Story arc
Lapis is a Captain in the Galaxy Federation's Special Operations Command Headquarters Intelligence Bureau. When the U-TIC Organization frames the Kukai Foundation for the destruction of the Woglinde, she personally arrives on the Durandal to place it under the Federation's custody. She orders Junior, chaos, Ziggy and MOMO arrested, as well as Gaignun and also has Shion and Allen taken in as witnesses. Lapis has everyone detained to a single room. Once there, she hands Gaignun a black box containing a cell phone which is directed connected to Helmer. Helmer reveals that Lapis is in fact a subordinate of his who entered the military in order to keep tabs on any possible U-TIC members infiltrating the Federation. She has come to the Durandal to personally investigate its records before someone in the Federation is able to tamper with it.

Lapis reveals her role to the party members soon afterwards. She tells them of the suspected plot to strip the Second Miltian government of its authority and asks if there is anything providing conclusive evidence of their innocence. Shion and Allen realize that KOS-MOS's database has a recording of the battle proving their innocence. By diving into the Encephalon they hope to make a copy of it. Lapis frees the party from their bonds and agrees to have Ziggy knock her out so it looks like the party members broke out. After recovering a record of the recording, Shion hands it over to Lapis, who officially permits the party their freedom, asking them to remain in the Miltian Star system until they are cleared of all charges.
