GGG arrives in the Trinary Solar System to find a replica of Earth - like all the previous replicants, this is an off-color version. Its only inhabitant is a replica of Papillon Noir, who reveals that this replica of Earth was created moments prior to her original's death by a misfire of the Pas-Q Machine. As it is only part of the complete regeneration machine, the Pas-Q Machine can only produce imperfect duplicates. Papillon was the only human duplicate that was stable enough to survive for more than a few seconds. The Galeon and Mamoru previously met were also Pas-Q Machine duplicates.
