Elsie's crew is faced with an ambush by Justice's fleet, but escapes to the jungle planet Foresta after exposing her crewman Jesse as a spy in league with the Interstellar Union Army. Meanwhile, Laguna is accepted as a tentative crew member aboard the Edens Zero, much to the protest of Weisz, who resents him, Jinn, and Kleene for their servitude to Drakken. The crew detects a Relic on Foresta, but when Shiki's group searches the planet for it, they find a town where robots have rebelled against humans, leaving many dead and treating the survivors like dogs. The group is sheltered by Rebecca's visiting friend Couchpo, who explains that Ziggy is responsible for the uprising, having taken control of robots across the planet. Surrounded by a robot mob, Shiki reluctantly leads his friends in fighting them off.
