After securing a soul fragment for possible resurrection, John reached a military base on Saturn’s rings and learned his mission would be a near-suicidal battle.

• Olivia rejected Captain Tanaka’s request for reinforcements after his fleet lost the stronghold star system, then ordered elite forces to the Red Number Star System while leaving the Leaf Tree Galaxy to the Elven Kingdom.
