Episode Description:
D-Boy is having a nightmare as he sleeps, sweat staining the sheets on his bed. Finally he
wakes up, and heads outside to look at the moon (this is getting to be a habit - I think his
subconscious is trying to tell him that the key to the Tekkaman system is there, or something.)
Freeman is heading into the bowels of the base, and the spy/correspondent is following him
secretly. Balzac realizes there is a secret level far below the lowest “public” level.
Carefully he notes all the various defenses of this super- secret area, and then returns to
his quarters to make plans. Later he is showing some of the photos he has taken to Honda, Rebin
and Miri - while subtly questioning them for more information on the Tekkaman system. Noal,
Aki and D-Boy then walk in. They question D-Boy if he has remembered any more about his past.
He looks pained and walks off, the correspondent on his heels. “If it’s causing you pain, then
you must be close to breaking through to those memories,” he says. “Perhaps it’s time you
started really thinking about those questions as to who you are - or were - and where you come
from,” Balzac adds. Freeman meanwhile is checking Balzac’s files with old friends back in the
EDF. Balzac and D-Boy are still talking, and D-Boy doesn’t like what the correspondent is
saying. (I think Balzac is questioning if D-Boy is really human or not - perhaps he’s afraid
to remember because he doesn’t want to remember that he isn’t human, but instead is some sort
of Radamu construct made to look like a human? I can’t follow all the dialog but this seems to
be the gist.) The alarm bells ring, and Balzac tells D-Boy to think over his words as the
warrior runs off. Shortly the “Blue Earth” is taking off, and D-Boy looks like he’s chewing
on a lemon even sourer than usual. When he has to go turn into Blade, D-Boy finds himself
reluctant to enter Pegas - it takes Aki’s scolding to bring him back to the reality of the
present, and he once more becomes Blade. Back at the base, Balzac is taking advantage of the
distraction caused by the current mission to retrace Freeman’s steps of the night before,
using his considerable skill to bypass or thwart all the defenses guarding the secret level.
Blade is out fighting the Radamu, and Aki is wondering if this is too easy - it looks like the
Radamu were lured here, perhaps as some sort of bait? Balzac has gained entry to the secret
level, and finds it filled with all sorts of Tekkaman prototypes. Then he is surprised by an
armed Freeman. “I know you’re an agent of Colbert,” he says. “So you see - we’ve been working
on duplicating the Tekkaman system...” He gives the startled spy a computer disk. “Here’s
the information you want,” the chief says. “Now - get out of here and go back to your master
before I have you thrown out!” (I think Freeman knows that the Space Knights don’t have the
resources or budget to finish developing the “Tekkaman Earth” body armor; this way he can trick
Colbert into doing it for them.) Blade has finished his mission and returns to the ship, which
then heads back to base. Balzac, leaving the base in a jeep, sees the “Blue Earth” return.
“Good-bye, I hope I never see you again, Space Knights!” he says as he drives off.
