Episode Title:
A Beautiful Launch.
Episode Description:
Marika helps Gruier order all of the royal ships to cease all hostilities, while the Bentenmaru boards the damaged ship. Marika and Gruier greet Yotof Sif Sideux and Catherine, who deliver a package for the princess, a data storage device containing information on the location of the golden ghost ship. Marika, surprised to see Chiaki at school in the space yacht club room, is told that the Barbaroosa has been tasked by a client to not only find the golden ghost ship but destroy any ships pursuing it as well. Jenny plans for another space cruise school trip on the Odette II, which will discreetly allow Marika and Gruier to return to the Bentenmaru, so that their school attendances will not be affected. Later that night, Marika and Ririka heads to a private restaurant, where they meet up with the Bentenmaru crew. Hyakume explains the golden ghost ship is in fact one of the first generation colony transport ships before FTL travel was perfected. The data storage device shows the pattern the golden ghost ship has been traveling in the galaxy. Now knowing where they can find the ship and the dangers they face, Marika orders the Bentenmaru to set sail by FTL.
