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?]

I'll keep talking until I find someone who listens.

Thanks.

And what you said about the BETA earlier...They still sound incredible. How can something without a guiding intelligence adapt like that so quickly?

[glorystargo]

That's a question that you, me, and every single tactician and scientist on this planet keeps asking over and over.

We know little about BETA, much less than we'd like to.

[majestic_keiki]

But at least they can be beaten...That last battle showed that with enough military force gathered, we can do something.

[glorystargo]

Yes. Unlike Wulgaru or Unknown Enemy, various militaries around the world scored victories against BETA, all the time even.

But that's a mixed blessing. It makes some people think they are a "lesser" threat. Mostly people who never had to deal with BETA directly.

[majestic_keiki]

There are far too many threats for anything to be a lesser one. It's a miracle the Earth is doing as well as it is.

[glorystargo]

We're still here. It's just proof of how resourceful and perseverant humanity can be.

[majestic_keiki]

It does. Even with constant additions to our list of enemies over the last month.
