15. Human Behavior
Edible ginger gear, Four uses.
When the show opens, Eureka isn't feeling well, absently replying to questions from the children. However, when Renton is given permission to go out in order to collect a rare and expensive fruit, Eureka asks to come along in order to fly with Nirvash. She spends an hour and a half putting the LFO through its paces and seems to struggle with her splintering connection with Nirvash.
Eventually, Renton, Eureka, and Matthieu arrive at Controrad, a familiar place from Renton's childhood that is covered in propaganda for the hero, Adrock Thurston. When they are caught by Renton's uncle who staunchly supports the government, Renton begins to spin a lie in order to cover for them. The lie continues to grow from Renton's boastful uncle who introduces Eureka as Renton's fiancee and an elite student which she pays little attention to. Eureka is focused upon leaving, not keeping pace with the situation at all.
However, when the military arrives to take Matthieu in custody and later Eureka, Renton's uncle is shown to be ultimately self-serving. In order to save Eureka and Matthieu, Renton pilots the Nirvash to fight off the government forces and steal the van that was transporting them away. Upon seeing Nirvash, Eureka becomes upset, though. She recognizes that Nirvash is behaving under the influence of Renton. When they return empty-handed, she continues to be frustrated by him, keeping him away from the Nirvash, while she refuses to get close to it as well.

In order to release Miss Tiptory, Gekkostate arrives at Ciudades del Cielo which fills Eureka with anxiety as she recalls the past. In the midst of her remembrances, Eureka sees Renton rushing away and asks Holland about where he went. Holland apologizes which causes her to take off in the Nirvash to find him.
In time, Eureka lands in a camp of Vodarac followers, calling out for Renton. Immediately, the followers begin to hurl stones at her. As Renton rushes out to protect her, she acknowledges that the accusations that she was a dog of the military are true. This exchange is interrupted by sirens, and are told a routine bombing of the area is going to commence. Hiding away in a cave with the cave, Renton and Eureka talk about the skirmish with the followers. Eureka insists that nothing can be done about how they treated her, saying that it is only what she deserves. She goes on to explain her past with Holland and the Special Operation Forces, and Renton is shocked by the revelations before confronting Eureka with his view of her actions and motivations.
As Renton climbs Nirvash in order to stop the bombings, Nirvash responds by jerking forward, moving under its own power. Eureka is stunned, agreeing to go with Renton because Nirvash says that she should. Together, the two disable the ship conducting the bombing by destroying reflectors in order to limit their vision, rather than destroying the ship, which Holland recognizes as uncharacteristic of Eureka's piloting style. Renton talks with Eureka about the choices that she made in the past and today, saying that she hasn't changed, which Eureka tearfully denies. Later, in the hangar of the Gekkostate, she speaks with Nirvash, questioning if she truly has changed.
RENTON: Why did they all do this to you? They seem like really nice people.
EUREKA: It can't be helped. It can't be helped. It's my own fault that they're doing this to me.
RENTON: But, I can't believe they'd do something like this to a girl...
EUREKA: It can't be helped! Because of what I did here ... Because I killed so many people here! Annihilate all the people living in this city... That was the mission given to us, the SOF.
RENTON: SOF? Wasn't that...?
EUREKA: The squadron we used to be in. A military special operations force.
RENTON: Then ... Are you saying that Gekkostate was originally... ?
EUREKA: That's right. We would do anything that we were ordered to. We were just a squad of murderers...
RENTON: No ... Then, the rumors were actually true...?
EUREKA: There was no reason. We would just follow orders. It was proof that I could exist as I was. Besides... Back then, I couldn't believe in anything... Or anyone other than Holland or Nirvash. And that's why, if Holland told me to fight, I would fight. But then ...
RENTON: Are you saying the children you found then are ... ?!
EUREKA: Maeter, Maurice, and Linck.
RENTON: No way... Then, does that mean the commander of that operation was ... ?!
The leader of our team, the SOF's leader, was Holland.
RENTON: But, but, you guys really couldn't help it, right? I mean, there was a war going on back then, right? And, you were a soldier—
EUREKA: You don't understand! We're still fighting a war. What we're doing isn't a game or a sport. When I fight, people get hurt. And die ... You might not have realized it yet but, Renton ... You're now a part of this, too. Part of this war ...
EUREKA: We intend to atone for the sins we've committed in any way we can. But, more importantly, we have to stay alive no matter what. We have to stay alive, and make sure we complete our mission. And in order to do that, I'm willing to do anything.
RENTON: Then, Eureka ... You mean you brought me with you in order to fight?!
EUREKA: That's right. Because the Nirvash won't work properly without you. And without the Nirvash, we won't be able to complete our mission.
RENTON: What's that supposed to mean?! I don't know anything about your mission or whatever it is, but if that's the case, then ... Why did you rescue Maeter and the others when you were here?! It's not that I believe everything is exactly as you said. But, the fact is you left the military because you didn't want to kill innocent people just because you were ordered to, right? You're sitting there talking about missions and stuff, but that's really no different from the orders the military gave you! Eureka, you're lying to yourself! You don't want to see innocent people continue to be killed, right?! You're going to atone for your sins in any way you can, right?!
EUREKA: But, if we go out right now, we'll cause trouble for Holland and the others ...
RENTON: Oh, is that so?!
EUREKA: Renton! What are you doing?!
RENTON: I'm going to make the military stop bombing with the Nirvash!
EUREKA: It's too dangerous!
RENTON: I can't just sit and watch Miss Tiptory and the others here get killed!
EUREKA: I feel the same way you do about that!
RENTON: Then, let's go together, Eureka!
RENTON: Ow... I didn't do anything, and it just ... Eureka?
EUREKA: Let's go, Renton. The Nirvash is telling me that I should do what you say, Renton.
RENTON: Eureka ... Eureka! Look to the right. Hey, did you know? They say that this is a place that makes everyone choose something. So, that means you must have chosen something here too, Eureka. Besides, like Miss Tiptory told me, no matter how much the appearance of this place changes, it doesn't change the fact that this place is what it is. I think what you chose to do here a long time ago is really something amazing, and even now the fact that it's amazing doesn't change. In the same way that this place doesn't change. You know, it really doesn't matter what choices you made in the past, because I still believe in you. And besides, I also believe that you actually haven't changed one bit from the person you were back then.
EUREKA: I have changed. I think that maybe I have changed ... Ever since you came and joined us, I think maybe I have changed.
EUREKA: I haven't changed. I really haven't changed, have I? Isn't that right? That's right, isn't it? Right, Nirvash?

While fawning over his cover of Ray=out, Renton asks Eureka if she thinks he looks cool. She doesn't understand the question and asks him in turn if he would like go shopping with her in town. When the group heads out, the Gekkostate discusses another questionable job . . . After doing a lot of shopping with Renton insisting on carrying the bags, Eureka arrives at the last items on the list, textbooks and notebooks, since "studying is important, supposedly". Maeter teases Renton about not studying and throwing up, asking if Eureka would like someone like that, before running off. Linck then starts teasing Renton who becomes fed up and begins to chase Linck around the street. Eureka notices that Maeter has been out of sight for too long and runs off to find her which causes Maurice and Linck to panic that everyone is going to leave them.
When Eureka returns without Maeter, Renton senses that she's upset, but Maeter calls out to them from a nearby house. Before rushing to her daughter, Eureka asks Renton what she should do to discipline her, and Renton uncertainly replies that a slap would fit. Accordingly, Eureka greets Maeter with a hard slap, telling her that everyone was worried. She then pets the crying girl and agrees to sit down to tea with the woman that found Maeter, Miss Tiptory.
Everyone enjoys the tea together until a bomb crashes into the room, failing to go off, thankfully. Holland and the crew of the Gekkostate appear to capture Tiptory as she is a high-ranking member of Vodarac who is wanted by the government and has a bounty on her head. Slipping through Gekkostate's fingers, Tiptory makes a quick exit on her scooter and is chased across the town by the crew. After capturing her, Eureka sense Renton's unease, asking if he's unhappy. Renton sullenly asks her how he can be happy with this. After her capture, Tiptory insists that the crew come have dinner at her home in order not to waste food which only makes Renton more upset with the situation and Eureka quietly watches him.
At the site of the exchange, Nirvash suddenly appears with with Renton dropping down to steal Tiptory away. They have a quick dogfight with the military which ends with Gekkostate soundly defeating them. As everyone returns back to the Gekkostate, the kids say that Eureka was cool while the crew discusses what to do with Tiptory. Afterwards, they muse over the changes occurring in the government, the reorganization of the military, the movement of troops, the mass production of compac drives, and the fact that Gekkostate is not public enemy number one yet . . . Shortly afterwards, Eureka passes out the workbooks to the children and to Renton as well, easily disarming him by saying he was cool and that the Nirvash laughs when he does.
Later on, when everyone is sleeping, Eureka quietly wonders why her head is hurting . . .
