Several days later, Gustafson was on an interstellar shuttle leaving Earth, complaining about the spacecraft's air quality. Unbeknownst to him, Giraud was aboard the same flight, having been unknowingly assigned to it thanks to [[Mshak Moradi]] hacking ONI's flight schedule. Giraud recognized "Walker" and asked him why he was at Earth when he claimed have been on permanent vacation on Castellaneta. Gustafson stumbled for an answer, trying to avoid him until the flight staff sedated Giraud, under the pretense of him having been disrupting the flight. Discovery of his treatment by ONI after re-meeting "Walker" lead to Giraud abandoning his job with them and putting the recording of his encounter with Walker online.<ref name="five">'''Hunt the Truth''' ''Episode 005''</ref> | Several days later, Gustafson was on an interstellar shuttle leaving Earth, complaining about the spacecraft's air quality.

He also used Giraud's recording of Gustafson's voice to uncover his previous voice-acting work, and through it discovered that Gustafson was an actor. | Sometime after, "Walker"'s military records were analyzed by Giraud's friend [[Ray Kurzig]] to check for anomalies.
