<p>Recently, I did broader research (read the manga version). Based on this, I would like to give a try to answer my own question.</p>

  <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> I do understand that manga and anime of <em>Arpegio of Blue Steel</em> is completely different story but some concepts overlap and there is a possibility that manga-based explanation would work for anime too.</p>

<p>In manga, Osakabe Tojurou gave Makie false memories about her past and her family. According to them, Makie had a grandpa, whom was deeply attached emotionally to. Tojurou used the opportunity that I-401 departed from Yokosuka port (2 years before original plot) and tuned the false memories that her grandpa wend aboard and did never return.</p>

<p>The thing is, Makie heard somehow that I-401 arrived back in the port and planned escape from mansion in order <strong>to see her grandpa.</strong></p>

<p>Fact that can help confirm the hypothesis:</p>

<ul>
<li>She appeared near the same Hangars when found Kirishima's core and Haruna. It was on her way to Yokosuka port.</li>
</ul>

<p>Fact that can help deny the hypothesis:</p>

<ul>
<li>In manga, her stuffed bear named Yotarou was gift given by grandpa. In anime we can see photos that she received it from Tojurou himself.</li>
</ul>

<p>I have a question about scene from 5th Episode of Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio Ars Nova anime TV series. (at about 1:20)</p>

<p>It was depicted that Osakabe Makie was talking with a harbor employee with an assistance of military soldier.</p>

<p>Chihaya Gunzou said to Iona when noticied her on monitor:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>That girl... Do you remember her?</p>
</blockquote>

<p>My question is: <strong>What was she doing there?</strong> and <strong>What was she talking about?</strong></p>

<p>I assume that </p>

<ul>
<li>All works on Vibration Warhead were done and they did not need any advises from her.</li>
<li>She didn't yet realize that her guests were of <em>Fog</em>.</li>
</ul>

It was depicted that Osakabe Makie was talking with a harbor employee with an assistance of military soldier.

Chihaya Gunzou said to Iona when noticied her on monitor:

> That girl... Do you remember her?

My question is: **What was she doing there?** and **What was she talking about?**

I assume that

* All works on Vibration Warhead were done and they did not need any advises from her.
* She didn't yet realize that her guests were of *Fog*.
