Ep 9. Deep Sea Secret

As Ledo continues to struggle with his newfound realization about the true nature of the Hideauze, he and Chamber are sent on a mission to explore the depths of the ocean surrounding Gargantia. The inhabitants of the fleet are curious about what lies beneath the surface, and hope that the exploration will provide them with new resources and information.

Ledo and Chamber board a new machine designed specifically for underwater exploration, and descend into the unknown depths. As they explore, they encounter a strange and hostile creature, unlike anything they have seen before. The creature attacks, and Ledo and Chamber are forced to fight back, using all of their skills and technology to stay alive.

At the same time, Amy and her friends join a traveling group of merchants, hoping to find new trade opportunities and discover more about the world outside of Gargantia. As they journey, they hear stories of ancient ruins and secrets hidden beneath the waves. Intrigued, they decide to investigate and follow Ledo and Chamber into the depths.

As the two groups converge, they discover a shocking secret about the planet, and the true nature of the Hideauze. Ledo is forced to confront his beliefs and his loyalty to the Alliance, while the crew of Gargantia is faced with a difficult decision about how to proceed.

Meanwhile, on the surface, tensions rise as the fleet prepares for a possible attack from enemy forces. Ledo's absence and the discovery of the underwater ruins only add to the uncertainty and fear.

In the end, Ledo and his allies must make a difficult choice, one that will determine the fate of Gargantia and its people. Will they choose to protect their home, or will they seek the truth and risk everything they have worked for? The answer lies, as always, in the depths of the unknown.
