Work Release Program

1. [Immediately post-Mt. Daisetzu]
[Those present for the mission in Hokkaido already have some idea, but for others it may be a nasty surprise when Getter Robo returns, and out steps - that guy who hijacked it and tried to trash Saotome Labs, and who's been cooling his heels in a cell since. Now unrestrained, and apparently not even under guard, and looking rather pleased with himself. Well, he did help save Denzel and a bunch of civilians, after all! For certain values of "saved", given the civilians' condition, but that's not his fault.

So this fine gentleman now has the run of Sakihama Base, apparently, and soon enough appears around Fort Alhambra and even the Star Rose. Granted, he doesn't seem to be up to anything obvious, and if any blood has been let in the process, none of it got on him...]

2. [Network broadcast]
[Shortly after Getter's return, a worn-looking and grumpy (but that's no change from normal) Professor Saotome makes a video broadcast.]

I'll make this short. Arrangements have been made for Hayato Jin to pilot Getter Robo. For the time being, he's forbidden to leave any UG base or my labs unescorted, and is under full surveillance within them. He knows not to give us any reason to limit him more than this. I trust all UG personnel will exercise similar restraint.

The Reptiloids are growing more daring. We do not have time to spare for squabbling among ourselves.

Well, isn't it the infamous terrorist Hayato Jin?

I was serious about that drink by the way. I don't know what old man Saotome was thinking to make you pilot the drill Getter... but your actions out there proved we can trust you.

[For now.]

[Seeing Hayato up close, rather than simply as a voice over the radio was clearly something Kei hadn't been prepared for. Especially not after he'd been helpful, shown basic human decency and had been a big part of making sure everyone got out alive and the genocide lab got properly shut down. So she was just standing there, looking uncertain.]

So... you're a terrorist eh?

[abugslife]

So this is the infamous terrorist. You received a very strang punishment for your misdeeds.

Well well, Mister Jin, good to meet you in person.

I appreciate your help back there... And I do apologize for having to deal with the Megaborgs back there.

[Ryoma is leaning on something, just to make a point of being nonchalant. He's not gonna let Hayato feel like the big scary bad man.]

You didn't go renegade or anything this time! You're making progress.

[The reply to Saotome comes in the shape of a mass of meal in the video connection's screen, stamped with Graveyard insignia]

I'M FORCED TO AGREE ON THAT LAST POINT.

HOWEVER, DOCTOR, I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PASS ON A MESSAGE. GRAVEYARD HAS SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT AND INFORMATION WITHIN UNITY FACILITIES. IF JIN GIVES CAUSE FOR EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SUSPICION OF ESPIONAGE OR TAMPERING, WE WILL CONSIDER IT AN ACT OF TREASON AND DIRECT AGGRESSION - ONE WHICH I HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREEDOM TO DEAL WITH AS I SEE FIT. I RECOMMEND YOU POINT THIS OUT TO HIM BEFORE ANY INCIDENT HAPPENS.
