However, the abuse from a fellow crew member, Steve, leads Knives to believe Rem's philosophy is nonsense and he begins to grow spiteful of humans. In his rage, Knives comes to the conclusion that the crew members must be exterminated as revenge. As part of his plot to do so, Knives comes to crew members Mary and Rolan with a plan to remove Steve by falsely claiming that he raped Mary. Despite Rem's pleas for Steve to stand a fair trial, the court orders him frozen and locked in cryostasis. Afterward, Rolan proposes to Mary and reveals he has rigged Steve's freezer to kill him. Mary is shocked by his actions and refuses, causing Rolan to go insane and repeatedly shoot her. Rem and the boys discover them and Rem tries to calm Rolan to stop him, however, the crew's captain, fearing Rem will be shot, opens the ship's cargo hatch and plunges Rolan and Mary's body into space, killing him. Rem firmly believes Rolan would not have shot her and expresses this to the captain. Knives comes alone to the captain, who is saddened by the uncertainty of his actions. Knives shows no sympathy and execute his plot by shooting and murdering the captain. He then sets the entire SEEDS fleet course for a crash landing on Gunsmoke, thus destroying the remains of the human race. Knives return to Rem and Vash and they make their way to the escape pods. Rem, however, stays behind believing she can save the surviving flee members. She leaves the boys in the pod and deploys it. Vash cries desperately for Rem to stay but she comforts him and tells him, "Take care of Knives." Whether Rem was aware of Knives plot is uncertain, but after the pod deploys Vash watches the ship explode with Rem onboard. Knives glares on with a deviant smile, but is shocked when the SEEDS fleet miraculously begins to change course. Rem was able to redirect the fleet before the ship exploded, resulting in her untimely demise.
