[An announcement is playing. It shows Alex alone trying to look in control.]
Hi everyone
I've been staying here for the last week following the attack on Brussels and I've met several of you already and I imagine the rest of you have at least heard about the battle, but I'd better introduce myself anyway. My name is Alexandra de Witt and at the battle it turned out that I have the ability to call on the power of the Sumerian god Enki to fight monsters sent by the king of the gods Enlil...I don't think that will ever stop sounding insane. Regardless, I can summon the Sumerian god Enki as essentially a giant robot and while I think there won't be any more monsters, I still can't be sure.
I've spent the last week trying to figure out what to do about that and I have come to a decision. I will stay with you and help protect the world against alien invaders and rampaging monsters. I never thought about becoming a soldier before, but I have a powerful weapon in my hands that I can't hand over to somebody else and I can't just turn away and let others fight in that situation. So I'm officially introducing myself.
...And I'm probably also going to need to ask for your help in learning how to properly fight. I can pilot, or whatever you want to call it, Enki just fine, but I have no training in tactics or other parts of how to handle myself on the battle field.

[Later that day Alex can be found sitting slumped against the wall a short distance down the corridor from the gym to the showers. She's wearing what looks like very new training clothes that appear to be drenched in sweat.]
...Maybe I overdid it.

But at least I've sorted things out enough to come to a decision.

What you're doing now - not too long ago, that was me in your place, right there.

You have an incredible one of a kind power in your hands, and you decided to use it to help humanity.
That's a decision worth praising.

More seriously, I hope everything works out properly.

[Hard to say if Ren is being genuine or joking.]
Did you find anyone to teach you tactics and proper battlefield behaviour yet?

[Tarisa pulls Alex to her feet by her arms and starts shaking them.]
Now get your feet moving.
[After a moment Tarisa begins talking.]
I know you probably think I'm crazy but if we'd just let you sit there in a ball like that you're whole body would have seized up and you wouldn't be able to move at all. I've been meaning to catch up with you since your announcement to say thanks. We wouldn't have judged you if you'd gone back but with everything going on we welcome all the help we can get.

I was just resting for a bit, I was gonna make it to the shower just fine.
And, yes, it seems like the world really needs everybody. I just need to learn how first.

There are several Unity Group members who have a lot of experience with drills and military tactics and such, mostly from the receivers' end. Majestic Princes, Argos Flight... maybe you could ask some of them?
Admittedly I have yet to practice along their side.

I must warn you though, the Argos Flight may have you wear one of those Eishi pilot suits.

... I will not make you wear it, by the way. Just so we're clear.
