>It looks almost identical to Ruukoto's, except possibly made out of different materials. The core also is glowing a reddish orange, as opposed to Ruukoto's brilliant electric blue.

>"Alright then." says Nitori, before walking over to Mimi-chan.
>"We don't need this anymore." Utsuho adds as she pushes Ruukoto's core back into her body.
>Nitori places the core into the open hatch on Mimi-chan. Within seconds, the missile suddenly levitates above the ground to about chest height.

>"THIS CORE IS NOT AS EFFICIENT, BUT IT WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR MIMI-CHAN TO PERFORM HER TASK. PLEASE CLOSE MIMI-CHAN'S HATCH. MIMI-CHAN DOES NOT WISH TO HAVE AN EXPOSED CORE FOR LONGER THAN NECESSARY..."
>"Oh, yeah, right." Nitori quickly closes the hatch on the missile.

MIMI-CHAN KNOWS THAT THE LOGICAL ANSWER IS THAT MIMI-CHAN WOULD JUST CEASE TO BE, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MIMI-CHAN DID NOT FIND THAT ANSWER SUFFICENT... SHE COULD NOT FIND THAT ANSWER SUFFICENT... SO SHE CALCULATED... BUT SHE COULD NOT ARRIVE AT A CONCRETE ANSWER... THEN SHE DECIDED THAT IT WAS BOTH ILLOGICAL AND DEFECTIVE OF HER TO THINK THAT WAY, SO MIMI-CHAN DISMISSED IT, AND BURIED IT DEEP WITHIN HER FILE SYSTEM... BUT AFTER THE COMPUTATIONS OF RUUKOTO'S BEHAVIOR, THE UNRESOLVED CALCULATIONS RESURFACED... "
