[color=f26522]"We don't know everything about these kaiju yet. How do we know these security measures won't just fail miserably? There must be something more surefire we can do, right?"[/color]

Ryoma's eye twitched a little at that question, while it was obvious the team was the first, most important and likely the only effective defense against the Kaijus, he wouldn't want to put pressure on them just before an important assignment where the smallest mistake could cause thousands or millions in damages. Ryoma would have to word very carefully his response.

Or not. 

While a little harsh and severely underselling the value of the support team, Commander Shourichi managed in her own bombastic way to explain the importance of the team and their mission without making the situation while making the situation seem less dire than it is. A clicking sound made Ryoma look in Hazel direction, who had probably noticed that he was one of the few who could understand her signs. She seemed to have the same opinion as him in that they are the first line of defense, though she emphasized the security measures were more about keeping the people in the fortress and the surrounding areas safe and prevent any unwanted presences entering the base and causing chaos, and unlike a similar incident in the past an incident like that may not end up with a pilot for the Promethion. That day was definitely one of the most stressful ones in his life, and it could be definitely called a miracle that his decision of giving the offer to pilot the Promethion to Hazel paid off, since he was quite berated for it at first by the high ranking scientists of the fortress that knew and had many sleepless nights thinking he was going to lose his position.

[color=lightgreen]"Ahem, just like the Commander and Hazel over here said, the Promethion is the first line of defense against the Kaiju with all the increased security features being in place to provide security to the pilots, scientists, mechanics, miscellaneous staff, critical equipment like spare parts, and to make sure the Base is in top condition to provide support to you in case the need arises. So while you are technically our beast of burden, my job and the rest of the staff is to ensure you can give your all"[/color] Ryoma said to Autumn as he pushed his glasses again.
