So far she is somehow following Asseylum's path as I suspected (hers being more schematic, here I hope they will fully expand it), not that's a surprise given their similar circumstances (as add-on Kudelia has the not so fascinating trait to wag its tails to Mika, as another poster mentioned
).
Her steps are slow of course, she lacks in a lot fields and the show started to "train her" from the basis, first on Mars first as apprentice cook then as a farmer. She then bumped against Mika and Atra' disinterest toward the more intrinsic politic aspects while working as delivery man and later becoming even a teacher.
Once she will end with the basics she will step to the intermediate course, like hopefully the next episode in which she will participate to the negotiations.
She has to step up before meeting whoever she has to. As of now she lacks of any skills.
Speaking of the episode sure it was overly convenient to find the connection they needed on board of that ship, but whatever, it was the best episode so far, excellent. And they made it even making the crew of said ship an all-female crew so I'm fine
I was't particularly enthusiastic of the previous fight, but this one worked a lot better. Ships fights (not comparable with Archangel IMHO, but quite enjoyable), and particularly Orga's surprise raid was the highlight, hopefully they will fully show it in the next episode.
Best part has been Biscuits and Orga confrontation, it's interesting how they are giving relevance to this not very healthy aspect of Orga and Mika relationships, it help developing all the characters making also their respective relations more interesting. Biscuits is becoming Orga's more restrained side or controller. Let's see if he will become someone with he will be able to relax and be himself. But probably it's not possible, he already gave more than enough unnecessary info to him. Among his men actually he can't. So I'm still putting my bets on
Kudel ehm Fumitan, the way he suddenly relied on her the previous episode could suggest to future troubles.

It does show that Orga holds all of his crew and important and doesn't feel like he's over them, but more so like he's working alongside them.

Usually I wouldn't be particularly fond of it if out of context, but here it fits well given Orga's characterization, or the idea I've of him as of now. Basically as said to Biscuits he is far from being a confident person, that is showed by the way he look up to Mika who is infallible at his eyes (and well also in-story so far)
as far as the ladies' man (I bet the new pilot girl will add to his harem soon ). His way to ask comes surely from his consideration toward them, but also from a low consideration of himself, otherwise he wouldn't feel inferior to Mika. About that feeling at this point probably we could say he applies it to his other members.
So it makes more sense when he wanted to sortie before despite the risks, since he doesn't see himself that worthy. The other needed to remind it to him.
All said keeping it in perspective with his role as a leader. Not that he feels himself useless.
As I said I'm curious to see who will be the one that will make him feel ease, otherwise sooner or later his being constantly bold will get in the way. At least now he has Biscuits who is aware of it, but he is not the right one to keep him in check when it will be needed. This episode showed it, Orga is like always going all-in if it comes to Mika, regardless the risks.
In any case looking forward to the next "boys meet girls" episode!!
