Summary
The army is determined to use the Eye of Mikhail to its advantage, and conducts the same experiments on Teito as it has done with Princess Ouka and the Eye of Raphael. Before they can begin, a messenger arrives and informs the scientists that both Wakaba Oak and Chairman Miroku are missing, but the scientists continue with the experiment.

As they attempt to access the psyche of the Eye, the system appears to malfunction and floods the computer with strange symbols as the Eye attempts to defend itself. It is revealed that the Chief of Heaven had recorded Verloren's judgement within Verloren's body, hence the abnormal amount of information stored within the Eye of Mikhail. The scientists attempt to get the Eye to obey them by appearing as a guardian towards the host, as the Eyes will obey those who adopt a guardian position. However, the Eye of Mikhail damages the restraints, which results in Mikhail awakening.

The scientists attempt to stop the experiment but are unable to as the machine will not allow them. Mikhail begins to destroy the lab and threaten the scientists, but is quickly apprehended by Ayanami and the Eye taken from him, with Doctor Nanase planning to utilise the Eye of Raphael to analyse Mikhail.
