroy the facility with Marsala inside. Nara is unwilling to let Marsala be killed, and she goes to rescue him. She manages to succeed before Marsh finishes demolishing the complex, and on their way out she and Marsala unwittingly capture an experimental subject that merged with the Neo mega Lysander.moreless

      • Lysander: "The manipulated genes of Neo sapiens are inherently unstable." This episode gives us a better idea of what is happening to Phaeton, with regard to the strange lesions that can be seen at the sides of his face. Phaeton is apparently suffering from AutoMutation Syndrome, which is feared by all Neo sapiens. Cell damage can trigger AutoMutation, but injury is not necessary for AutoMutation to occur." In Phaeton's case, the events at Olympus Mons in Defying Olympus were likely the cause. As yet there seems to be no known cure for this illness. Edit

      • Marsh: Let him go Takagi, break off pursuit. We're here to look, not fight. Kaz: (returning) Hey, can I follow orders or what? Torres: Takagi, only you can show off by not showing off. Edit
