Verdant Yukon.
Episode Description:
US test pilot Yuuya Bridges and his engineer friend Vincent Lowell transfers to Yukon, Alaska to be part of the United Nation's international test corp Project PROMINENCE, which aims to test and experiment new TSF technology. Yuuya and Vincent join the Argos Test Flight, which aims to develop a new TSF for Japan. After getting to know the members of Argos Flight, the Turkish commander Ibrahim Doğulu, test pilots Nepali Tarisa Manandal, Italian Valerio Giacosa and Sweden's Stella Bremer and Development Chief Yui, Tarisa refuses to accept Yuuya as the new leader of Argos Flight due to the fact he has never fought in the front lines unlike the rest of them. To settle things, Yuuya proposes a two on two TSF duel between him and Stella against Tarisa and Valerio. To make things fair, he allows Tarisa to pilot the advance F-15･ACTV TSF while the rest pilot the F-15E TSF. Yuuya uses his tactical genius and teamwork with Stella to defeat Valerio and Tarisa which the latter finally accepts him. Later, Yuuya encounters Yui and is angered when she didn't find his duel impressive but disappointing.
