Bad ideas from good sources

[herodrawing]

[Psychologists on location? Good! Izuru visited a counselor a day or two ago, just once, to see how it's like. What results did the visit bring?]

[It's early morning and someone is knocking to your door. It's the Team Rabbits leader, ready to barge into the room - if you let him.]

Hey! I know it's sudden, but would you like to participate in a team-building exercise?

It will be fun, I promise!

[That catches Kaname off-guard.]

A team-building exercise?

[A beat.]

Are you sure you have the right room? Ken's right down the hall.

[herodrawing]

Ah, miss Chidori?! I thought this was the other room, that... yes, Ken, that's who I meant.

But I mean, you may still come with us after all! You're part of the team too!

[Part of the team? Since when?]

[chidori]

What are you talking about? Part of the team?

[herodrawing]

W... well. You are around the bases all the time, right? So it'd be sad if you had to spend all that time alone, excluded from activities that other people are doing.

Except for the, umm, violent, "mission time, fight the bad guys" kind.

[chidori]

Okay...

[Kaname puts her hands on her hips.]

So what is this team-building exercise about?

[herodrawing]

Rescuing our friends from burning remains of their cockpits!

[chidori]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[herodrawing]

Aahh! I didn't mean it like that!

I mean... it is just a training, a simulated experience! It's not really real!

[chidori]

What are you talking about? Like a computer game?

[herodrawing]

Less like computer simulated, and more like... imagination simulated?

But the proper evacuation procedures and such will be done for real, it's just the danger that is not there.

[chidori]

Imagination simulated?

[Kaname scratches the side of her head.]

I'm not really sure. I mean, I don't really know what to do in case of emergency anyway.

[herodrawing]

Yeah. I mean it'd be pretty much pretending. We'd pretend it's an emergency but in actuality the unit would just stand safe in the hangar. Or something like that.

2/2

[herodrawing]

A... anyway! That just means the rehearse would be good for you, miss Chidori! You never know when you'd need to rescue a pilot, and because of this you'll know what to do.

[Just how often do normal civilians have to rescue mecha pilots?]
