1.

[When the DuskBird returns to Sakihama Base and is dispelled back into Mizuki's shadow, the woman's limping and wincing.  And also in strange, regal apparel.  Black silks with gold embroidery, necklaces, a sash... lots of fancy stuff she didn't go out in.  And Sara's standing there, looking shocked and running to her friend's side.]



Mizuki...!  My god, with what happened out there.  You and Ken and... and everyone!  Don't... scare me like that!  Please!



I'm fine, I'm fine... just got a little taste of what some of my predecessors had to deal with.  And believe me... I'm glad to see a Sara who ISN'T trying to kill me.

[So have a friendly hug... just a noisy one because, again, all that jewelry.]

So... I was thinking...

... How do people feel about the word "Savior"?  Like the "Savior Team"... or "SolSavior".

Just two more: one for Ken and one for Sara. It's going to be a doozy developing them though, since the endgoal will be that they combine with the DuskBird to form a larger machine.

Provided their Sol reactors and the DuskBird's energies get along, this idea should work.

Then they are nowhere near completion yet. From what you said before, I thought they are almost ready.

Aren't solar and dark energies the complete opposites? Combining them together to power one machine might be an amazing show of harmony... Or it might rend it apart as they do not work together peacefully.

Last I heard, one of them is being finished up currently, but Solaris doesn't really have many resources to spare and the agreement with the Unity Group's been generous enough with what they're sending over. But the other one's not even been started yet since they'd rather have one finished machine than two machines only halfway done.

And you're right. It's risky to mix Sol and Void energies together. All the more reason to play it safe and work our way up to realizing the final product.

I hope to see the first new mecha soon, then. It's going to be more interesting in its abilities than a Genoace, I presume?
