Havia manages to delay the demolition dam while Qwenthur and Froylatia split up to find the Break Carrier. Qwenthur spots the Break Carrier and manages to signal its position to Milinda, who uses Baby Magnum's plasma cannon to fire straight through a mountain and destroy the Break Carrier. Victorious, Halreed's unit withdraws from the dam. However, Quenser suspects that the MDC may have a second Object that they have kept hidden. Halreed then contacts Froylatia announcing that he has been advanced to be the first place suitor, and attempts to force her out of the army to marry him. Qwenthur, on his own initiative, fools Halreed into believing that he has had an illicit relationship with Froylatia. Disgusted that Froylatia would sleep with a commoner, Halreed scraps his marriage plans, much to Froylatia's embarrassment and relief.
"Objects" are powerful, massive weapons that change the course of warfare and are manned by Elite Object pilots. An odd Elite girl named Milinda meets Quenser, a student who aims to become a Object mechanic, with the soldier-in-training Heivia on a snowy battlefield.
