Each team is equipped with powered exoskeleton prototypes to test their effectiveness in recovering equipment from a dead spaceman.
Adrian does not support Space Flag, as he argues that it is not properly testing the Space Force and that space warfare violates the morals of space travel.
His exoskeleton selection offers limited mobility compared to the Air Force's exoskeleton, causing Mark to believe that he is trying to sabotage the exercise.
Throughout most of the exercise, the Air Force team, led personally by Grabaston defeats all of the Space Force team except Mark.
Adrian electronically interferes with the Air Force exoskeletons, allowing Mark to defeat the remaining team and win the exercise for the Space Force.
