Frustration!

[glorystargo]

What kind of bullshit "training exercise" was that?!

[Post-mission, the Glory Stars are in varying degrees of upset. Toby is furious for example. He paces between the two others, standing underneath their mobile suits after Virgolas are safely in the hangar.]

Using Grungust I can understand, but to set that crazy woman on us and make us think she wants to kill everyone? What kind of purpose does that serve!


She was so skilled... if she was serious, Tarisa and everyone else who tried to stop her would be...

[Including Setsuko, yes. She does not forget being swatted aside like a noisy fly.]


And the BETA! You said it yourself, this is a bit too much of a coincidence that they attacked just then. Right? Why don't you say something now, Chief?!

[The two look at Denzel, the Glory Star Leader with a serious face as he ponders silently. Finally he opens his eyes.]


Has there ever been an encounter with the BETA with only 1% casualty rate?

[Have you something to add to the discussion?]

You and me both. We're all on the same side here!

[cloningblues]

Is that their idea of preparing us for a BETA attack? Giving everyone a heart attack? Someone could've died!

If that's how the Imperial Guard does things, then I can kinda see why Yuuya hates them.

[glorystargo]

Somehow I don't think Yuuya limits himself to just the Imperial Guard.

[cloningblues]

No, he doesn't. But if from all Japanese people, he mostly has contact with them...

Anyway, enough about that guy. Good to see you all survived.

[glorystargo]

Looks like the "princess" wasn't going for a killing blow anyway, just pretending really well to.

As for the BETA... well, as much as it pisses me off to admit it, Chief's right. The casualties were so low, something must've worked there.

[cloningblues]

Another time when our presence turned a potential failure into a flawless victory, huh. Unity Group might be a collection of weirdos but it gets results.

[glorystargo]

Isn't that a happy little scenario?

But this time, I have a feeling something was stinking the place up.

[cloningblues]

There's something suspicious about that purple-haired scientist lady...

But she couldn't know about the Beta before the alarm, could she?

[glorystargo]

Maybe she's a BETA in disguise. She decided to abandon her own kin to aid humanity.

[cloningblues]

That's impo-
[Pause. After all that happened, Asagi can't be so sure anymore.]

...If that turns out to be true, I'll be mad.
