The Titans decide to gas a colony in order to bring the Spacenoids to their knees and presumably end the Gryps Conflict in their favor. Jerid is picked to lead the team that will gas the colony, but they are thwarted by the AEUG before they have a chance to release the G3. The mayor of the colony is confronted and questioned by some of the Argama's crew members regarding his attempt to surrender to the Titans to prevent the colony's gassing.
