150. Analyze and Replicate

Sova, since I've told you everything about my research, can you tell us a little bit about Fenriru's?

Though I doubt she can beat me with her research.

Right, Lieutenant Fenriru comes across either as a ''mom'' or an explosion maniac.

But her idea is very bold this time. If it comes to fruition, I think it will prove to be highly valuable.

Oh? Tell me so that I can laugh at it.

The team led by Fenriru is working on the analysis and replication of the Relic component.

Analysis and replication?

Awakener, once we find all the Relic components, we can do more than simply rescue your sister.

It will be a powerful weapon... to fight against the Ancient One and Rasparta... one for each!

If we can figure out the technology behind the Relic components, we'll be able to bridge the technological gap between humans and others.

I didn't expect Fenriru to be doing such awesome things.

Fenriru has always been thinking about how to defeat the Ancient One. She isn't all talk.

...

Lieutenant Fenriru.

Oh, you're back, Sova!

Time to get on with your analysis.

Okay.

By the way, do you know about Dr. Aiken's secret research?

Are you curious about it, Lieutenant Fenriru?

She has made such a fuss about it, so I'm a little curious.

Don't worry. Dr. Aiken's research is really valuable, but I think your idea is even better.

Mmmph! You are going to make me cry with such touching words!

Speaking of which, the materials for your promotion have been submitted to Niz, right?

Yes.

Don't worry.

Haha, I'm not worried...

I told the newbie about our research.

...

Oh, right...

She seems a little regretful after learning it, and should be reflecting on her actions right now.

That'll be great if it's true.

About what I said to the newbie, was I being too harsh?

Mori? How's it going with Aiken and Fenriru's promotion?

They have both uploaded their research plans and latest progress.

Aiken is working on... the communication device with the Ancient One... Very interesting.

Fenriru's research is about... mm...

What do you think about Fenriru's research?

Very forward-looking and very bold.

Even Aiken can't compete with her in that sense.

But isn't it a little whimsical?

I'm afraid the crisis we now face has forced us to make such a decision.

What do you mean then?

Okay, I decide to choose...
