Following right on the heels of the battle in the previous episode, Minamoto finds that P.A.N.D.R.A. has pulled the ol' switcheroo regarding Kyousuke who has evacuated the scene while leaving behind the unconscious Barret. A chess-computation campaign regarding the next counterattack against Black Phantom commences as Kyousuke administrates over a housekeeping conference with his subordinates over the previous operation while B.A.B.E.L. medically appraises both Kaoru and Barret. While he and Dr. Sakaki are computing how to interpret Barret's esper powers and life memories being extinguished with the Black Phantom subjugation, Fujiko's admonishment about wielding at all times a powerful hand blaster developed to kill espers whose corporeal constitution defies normal weaponry prompts Minamoto to renew his resolve to extinguish Kyousuke's volition unaware that P.A.N.D.R.A. has decided upon its next move which Shiho psychometrically detects among the mail Aoi has brought in. Their leader now in a cerebral psuedo-reality developed based upon Ikyuugo's final prediction, Taizou and Oboro finding the former B.A.B.E.L. special esper Setsuko Kuromaki to be the perpetrator does little good as P.A.N.D.R.A. tries its best to interfere with her capture. B.A.B.E.L.'s desperate endeavors to emancipate Minamoto from Setsuko's cerebral pseudo-reality spanning three fruitless days inflame tensions between the normally placid Shiho and Aoi while Kyousuke approaches the anguished and frustrated Kaoru with the exhortation to join P.A.N.D.R.A. even though the subjugation is his design.
