On the Orion, Kaoru familiarizes himself with the controls, Porte, Shingo and Chako head for the engineering room, while Sharla and Adam hide in the aft cargo hold. On the beach, Bob makes a raft from logs, and as the children race to intercept, they cast off. Using Bob's cyborg arm as an outboard motor, they quickly move out of arrow rage. Luna uses her power to warn Adam, and he warns the others. Porte installs the gyrostabilizer and the engine powers up. However, as Kaoru begins liftoff, the escapees board the ship through the aft cargo hold's hatch. They pass Sharla and Adam without noticing them, and head for the bridge, where the rest have holed themselves up.
