It's Christmas on board the Nadesico, but behind the veneer of festivities, more serious events are moving forwards. With the Nadesico set to join the military, the crew face being being drafted into the UEAF- all except Akito, that is, who is set to be replaced by a trained pilot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Erina asks Akito to help further her research into organic boson jumping (teleportation). But is being a pawn in one of Erina's games really worth the risks, or should Akito just forget it and spend a quiet holiday with Megumi?moreless
