Meanwhile, on Star Rose...

[It's been a busy period of time for Flit, let me tell you that.  Getting situated, getting used to new threats -in addition to new aliens blargh-, and most importantly...]

Alright, now carefully... I'd rather we didn't have to use the AGE Builder to make a replacement for this one.  In fact, that would pretty much destroy the whole purpose of this!

[Along with some of the Diva's mechanic and engineering crews, Flit's been throwing himself into a new project: learning everything they can about the DODS Rifle so they can reverse-engineer it.  And doing that entails dismantling the entire thing to see just what goes on in it.  The outer casing of one side gradually is lifted up by a crane, exposing the inner workings of the rifle barrel and Flit can't help but snort a little bit.]

I hope this doesn't blow up in our faces.

[Especially since the hostage situation at the Sakihama base would've gone differently had those police machines been using stronger beam guns.]

[As much as you'd think Flit would commit every waking hour to his work, well he's still got some of that child innocence left in him.  The kind that means that when work for the day comes to an end, he decides to pick up where he left off in exploring Star Rose.  The layout's so different from Nora... and more than anything-

[Oh hey, there's some fish outside of the window.

[Wait.  He turns, looking and... he can see the refracting of light through the water outside, the fish swimming to and fro.  It's not a hologram, that's for sure.]



This...

How long have they had this here?

Since ever... I think. How do you think Star Rose gets fresh food?

Are you mass producing the Gundam, Flit?

I don't know, but it's just an aquarium. Never seen one before?

Wouldn't be a particularly well designed weapon if it did, now would it?

[Ataru asks as he comes in, leaning on a nearby railing.]

Though, to think you actually need to dismantle your own weapon to understand it... that's like a total reverse of the reason you make your own weapon.

Watch out Flit. While you're being distracted by the beautiful sights, suddenly out of nowhere a small child runs near you and you almost trip over him!

"Waah!"

You manage to avoid falling down, but the boy does not, he's sprawled on the floor.

Yes... these creatures are prisoned in a mockery of their own habitat... A reminder to our own hubris.
