After the two groups have a tense encounter, they gather all the info they've got and realize the Legitimacy Kingdom has been lured to attack the mine by the Faith Organization in order to get rid of the anti-war group for them.

Adaptation
Adapted from: Heavy Object: Global Shadow Chapter 2 Parts 6 - 11

Differences in Adaptation

 * The initial scene of the episode before the opening is almost completely original, with Monica's complaints being taken from a later scene with Froleytia.
 * In the novel, the possibility of the Wing Balancer having a bridge building device is a suggestion the team comes up with as they try to guess how it's planning to cross the cliff, not a speculation of the 37th's analysts.
 * In the novel, Heivia and Myonri survive the Wing Balancer blasting them with its air cushion while jumping over them because they got inside the coal mine's entrance in time (in Heivia's case) or are launched into it by the blast (Myonri's case).
 * In the novel, there's a short exchange between the Wing Balancer's Elite and the Faith Organization's control center when the Elite prepares to trick the Baby Magnum into taking the battle near the mine.
 * In the anime, the battle between the Wing Balancer and the Baby Magnum is shown instead of being shortly described by the narration from Froleytia's point of view. The scene with Froleytia discussing the battle with Milinda and Monica commenting on it are also original.
