Actia has dressed herself with the precision of a fox who has for years nursed a secret fashion scrapbook in preparation for this moment. Black-blue armour offset with glowing neon blue lights at each joint, sculpted and light around the torso while all weight is pushed towards the extremities of hands and feet. It gives her an eerie, slender vibe, centered around the adapted golden motorcycle helmet visor. A sleeveless grey-brown leather jacket further draws attention to the sleek shape of her body.

Cyanis has gone in the opposite direction - she has chosen for herself a battlemech. She sits cross-legged in a glowing blue energy bubble that forms the mech's entire torso, slouched backwards with a gaming console in her hands. Attached to the exterior of the piloting bubble are the mech's arms and legs, large industrial things heavy with weaponry, thrusters and utility devices. It's only a little taller than Actia's design, but far larger and heavier - white paint, slashed through with cyan hazard stripes.

Opalis has chosen something stranger - a glowing cloud of blue-pink energy, somewhere between liquid, gas and solid. She wraps it around her neck and muzzle like a scarf, and then when she moves it lingers in the air for a second before elastically snapping back with a shock of plasmatic energy. Shield, sword, propulsion, scarf and cloak all in one cosmic bundle - and it goes very nicely with her scales.

Diaofei has reluctantly conceded to the necessity of a spacesuit and has accepted the default model, but she has changed so that her monk robes are now on the outside of the suit. It feels a little like a parable about grasping to nongrasping.

Berserker - well, she's still a Berserker at the end of the day. She has collected all of the unused space dresses and built a mobile battle platform out of them. It's a katamari ball of carbon nanofiber fabric, laser swords, lace and space-to-space missiles and it's genuinely kind of intimidating.

But of course, the star of the space dress transformation sequence is and always was going to be the one, the only, the idol of the entire world...
