Episode 9: "The Miracle Operation of the Kiss?"
Yurika makes it clear to the United Earth Armed Forces that she won't let the Nadesico be used as a pawn, but its first
mission isn't to go to war - it's to elude enemy forces and rescue a mysterious special ambassador from Uchatsurawatosk
Island in the Bering Straits. Akito broods about a haunting, decade-old memory in which he and Yurika shared a kiss. But
Megumi surprises him, confessing her love for him. Akito stops her from undressing. Yurika, on the bridge, wonders what's
going on down there. Frustrated, she bangs on the console and inadvertently broadcasts the ship's position to the enemy.
Episode 10: "The Dangers of Femininity"
The Nadesico crew receives an assignment to visit Tenician Island, a vacation spot reported to house a new kind of
dimensional gateway. Everyone dons swimsuits and sunblock.
Yurika deduces that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but Megumi, getting wind of this plan, also tries
her hand at cooking. So, besieged with nauseating food, Akito takes refuge in an episode of "Gekiganger 3" that features
the perfect woman. Her name is Aquamarine, and she cooks non-poisonous food.
Ironically, on Tenician Island, Akito meets a lovely girl named Aqua - and she can cook too. But she also harbors
convictions that may prove harmful to the Nadesico crew.
Episode 11: "Finding Yourself in a Routine Plot"
The Jovians have created a new gravity wave railgun located in the Russian region currently controlled by the aliens.
And the Nadesico finds out the hard way that it has the potential to do more damage than even its owners realize.
The Aestivalis ships journey to secure the new weapon, but the crafty Jovians have commandeered ancient Earth tanks
to help defend their gun.
Episode 12: "Those Unforgettable Days"
The Nadesico's attempts to help the UEAF fight the Jovians turns sour when the great battleship fires on its own
allies as well as the enemy. Fearing a trap, the Jovians scurry off.
A team of investigators decides that the problem is the ship's computer, which still recognizes the UEAF as an enemy.
They tell Yurika that its newly developed self-awareness must be purged. Determined to fix the computer and save its memory,
Ruri appeals to Akito for help. And the two of them set to the task that will eventually bring Akito face to face with his
anime hero, a character from "Gekiganger 3," locked in the ship's data banks.
