.	Episode Description: Honda and D-Boy are repairing the damaged hull of the “Blue Earth” when Miri summons the team for another mission briefing. Rebin trips over Balzac and chews him out. Freeman shows them videotapes from a space satellite that has captured the images of a fleet of Earth-built supply vessels coming into Earth orbit. It seems a man named Dr. Carl was dispatched before the Radamu arrived to the asteroids around Jupiter, where he was put in charge of a mining operation. His fleet of supply ships is only now returning to Earth, it having taken several years for him to get to the asteroids, commence with mining operations, and then return. Unknown to the others, Freeman knows Carl very well. Carl had warned of the possibility of an attack, and Colbert had ignored him. Freeman, then Colbert’s aide, was sent to make sure Carl went on his mission, and witnessed the man’s tearful farewell to his family. Shortly “Blue Earth” and her crew is space bound once more, heading out to meet the fleet and attempt to protect it from Radamu predation. Soon they have boarded the lead ship and have introduced themselves to Dr. Carl. He asks for information about his family but they can give him none. After a brief break for tea, Carl takes them into the ship and shows them some of the defenses he’s built into the craft. Later, Noal and Aki wonder if the defenses will be enough to defeat the Radamu, while D-Boy broods. The Radamu arrive in force. Carl continues to plow on through them, activating the ships’ defenses. D-Boy becomes Blade, and the “Blue Earth” takes off to add its weapons to the protective shield around the supply fleet. Freeman tells them the fleet must get through at any cost, then talks briefly to Carl. Freeman tells him to be careful - and Carl replies that he now knows that his family is dead - what does he have to live for? He will get the fleet down, but if he dies in the process he won’t battle Death very hard. The Radamu attack Carl’s control cabin. D-Boy fights his way inside, and finds Carl mortally wounded. The man gives D-Boy his bracelet, that contains a picture of him and his family. He asks D-Boy to take it back to Earth, as a way of telling his family he did not forget them. He then dies. They manage to get the fleet safely down. Blade travels down with Dr. Carl’s body, as the Radamu clinging to the hulls of the ship are burned up by the heat of re- entry. The others worry momentarily when he does not immediately appear after they land, but Tekkaman finally emerges from the ocean. One of the EDF officers makes a narsty remark about people who weren’t there to go through the fighting with the Radamu. D-Boy looks at Carl’s bracelet while he talks, and slugs the officer before storming off.	.
