After The Shirogane Rescue Operation

[holdthefuture]

[After it was known that Carina's faction was part of Cambio Protocol, it was decided that Lenore, who still held Kazan, would be at greater risk participating in the mission. She ended up not sortieing despite her insistence.

That bothers her, though not as much as what happened at the end of the mission. Since she was in the SSR before as well, Brye and Rani's departure from both groups was not welcome news...and then there was the revelation of Commander Linjun trying to discredit the UG using the two as spies, putting her in an unfavorable position by association.

It's generally not a good time to be former SSR.

Feeling rather lost, she stands before the hangar station that once held the Grungust Alpha and Huckebein Omega, looking up at the empty space where the machines would have been.]

We didn't know each other that well. But, we fought together even before the Unity Group. I...I don't think that you're bad people at all. Although...

...

I don't understand. Does changing this world your own way really mean that much...?

With that Loni person after the same thing, I wonder how it'll go.

I heard he's pretty tough, but you guys have fought him more than I have.

More like impossible to stop or reason with. Like a slasher movie villain...

But, yes, no matter what else they are, him and his friends are talented pilots with powerful mecha.

[holdthefuture]

And like those two, they originally worked with you...

[She doesn't want to consider the common ground both Rani and Brye had with that group there.]

[majestic_keiki]

There's no similarity there.

Loni and his friends left because they committed crimes and got imprisoned for them. Brye and Rani left because they wanted to pursue their own path in their own way.

...But both are trying to do what they think is right, aren't they? Being heroes.

[majestic_keiki]

Loni's idea of being a hero is that everything he does is good and justified and everybody trying to talk sense to him is just jealous and trying to hold him back. His friends are worse.

Are you really going to claim that Brye and Rani are anything like that?

[holdthefuture]

...I don't know.

That's what I'm trying to understand... people with that kind of power who want to change the world.

[majestic_keiki]

It seems dangerous, no matter who gets it...But there are worse people to get it.

I hope they think it through and we don't need to get between them and the seals.
