In Eureka Seven season 1 episode 15 titled "Human Behavior," the crew of the Gekko-Go is on a mission to retrieve a Vodarac holy relic, the Amita Drive, from a military base. Meanwhile, the Nirvash's transformation system is malfunctioning, and Eureka's condition is deteriorating.

As the crew infiltrates the military base, they encounter several obstacles including surveillance cameras and security guards. Holland decides to split up the team, sending Renton and Eureka to retrieve the Amita Drive while he and the others create a diversion.

Renton and Eureka manage to locate the Amita Drive, but are ambushed by a group of soldiers who capture Eureka. Renton goes after her and finds her restrained in a laboratory. There, he meets one of the scientists responsible for the Nirvash's transformation system, Dr. Greg "Bear" Egan.

Back in the laboratory, Renton and Eureka are able to escape with the help of Dr. Egan's assistant, who turns out to be a Vodarac spy. However, Eureka's condition worsens, and she falls into a coma. This forces the crew to make a difficult decision: whether to hand over the Amita Drive to the Vodarac in exchange for their help in saving Eureka.
