Episode Title:
Boundary Line.
Episode Description:
An engineer from an impoverished country called El-Tanica comes to the ISPV 7 to have his new spacesuit tested. No company or department will agree to test his unusual suit because of the lowly status of his home country until the Debris Section volunteer to help him with the basic testing procedures, monitored by Claire, who is revealed as a native of El-Tanica. During the final set of tests, in outer space proper, Hakim receives orders from INTO to arrest the engineer and return him to El-Tanica under protective custody. Hachimaki manages to buy time to complete the final tests, which are all successful. Although Claire is able to prevent Hakim from arresting the engineer, the engineer accepts being taken into custody, having accomplished his goal of proving that even third-world countries can reach space.
