In response, the Chevalier have approved the E-Pandora Project by Scarlett Oohara, which aims to make young woman who aren't genetically compatible with Stigmata into Pandoras despite oppositions by others including Professor Gengo Aoi, Kazuya's grandfather. At the Alaskan base where the world's top Pandoras have gathered, Chiffon introduces the others to Roxanne Elipton, Charles Bonaparte and Julia Munberk, the top Pandoras of Genetics America, France and Germany respectively. Together with Cassie and Chiffon, the five of them are the top five Pandoras of their generation. After trying their new uniforms, Scarlett explains she gathered the top Pandoras in collecting data to help the E-Pandora Project.
