Commanders Eve Kim and Santiago Gonzalez Garcianto entered the space station with Gong Ryong and the fruit flies. They received a warm welcome from the astronomers on board.

He brought ice creams for everybody on board.
The astronomers on board were excited to get ice creams. Researcher Kang Kang Su took the first cup, followed by Mina Lee, Lee Seung Jun, and Garcianto. Eve Kim and Gong Ryong had an argument about the ice cream. When the commander took the vanilla ice cream, the space tourist chased her. He asked her to try the mango ice cream and return the vanilla ice cream because he could not have mango ice cream.
The commander becomes suspicious of the space tourist. She does a quality check, which makes the space tourist anxious. The ice cream was not a simple gift prepared for the astronomers. Na Min Jeong’s eggs were stored inside a cup of ice cream. Since Gong Ryong had asked Choi Jae Ryong to hide the eggs inside the vanilla cup, he became anxious when the commander heated the cup. Fortunately, the eggs were not inside the vanilla cup.
