1. After the battle, you find the massive tank parked on Sakihama's base, still smoking and dented in various places, and dwarfing most other vehicles there.
And not long after, you find a video introduction waiting for you. The face on the other side of the video is a teenage girl, lightly bandaged on a few places with light bruises showing here and there.
"Hi all. My name is Hikari Shimamura, the pilot of Bahamut Metalia. That's the giant tank you see on the hangar. Say hello, Metallder."
A cut in shows the tank. A calm-sounding voice replies.
"Hello."
Hikari then continues.
"We've been fighting the Beast of Starmind for a while now, but usually their activity were limited around our hometown of Asayajima. How they appear a long way from there caught us off guard."
Bahamut Metalia's voice follows.
"Yes,it is quite a disconcerting thought."
Hikari continues again.
"After some discussions by a lot of people, it's been decided that Bahamut Metalia should be attached to Unity Group for easier deployment in case the Beast of Starminds appears again some other places, since eventhough he is very strong and though, Behemoth Metalia isn't really made for fast travel."
Bahamut Metalia's voice replies again calmly."
"It's Bahamut."
Hikari cheerfully bows out of the video.
"Please take care of us!"
2. At the place designated for Bahamut Metalia, you can see some teens hanging out, completely dwarfed by the giant land battleship. One of them is Hikari, she's sitting on a small turret located at the lower part of Bahamut Metalia's hull, still bandaged on a few places, her legs are swinging back and fro.

"That was reckless as always, Hikari Shimamura."
A cold-sounding girl with black hair and unamused expression leans at Bahamut Metalia's track, cleaning up her pilot goggles with some piece of felt cloth.

"Yes! I cant believe you used Gravity Burst Slash again! I thought you've promised that you'll never use that again!"
A boy shakes his fist and berates Hikari. It seems that he's been doing this for a while.

"Sheesh, why do you have to nag me all the time, Katsuhiko? I know I promised, but it was an emergency, alright? Bahalia, back me up here."

"I wash my metaphorical hand out of this, Hikari. Please, please don't involve me on this." Bahamut Metalia's calm voice resonates from the tank. You can almost sense... fear out of it? It then continues it conversation that was interrupted by Hikari's request. "And Shoji, as you see from the reports, the output of my Hellbore Cannon is satisfactory, but the recharge rate is indeed dangerously slow. Can't you do something about it?"

And the last youth is chuckling at the others' conversation, before continuing his work on his laptop that's connected to Bahamut Metalia. Some other technicians are working at various places of Bahamut Metalia's hull, but the youth seems to be directing them.
"I can't do much about it, Metalia. It's part of your original design. But maybe if we replace your main plasma capacitor with some smaller parallel capacitors..."
(Feel free to join all of them in this scene, or catch one of them specifically a bit later after this conversation end and they're doing their own stuffs.
Also, some might recognize the black haired girl as the heir of Tachibana Corporation, one of Japan's bigger company. And some, though it'd be rarer, might recognize the last youth as Shoji Matsuyama, a relatively well-known genius youth that's been refusing all request to join some top level university and corporations in the world, and the grandson of Daisetsu Matsuyama, a retired famous scientist. But maybe you don't.)

I know how difficult that is. On the other hand, you seem to be doing well regardless.
Not only did you finish off Dojo...Doujin...mh...the Turtle... but that mountain, too. I've not seen anything like that last attack.

It's almost like looking into a mirror, wouldn't you say Elma?
I'm not so sure. After all, Miss Hikari's definitely a lot younger than-
[BONK. Selena's fist crashes into the top of the Subot's head.]
Actually you may be onto something Elma. Bahamut Metallia's probably a lot sturdier than you too.
At any rate, it's a pleasure to meet you two. Welcome to the Unity Group!

And I don't really see why I would need arms. I don't need to put food into my mouth using my hand, or scratch my back when I feel itchy. I don't need to stretch my limbs to get rid of muscle knots. I don't need to use my fingers to type into keyboards to interface with other computers.
