Bang bang bang! Just like that, your battle is lost.

Fortunately it was only a mock battle with fellow students and practice units. Unfortunately the loss was 100% your fault. Bad teamwork and people not sticking together means the other team picked you out one by one, and now three of your units are standing in the hangar, covered in paint rounds. What say you about this decisive defeat?

"Another semester where your grades are the worst."

Time for the post-practice debriefing, and instructor Suzukaze looks angry. She wastes no time chewing you out.

"Your individual performances are fine, but your teamwork is terrible. You screw up constantly, you trip over each other's feet and get in each other's ways. No other team has this kind of a problem, I just don't get it."

"What do you have to say for yourselves?"

I can't imagine they'd want us to stay here forever, no.

[herodrawing]

Hey! I didn't actually think about it that way!

[What genius realization is Izuru up to?]

[gold_four]

Honestly, they'd be doing us a favour by letting us stay longer. I've heard the Wulgaru are advancing again.

[majestic_keiki]

And that's why they probably won't want to keep us here forever.

[herodrawing]

But even if Wulgaru come here, don't you think they'd make some other teams fight first and not us?

We're dead last after all.

[majestic_keiki]

They're going to need everyone for the war, not just the best. The Wulgaru aren't going to politely send champions and have a fair fight with the best we have.

gah, stop ninjaing my tag!

[cloningblues]

Or maybe they'll think we're expendable because we're so hopeless.

Wulgaru... More border colonies are going to get destroyed again.

[gold_four]

Undina, Nora... there's a lot of colonies out there that are risk these days. Think they look like actual aliens?

Re: gah, stop ninjaing my tag!

[majestic_keiki]

You mean grey and with big, black eyes? I doubt it.

[herodrawing]

You mean with tentacles, slime and everything?

Man, that's nasty!

[A response simultaneous with Kei's.]

[cloningblues]

How would a slimy tentacle thing pilot a robot?

A lot of aliens attack Earth, but we never see how they look like, just their machines. It's like they're doing this on purpose.

[gold_four]

Maybe someone threw radioactive sludge on Tamaki's food?

Though yeah, the only aliens we tend to directly see are like, the really big ones. The ones too big for robots...

Or are they?
