[Backdated to only a few days or so before the Unity Group opening, a trio of blue mobile suits arrive at Alhambra Base. And their squad leader is the first to introduce himself.]
Greetings. You might be wondering what the three new arrivals in the hangars are - they're Virgola mobile suits, test units for a future mass-produced series. And we're here to be their test pilots, Glory Stars at your service!
My name's Denzel Hammer, and these two are my subordinates. Lt 1st class Toby Watson.
Hey, nice to meet y'all!
And 2nd Lt Setsuko Ohara, a new member of the team.
It is... a pleasure to meet you.
We're here to do tests, gather combat data and such, but don't worry, we'll fight too! If there's a combat, Glory Stars got your back.

[After the opening announcement.]
What was that supposed to be?
[Denzel and Toby are sharing drinks in the mess hall and laughing good naturedly about the broadcast's awkwardness. Setsuko is nowhere to be seen.]

So this is what test mobile suits look like nowadays.
Oh right, I should introduce myself also. Name's Willis Clades.

Hey, Toby! Get in line you miscreant.
Sorry about that. Nice to meet you, Clades.

Actually, I just arrived here myself.
[And then she realizes something.]
Come to think of it, wasn't this place a test site as well? Maybe you'll have an easier time getting used to it.

It's fine, it's fine.
I have to say though, they don't look like the standard ESUN Mobile Suits.

In any case, you seem pretty confident in your units. Have they seen actual combat before?
From:

[Directed towards Setsuko.]
From:

The Virgolas are newly developed so unlike their pilots no, they don't have any actual combat experience yet.
We're here to change that.

[Setsuko seemed out of it, but your question snapped her back into reality.]
No... I am afraid I do not, sir.
From:
no subject
If you ever need to practice against someone though, don't be afraid to ask.
From:
no subject
I'm kind of in the same boat, trying out fairly new equipment and such. It's not as daunting as completely new machines, though.
From:
no subject
Don't worry about us, we've got great skill! But thanks for your good wishes May-chan, they won't go to waste.
From:
no subject
I am already practicing with my team mates. But thank you for the offer - more pilots and machines to spar with means more combat data, doesn't it?
Oh? Are you trying to hit on my junior, Will?
From:
no subject
Just try not to push yourselves too hard. You've got a new member around, after all.
[She looks over at the quiet girl.]
...Ms. Ohara, was it?
From:
no subject
[He says that but he looks rather coy at the moment.]
From:
no subject
Umm, Lieutenant?
Relax, I am not trying to start a fight!
From:
no subject
[Quiet indeed. Setsuko didn't say a word for the whole exchange.]
I mean, ah. Yes. That is me. 2nd Lt Setsuko Ohara.

Anyhow, I had a pretty tough time as a rookie. I'm still learning a lot right now too; but if you ever need an extra hand with anything, let me know.
From:

[Smile smile.]
My teammates are still off limits. Just saying.
From:
no subject
I actually do not have a hard time. Lt Watson and Chief are very helpful. But, thank you for your offer as well.

[Katina stands nearby in the mess, arms folded and looking challengingly at the two Glory Stars. Her body language is a lot more aggressive than her tone of voice, which is probably a good clue that she's a fellow pilot, assuming the jacket-half-unbuttoned Lieutenant's uniform wasn't.]
