The Po Bidau Family's infiltration team finds the location of Baam and Matte set out on a young Pink Dugong while carrying a book to the Viridis Parus Hotel.

Synopsis
In front of the staircase leading to the Shinsu Warp Device, Dravy and Hemus Lime are discussing what they should do next, with Dravy suggesting to wait as someone else may arrive soon. After Dravy suggests to wait, the Warp Device activates and Ha Yuri Zahard walks out from it with a fake Black March in hand asking where Twenty-Fifth Baam is.

In the The Hangar the Po Bidau Family infiltration team has arrived, with Khun Aguero Agnis describing the ride as fast but bumpy, but Po Bidau Tiara pays it no mind and just head to their next destination. Khun questions the plan, but Tiara explains that it has all been taken care of and that she has a plan, which causes Khun to wonder how Tiara knows this much about the Mothership. Guardsmen from the Lo Po Bia Family arrive to intercept them, but Tiara easily and brutally murders them with her red flower shinsu attack to the shock of Khun and Rak Wraithraiser. The infiltration team moves towards The Dugong Control Room while Tiara continues to kill the guardsmen. When they reach the control room Tiara looks up the recorded Pink Dugong trips on the console, finding that the only trip on the day Baam arrived was taken to the Viridis Parus Hotel, a hotel that personally belong to Lo Po Bia Traumerei. This excites Tiara since she would like to fight Traumerei, but it would mean certain death so she decides instead to focus on the mission and try to avoid Traumerei. They leave the control room towards the Training Center for Young Dugong, where they are trying to find a dugong that can take them to the Hotel. As Triara explains, this is due to an annoying security measure where all travel around the Mothership is required to be done on a dugong or you will immediately be labeled an intruder. Khun questions how they will ride the dugong since they are not Animas, in response Tiara to ask if Khun is the nitpicker of Rak's Team, which Rak happily agrees to since he is elated that he is recognized as the leader. Tiara asks them both to be quiet and she says they will be able to ride a young dugong, since they are not as well trained and will let others ride them if they feel their life is threatened. Tiara ask the young dugong Sharknose whether it would give the a ride, which it refuses, but it quickly agrees to the request after Tiara murders all the other dugongs.

In the air above the Mothership Po Bidau Matte Ha is riding Sharknose alone, which is due to Tiara earlier hiding herself, Khun and Rak, and inside her book and Matte gives/reveals the name of the young dugong before asking it for its help. Matte arrives at the outside of the Hotel, where several strands of snakes are visibly seen from the outside, but before he is able to investigate he is attacked by Lo Po Bia Zamzam. Matte has not managed to get the infiltration team into the hotel yet, so he runs away while looking for a way to get them inside, which he does by throwing the book inside the hole left by the snakes. Zamzam goes in and bites Matte's shoulder, causin audible cracking to occur, which Matte gasps in pain from before swatting Zamzam away by throwing his shoulder forward. Zamzam is curious about the book, but Matte just deflects the questions, which does not quench Zamzam's interest and Matte prepares for a fight.

In the Central Lobby Yuri asks if Dravy and Hemus is there for the Marriage Tournament and if so they are a couple centuries too young to marry. Hemus asks who Yuri is, which Yuri answers truthfully but threaten to kill them if they reveal that she was here. Hemus recognizes Yuri as the "Infamous Troublemaker", but Dravy is courteous and identify herself as part of FUG and that she is there on the request of Ha Jinsung, which she image Yuri is too. Yuri does not seem happy at the mention of Jinsung, which makes Dravy flustered and claims all the other women where chosen so they would not offend Yuri and that she would not want to lose the real Black March that is in Baam's possesion. In response, Yuri just becomes exasperated and asks for Dravy to take her to Baam, but Hemus becomes suspicious of Yuri's frequent mention of Baam and asks if Yuri is participating in the tournament (since that would be unfair). Yuri says that she is not interested in the tournament, but at the same time she won't let anybody else have Baam (so she is participating). As Yuri is being guided out from the central lobby a book falls from the sky, which grabs Yuri's attention and the people inside the book notice that the book has stopped moving. Yuri notes that it unusual for books to fall from the sky, at least when not on the Ark of Knowledge, which leads Yuri to think it is some sort of trap and she tries to destroy it. As Yuri tries to destroy the book Tiara, Khun, and Rak appear from it and Tiara kicks Yuri into a wall after taking the book from out of her hands. This annoys Yuri and she brings out the Green April and Tiara also ready herself for battle.
