A month before the Tenth Zenith of Things Tournament (ZOTT) in ES 591, the Jupiter System Union launched Operation Lawnmower to counteract the increasing neonatal survival rate in the asteroid belt.[2] They targeted the SNS' home base on the asteroid Szeged, managing to lure the SNS Guntroll away. During the bombardment of Szeged, Laib was able to get the children on Szeged into four storage units and used his railsuit to launch them at the Guntroll, which had returned but was too late to stop the attack. Right after he launched the children Szeged exploded, killing Laib. The SNS was later able to retrieve the remains of his railsuit, which Niz contemplated by himself in a storage room prior to Round 1 of the ZOTT. During his fight with Sechs. Niz asked for his father to give him strength and kept him in his thoughts.
