Yes! We are victorious! Truly, the day is ours. I expected not for Earth to carry so many talking beasts, yet here we are.
[Well, someone's happy. Sielje's spirits are high after the Cassowary Emperor has been stopped - for good.]
I suggest we celebrate by trying ourselves. A friendly bout, a training fight. I gladly accept any challenges.

[A few days later, the Ankaian knight can be found around the simulator area. Apparently she figured out the controls enough to be able to use at least the most basic mobile suit functions - a pretty good time, all things considered. And yet...]
[Even the simplest combat scenarios Sielje tried out always went the same: ignore ranged weaponry or ambushes and rush the enemy into melee. Be suppressed by the foe's superior range. Try to dodge and use terrain for cover, get overwhelmed, explode. Repeat over and over again.]
Why...
Why is it this way?
[She sits in the simulator cockpit, obviously frustrated and tired. The monitors display scenario history, at least a dozen attempts failed.]

...
[Trying to forget about her fiasco, the knight has chosen several books to distract herself with.]
How large is Australia, anyway?
[The books in question are: a technical manual of some handheld rifle, the original version of an old story she saw the movie adaptation of, a monthly fashion magazine, and a picture storybook about animals.
Regardless of contents, she studies each one carefully, with a concentrated look on her face.]

Can't count how many times I saw a guy with a mecha sword totally whacked a guy with mecha rifle, eventhough by all purpose, the guy with mecha rifle should've won.

People of Earth see melee combat as underneath them, and want to discourage it completely?

Or maybe this is exactly the point of the simulator? Having the melee underpowered, so when you're in the real battle, you're used of being handicapped and move sharper than in simulator? Like how you train with weighted clothings?

Is this what you do?

Yes, some muscle-head do train with weighted clothings, eventhough according to medical science it's rather dangerous for your body. They do things like wearing heavily weighted bracelets and anklets and shirts while they're training, or even in their daily life, so they're used to the weight, and supposedly, when they remove the weight for actual competition, they'll feel so light that they can move faster. It destroys their body, but I guess that's life for you?
You seriously don't do that in Ankaia? I thought Ankaian would be totally into that.

Please excuse me.
[Sielje stands up. Time to look for some weighted clothing.]
