Episode 5 Plot: While Irina is in the anechoic chamber, Lev returns to his usual training routine. Zirnitra's leadership sends Lyudmila Kharlova to inspect the site and the cosmonaut candidates. With Arnak having already announced its selected astronauts, Zirnitra is pressured to choose six candidates to be its official cosmonauts. Lyudmila assures everybody that the project is still on schedule and ahead of Arnack's space program. She also privately reminds Lev that Irina is a vampire and therefore not considered human. After Irina's solitude training is concluded, Lev puts her back on parachute training and she's able to perform a solo parachute drop. However, during training, they witness the reentry module for a test rocket crash nearby. Korovin explains that the rocket successfully reached orbit, but malfunctioned during reentry forcing them to remote detonate it. Zirnitran leadership orders Korovin to install a similar self destruct feature in Irina's rocket to prevent it falling into enemy hands. When Lev and Irina investigate the crash site, Irina sees the corpse of the test dog and goes into shock.
