Episode 2

S1 E2: Rei lies comatose, wounded in combat, while Bukhar continues to conduct tests on FRX-00, an improved version of the unmanned fighter FRX-99 Rafe in anticipation of Rei's eventual reinstatement.

At that moment, as if called back to consciousness, Rei awakens. Was the attack on TAB-15 the result of a malfunction? Or was it something more sinister…?
