Cal rolls his way over to Daphnis and begins his check. Daphnis - as always - seems to resist being touched by anybody, but she begrudgingly lets him complete his checkup without resistance. She makes a face as Tirapon enters the lab, not doing anything to hide her own distaste. In this case, Phoebe can sympathize. Having someone in your head is [i]weird.[/i] Tirapon is quiet and unobtrusive, but even so, Phoebe would rather keep her thoughts to herself.

[color=D2B48C]"All done,"[/color] Cal announces. [color=D2B48C]"No injuries present. She's good to go."[/color]

Upon being granted their freedom, the remaining three titans turn to each other. 

[color=7F4937]"I'll probably stay here,"[/color] Atlas says quietly, never one to draw attention to himself. [color=DBFF00]"Me too,"[/color] Calypso says. 

Phoebe frowns. She knows there's no reason to go along, and that she'd most likely be a nuisance, but... this is her chance to see a kaiju up close! Maybe there's something to be gained. Maybe, if she studies it hard enough, she'll learn what's been holding her back from a full transformation during practice. There's got to be something she's missing. And truthfully, she wants to see Talos in action. She can only attribute it to the kaiju blood in her, making her eager for a fight, even if she's only watching. 

[color=FA3EFF]"I'll come,"[/color] she says, praying that Dr. Park's offer was genuine, and ignoring Daphnis's scowl. [color=FA3EFF]"I want to, um, study the kaiju's attack patterns."[/color]

[color=D2B48C]"I'll accompany,"[/color] Cal suggests, seeing the sour look on Daphnis's face and wanting to preserve the peace inside the Achilles. Even if Phoebe's intentions are good, anything can set her off. This way, he can keep an eye on her. [color=D2B48C]"Just in case you need any care last-minute."[/color]

Anvi rolls through the diagnostic tests easily, keeping the nervous energy out the best she can. Thankfully, now she can roll her eyes at Dr. McCulloch's speech. She couldn't care less about the secretary's choices for this battle, nor for the weird CETM politics Dr. McCulloch seems to be embroiled in. She's seen the power of the titan kids, and she's seen Hyper Man X. As far as she's concerned, the aliens aren't going to care if they're killed by a monster, a mech, or an alien. Whatever gets the job done.

Still. Hearing that little speech gives Anvi some newfound courage. She settles Talos right above the water and accelerates forward, leaving a satisfying wake behind her as she advances to The Gate. There's no sign of the kaiju yet, but the sensors on her screen are going crazy, giving her red signals that do nothing to calm her nerves. She braces for impact, waiting till she's almost over the kaiju to dive into the ocean.

That is, if it doesn't surface first.
