1. [The mercenary who helped out in the fight against Sapphire Eyes and her goons shows up. And he turns out to be a hulking metal colossus. One who's wearing a long coat, for some reason.]
Hello. I am Daniel, an independent contractor. Or merc, if you prefer. Your commanders agreed to hire me, and I'll work for Unity Group now. I always wanted to do that; I think that's my most prestigious boss yet. If you don't trust me, check my website. It has credentials.
There are two things I'm asking in return. First, don't touch the Gun of God and Apostle's Armory. I'll handle them. The rest of Steel Wanderer is fine for touching. Second, I'm looking for my friends, Maggie and Bobby. If you've seen them, let me know.
...I'm also asking for payment, but your commander covers it. So it's technically three things.
2. [The website in question turns out to be embarassingly amateurish - like something out of Geocities, or Japanese internet. It even has a midi song playing in the background (a theme from some old western movie). But there are recommendations from previous people Daniel worked for, and they have only good things to say. And it seems he never took any morally questionable jobs, only honest ones like protecting settlements or convoys.
Feel free to comment on the website to other people or to Daniel.]
3. [Steel Wanderer kneels down in the hangar. It looks like the mech's only visible weapon is a hugely oversized revolver - the Gun of God Daniel mentioned. The cyborg is here too, operating some kind of console, connected with a cable to Wanderer's shoulder-mounted Apostle's Armory system. The console is full of switches, and screens showing unlabelled charts that mean nothing to an untrained eye, but Daniel doesn't look lost, and operates it with confidence. Finally, he presses a button, the Armory starts to buzz, and after a few seconds, it spits out a mecha-sized bullet on the hangar's floor. Only then Daniel notices he has company.]
Yes?

[The reason being that Kei and Tamaki were running around in all kinds of promos while Izuru was busy sitting at home. That's the only reason, totally.]

Kinda hard to do the jobs for them because... well, you know. But there must be something I can do.

I don't know what. I don't know you, I don't know them. But you do.

[Izuru runs away somewhere. But here he comes, returning quickly enough.
With a sketchbook.]
Can you make a cool pose?

[Daniel suddenly draws his gun, spins it on his finger and then lifts its barrel, sending his coat flapping for a second through the motion.]
Like this?

Now...
[Izuru looks up at the cyborg and down at the sketchbook - where he already starts to draw some lines.]
Please stay like this, just for a sec! But, if you know a way to make the coat stop moving somehow...
