Deciding to try and open a dialogue with these people, Ledo stays pinned to the pylon. They ask to talk to the Alliance in charge, but the crew have no idea what he is talking about and they believe that Chamber, who is translating, has another person inside. As Ridget, the commander, and the crew try to decide what to do, Amy gives Red food and begins talking. She explains that this is Earth, and when it was frozen over, some humans escaped to the stars while others stayed. Eventually, the ice melted and became a vast ocean, in which many people form fleets to salvage old technology from below. Looking for other items advanced technology, Ridget sends Bellows to the point where Chamber and Ledo Were found, and her ship is attacked by pirates. Amy asks Ledo to help them, and he agrees with the intention of earning their trust. Ledo boards Chamber and efficiently eliminate all enemies with no harm to Bellows' ship and crew, as Amy and the others watch in awe at its destructive power.

Amy tries to help Ledo find a job and introduces him to a number of different industries aboard Gargantia, but he's just not able to land one. Then the wind dies down and the waves cease, making it a "Calm Day", during which time the fleet shuts down so a lot of repair work can be done. But for non-repair-related personnel, it's time to take a breather. Pinion invites Ledo, Amy and her friends to a BBQ party. Everything seems to be going smoothly...
