On arriving at Paradiso, The team attempted to slip part the unexpected Early Warning systems only to be detected and stopped by orbital police. As the mission was supposed to be top secret they broke quarantine procedures, entered Paradiso airspace and attempted to land but were captured upon arrival.

The Main protagonists were then tried and sentenced to Judicial Rejuvenation, requiring that they be forced to endure a string of sequential childhoods under the care of exceedingly strict parents and regularly spanked as per the conditions, rules and conventions established in Melody's Stories.
