Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch:
The Hangar
As Shanghai spit shined another part of the Nightmare, Alice sat down, looking up at the Nightmare. How was it that Forte was the one, of all the pilots that Ares had encountered? Hourai had taken up to the task of repairing the hakkero in the chest as Alice stared at the machine, thinking over the events that had recently transpired. Alice stood up when Marisa and Nazrin had entered the hangar.
"Marisa, how many times have I told you to not use the Masterspark cannon?!? The hakkero can't handle the energy from the core!"
"Hey, at least I got back alive." While the girls argued on the hangar floor, Forte walked up the cockpit. The only part of the Garunda was the cockpit and a part of the sensors.
Sitting down into the cockpit, he ran his hand over the controls. "Looks like we're in this for the long run, buddy. I know you can hold up a little longer." Forte got out of the machine when he spotted an oddly familiar machine nearby. He jumped down and walked towards the it, followed by Marisa and Alice, who had become concerned as to why Forte was heading to another machine.
The Sleek figure of the Nightmare was an entrancing sight. This was indeed the very machine that shot down Forte long ago, and not too long ago as well. Forte peered at the name of the machine: EFX-F Ophelia.

The Hangar
Kikuri was already in front of the Ophelia, peering at its figure and checking that it was kept in pristine, mint condition. Then, she noticed Forte looking at it from the side. "Ain't she a beaut'?" Kikuri said. "Lorelei really took a liking to Remmy's NTR Pixie, or something. We didn't even have to make many adjustments! I dunno, it's like puttin' a key you don't know in a keyhole you don't know and watching it work!" Kikuri laughed, not noticing Rem walking into the hangar as well. Rem had seen Forte look at the Ophelia, but he made no notice of him. He approached his Nightmare and asked Kikuri a question. "Cap'n, have you taken the measurements?"
"Aye aye, Remmy!" she said. "They'll be forwarded to you later. We'll still need to tackle some other issues before we get it going."
"That's good," Rem said. He then turned to see Forte right there. "Oh. It's you. What do you want?"

"Me? I'm just admiring the craftmanship of this machine. It is quite a sight to behold." Forte turned to Rem. "I guess that's terran machinery for ya. See you in space."
He turned and left for the Twilight Moon and approached Alice and Marisa. "Alright, is the Nightmare ready?"
"Mostly. We just need to fix the hakkero." Alice said.
"Good enough. I'm gonna take it for a spin, get used to the feel of it, now that it's mostly ready." Forte walked to the cockpit of the nightmare followed by Marisa.
"I'll tag along. It won't run without me anyways."
The Twilight Moon entered the catapult.
"Nightmare: Twilight Moon. Launch!"
Hello Purvis:
Bar and Grill
Kisume's face sours considerably at Sariel's reply. "Well aren't you just a fresh little breeze, then?" she says, leaning back into her seat. "Sorry for presuming I was worthy to ask."
Hangar
Shizuha wanders into the hangar, looking around furtively. Having roamed the halls and checked the park briefly, she had yet to find any sign of Suwako. Hoping against hope, she looks and checks around the Noble White. Seeing no sign of the frog goddess, she sighs. It was a long shot, in any event.
She turns to leave, then pauses. A small smile comes to her lips as she notices Alice. She crosses the hangar and approaches the puppeteer, still grinning. "Excuse me," she calls, "may I have a moment of your time?"
The Park
Rumia stands there, nodding idly after Rem, and she contemplates her new treasure.
The Hallways
Sir Kay's face grows stormy, but he nods toward Eirin. "Very well, then. I shall seek out your field marshal and introduce myself." And with that, he makes to walk past Eirin and Margaret and carry on toward the intersection of halls they had previously rounded.

As Nazrin ran off to mission control to guide Forte and Marisa, Alice turned to Shizuha. "Not at all, what do you need?"
