[So Shu's not the only new face at Fort Alhambra now. There's two more machines that came back in addition to the Granzon... and these two also start with the letter G! They're not as OP though... just a gray Gespenst that somehow's gotten in on the Halloween Plan refits and a red Gesterben that doesn't seem related to the other ones the team fought earlier in the operation.]

Never thought Mission Devil would lead to us working with the Unity Group, but then again stranger things have happened. This is Second Lieutenant Albhard Bailaran of the ESUN's spec ops group Team Jelba. My associates here are Second Lieutenant Selena Recital and her assistant robot, Elma.

A pleasure to work with you all, and thanks for showing up when you did. Bought us a little more time before Shu arrived, time we might've not gotten otherwise.

Right. We were investigating to confirm whether or not Shu Shirakawa had been killed or not, on account of no trace of the machine being found in the wake of its destruction at the hands of the Steel Dragons. One way or another, we wound up being summoned to that other world -La Gias-, and it wasn't long before we met with some of your own people and then Shu himself.
According to the professor, he was resurrected by a man named Luozorl, though his memory is full of holes and there are also things he doesn't feel inspired to share. In spite of that, his assistance in the battle and the cooperation he's given us have been taking into consideration by our superiors, and it's been decided he will remain under observation for the foreseeable future, with Lieutenant Recital and myself serving as his handlers.
Any suspicious behavior observed by Professor Shirakawa should be made known to us... but please refrain from antagonizing him. I know some of you have prior history with Shu and some of you fought as members of the Steel Dragons, but the circumstances have changed.
Thank you for your cooperation.
(Albhard, Elma, and Selena can be tagged now or after this broadcast when they're milling around one place or another.)

What about you, another Gespenst pilot?

It's pretty satisfying to see a machine line you piloted go so far.

THAT'S NOT THE ONLY REASON YOU SMILE LIKE AN IDIOT
And you wouldn't believe how giddy Albhard got when he wound up getting early access to one of the Halloween Plan models. About the only thing that could've put a bigger smile on his face would've been a Grungust... but those things are rarer than pieces of the True Cross.

WHY CAN'T A MAN ENJOY A NICE VIEW
What about you? I imagine you must be pretty skilled to be entrusted with a machine that could run a number on all of our guys like that.
From:
What Selena's saying here is she's number 13
Still, between seniority and the skill of other members, I'm pretty low in Team Jelba's heirarchy. A dozen guys above me, Albhard the most immediate one. Hence why we got sent to investigate the Granzon when Symphonia took most everyone else on another assignment.
