 Clearing Backstory: Memory adds a Haro to our list of rewards. This time, we’ll be skipping episode 3 and heading into 4 – Beater Services: Business Journal  By the way, you can still select the protagonist’s birth date. I’m keeping it as the default one now.  Multidimensional Century 10/22/0001. All the shock of the Federation coup has left even us tired. After the misunderstanding that led us to fight the other side of ZEUTH, we learned the shocking truth about Eureka! Tired as we were from all these messes, we decided to try to rest at the Tresor Institute, but I can't shake the feeling that something's going to happen here too. It's nice to have more material for my Memory Notebook, but what's going to happen to our world...? Oh well, no point in worrying about it! -- Acting President, Mel Beater  Location: Southern South Ameria – Tresor Institute, Lunch Room  When Kei asks, Renton says the local scientists and technicians in charge of the Nirvash’s modifications are currently working on designing the retrofit plans. Doctor Bear is helping out, and work is proceeding at a feverish pace but, even so, the job will take at least two weeks. We’ll be staying here until then, making use of that time to repair all the damage we suffered when fighting the Zaft-ZEUTH. On the subject of the mission Archangel and Freedom, Löwen says there hasn’t been any information regarding them – with the turmoil of the recent Federation coup, neither they nor Zaft have the wiggle-room to track them down. Gainer has a lot of questions for them that he hopes to get the chance to ask and Daisuke says there's little else to do but trust that their iron will, strong enough to take on the whole world, will carry them through. With that in mind, Jiron figures the best we can do while waiting is keep ourselves well fed and Apollo concedes that, while the institute’s director talks way too much, the place’s food is pretty dang good. So much so that Rand figures they’re going overboard with how much they’re eating – Roger figures they’ve no qualms about being seen as freeloaders.  Tsugumi herself is enjoying the food a whole lot and quickly notices that Reika’s only having some measly salad today. She couldn’t be dieting, could she? Reika’s always so pretty! Maybe but Reika confesses that when she stepped on the scale this morning, she realized she’d taken in 900g. Tsugumi doesn’t subscribe to that dread but Reika says watching your physical shape is also part of one’s training – if the balance between mind and body is askew, it could mess up a combination and be potentially deadly. Silvia comes in as Tsugumi starts getting scared, noticing Reika’s piddly meal. It’s not good for your health to reduce the food intake so suddenly, she warns. Reika grumbles that she knows that but despite her deep frown, Silvia has no qualms in eating as much as she wants. “…I see… a princess who overate and, soon, grew to be quite stout. And such a sad end, being left behind by her beloved brother...” Rena prophesizes. Silvia starts freaking out but Maai and Gidget are there to remind her that there’s still time for them to win this battle. Indeed, Mimsy says that a good bunch of ZEUTH’s girls has enjoyed the local food too much and put on weight. Mel and Michiru are determined to face whatever hardships needed to get back in shape. Tonya’s calling all (female) hands on deck to execute a winning diet plan and Reika vows to use every ounce of her strength. “Diet Team! Hip, hip, hooray!!” Sara yells and Silvia eagerly answers with a loud “HOORAY!!”  Some time later, things are already going south: Reika is trying (and failing) to empty her mind as to feel no hunger, Silvia is hallucinating about pizza, friend chicken and whatnot, while Tsugumi is daydreaming about swimming in an ocean of chocolate and pudding. Hikaru is dreaming about fresh cheese on toast, Michiru wonders if it’s alright to eat some konnyaku since its low on calories, Sara wants some more of the tasty sukiyaki she ate in Yapan, Pala is reminding herself that this is to get an even sexier body than Enil’s, while Jamie wonders if S-1 girls go on diet too. Tonya tells herself that she can’t be the first one to quit since this was her idea, Maai and Riea don’t want to cave before the other, Mimsy wants to look her best for her upcoming 18th birthday and, finally, Gidget knows any added weight will be VERY evident when next to the very slender Eureka. Daisuke marvels that the women are all dieting en masse, but Talho reminds him that not all the women are on this kick. Indeed, Adette says only these undisciplined kids need to do stuff like that and the Freeden’s Sara agrees: they’re like this because they couldn’t control themselves. Hilda figures the more mature women could cut the girls some slack and, when Chil asks, explains what dieting means. Maeter thinks the whole thing sound stupid as not eating would simply leave you hungry. Ana chides her, saying older girls place a lot more value on their figure. On the flip side, growing children like them should eat diligently! Mischa endorses her advice and Chil is all over it, wanting to get an afternoon snack. Elchi and Rag, meanwhile, are enjoying some nice cookies and shaking their heads at the suffering girls. They’ll probably stop their fasting once they’re hungry enough and Shaia counts herself lucky that she’s “retired” from being a woman. No need to worry about eating like that. On that subject, Papty has already noticed Talho’s pregnancy and suggests she go get something, too.  Tifa isn’t taking part of the diet, mind. In fact, Dorothy figures she could stand to eat MORE, skinny like she is. Tifa is aware but she just can’t work up the appetite to do so, despite her wish to gain some weight. Rena suggests she not tell the Diet Team that, lest she get those girls frothing at the mouth. When Dorothy asks, Rena flashes her fangs and say she gets her nourishment for “other sources”. As for Eureka, she never gains weight regardless of how much she eats so Rena suggests they go have tea with the non-dieting folks. There’s plenty of stuff left to eat, considering the situation.  Pierre himself doesn’t see the big deal with the little weight gain the girls had; hell, he even fancies a slightly plumper figure on his ladyfriends. Sirius chalks it all up to the pursuit of perfect beauty and Kei says Pierre’s facing this with a guy's mindset - young girls, on the flip side, always want to look good. Roybea figures, by this point, an exercise in caching the eyes of their respective men has morphed into a struggle to not get looked down by other members of the Diet Team. Whosoever fails the test will have to bear the stigma of it all. This has been going on for only a day and Mel is the first one to ask for food. Ana reminds that she's got to care for her tummy since her outfit bares it for the world to see. Mel counters with the saying that most women lose weight from their breasts first; Tsugumi, Michiru and Pala have some leeway there, but if she follows that trajectory she'll end up in negative cup sizes. Hayato and Pierre are very concerned with the possibility of a massive reduction in ZEUTH’s “reserves” – they’ve got to do something! That's the point when Renton stumbles in with some actual bad news: Tresor’s food supplies are rotting at an alarming rate and we’ve no way of replenishing them!  Over by Atlandia, Futaba has been observing the wingless’ way of life and he’s rather disgusted: we use our sacred mouths to EAT things! Shilha tells him that such is the cursed fate of their kind, forced for the entirety of their lives to rend and devour the lives of birds, fishes and beasts and verdure. Futaba adds that the mouth is supposed to be for savoring the spirit in the air, for singing in the voices of the world. Shilha then notices something: it looks like the wingless are coming under attack by the demons…  Sometime later, back in Tresor, Holland’s reporting what Morita discovered: a plague of nanomachines has infiltrated the institute’s food stores and rotted them all. Even plastic-bagged and hermetically-sealed food wasn't spared. Furthermore, there have been reports of hostile forces attacking this region meaning we’re completely cut off. To say nothing of the fact that any food we brought here would just be destroyed by the nanomachines. This has been going on for the last five days and Roger reports that many of our folks are incapacitated with hunger. Tex grimly notes that while man does not live by bread alone, he sure as hell doesn't live without it either. Elchi wonders how this happened and Holland says this is an obvious attack against us. Rand wonders if they’ll just wait for us to starve to death but Jamil figures whoever it is will simply wait for us to get weaker before attacking, which shouldn’t be long.  Garrod yells out that Apollo’s eating something and Jiron demands he share it. It’s not food, mind – Apollo’s just chewing on a pebble to take his mind off the current situation. Garrod’s as hungry as the next guy but not enough to eat rocks. Regardless, Benkei’s sure we can find food once we leave the lab and wants to go right now, but Ryouma speaks against it: we’d carry the nanomachines with us and wherever we went would suffer the same effects. This is why Jamil and the others haven’t left either. Sirius figures, then, that we won’t be able to solve this state of affairs unless we defeat the foe responsible for it. Apollo, for one, would like them to attack already so we can give ‘em what they deserve. “Could you do that in your current state?” asks the suddenly appearing Fudou. Chil and Rag ask if he’s brought any food – any food at all – but nope. Apollo demands Fudou say what he’s here for, then, and warns that he’ll kick his rear end if it’s something stupid. Fudou smirks at how agitated hunger has made him – a child, indeed. Still, the enemy he’s to fight isn’t Fudou but someone else. Just then Mel runs in, yelling that the Hundred Demons are attacking! Looks like they’re the ones behind this and Jiron’s hungry for vengeance.  Special Disk Mission 4-1 – Merge to Eat  Everyone is deploying as event units. Do note that you have loads of PP and cash to spend and you ABSOLUTELY want to do so lest you have one hell of a hard time in this mission. Go into the squad menu before deploying your guys and press triangle over each unit to go to its status menu; pressing square over a pilot or mech screen opens their respective upgrade menus. Make sure you equip A-Adaptors on Roger and Jiron.  Cotsett is very woozy as he reports the incoming units – Elchi yells at him to speak up but, in truth, she has it just as bad as he does. A large posse of demons attack, their timing making it pretty obvious to Jamil that the attack on our food reserves is their doing. Holland wants to kick their asses but good and show how worthless their plan was but Rand’s growling stomach begs to differ. Garrod is feeling weak as all hell and Kei sees that you really can’t fight on an empty stomach. Sirius is appalled that such a plan has left us in this sorry state but refuses to allow the likes of hunger to defeat him. Sirius keeping a stiff upper lip is impressive but, again, our growling stomachs aren’t as focused. Seems like the demons’ strategy has been very successful so Jiron tells everyone to just bring out whatever strength they have left – they haven’t any, as Chil yells. Amidst Apollo’s cries of “I’M HUUUUUNGRYYYYYYYYYY!!”, we begin our offensive.  Kill everything, don’t lose anyone. This is easier said than done, however, because…  Everyone’s stats are halved, morale is at 50 and you can’t use spirit commands! This is why you really should upgrade your guys as, if not, you’re very likely to lose someone to the oncoming onslaught of Mecha Dokugankis, Tekkoukis and Gyukenki. If the other SPD missions were pretty easy, this one can give you a legit game over. Hang back, focusing on the fighter jets for as long as you can because you’re in no condition to deal with the bigger foes – lead with the dodgier units because you’ll want the AI to prioritize them over the Supers, who’ll quickly die when focus fired.  Even with good upgrades and the Haro, Gainer is still getting a 12% chance to hit. Those are huge numbers for him.      This is also pathetic damage. Wanna bet how well we’d do against those Prevail-ing big demons?   It takes Rand, Kei, Jiron and Jamil to kill everything in this squad.  Down as many as you can, lest these jets go after the Panther squad. In hindsight, I should’ve just stuck them inside a ship because they’re no more than a liability.        Yo, this is bullshit! Holland and Matthew kill the survivors.  It’s pretty clear to Renton that we’re not winning like this. Ryouma tells the kid to pull himself together but is interrupted, again, by his growling stomach. Gura then starts broadcasting over the area, laughing at the Getter’s pathetic situation. Indeed, he developed the food destroying nanomachines and Jiron tells him to show himself and face the music. Not gonna happen, as his Mecha Fortress Demon also serves as the control unit for the nanomachines. Taking it down means we’d be able to stop losing our food… but can we do that when we cannot even find him? Gura’s equipped his ship with a flawless stealth system which renders it undetectable by any means. Rand wants to just carpet bomb the entire area but our pilots haven’t the energy to run amuck through the battleground – to say nothing of the fact that it’d quickly drain our energy and ammo. As Gura laughs at us to languish in hunger, Fudou is just watching it all somberly. Of course it wouldn’t end this quickly. No, we have to last until turn 3!  So let’s speed this up some because you’ve seen all there is to it. Always stay on the little jets, avoid the big guys like the plague, hide the Panther squad and babysit all your units because even your reals will be staring down a 70-90% chance to be hit.   Case in point. Holland at least has his Lift Technique to pop double image but Garrod made it through this with only 300 HP (and I got extremely lucky with the RNG). Prevail just doesn’t amount to much when your stats are poo poo. This mission was the closest I’ve gotten to a game over in a VERY long time.  Silvia’s starting to feel faint from all the hunger and Pala’s now wishing she had stuffed herself full instead of going on that diet. Sara doesn’t want to die this famished. Jamil fears we must retreat and reorganize but Olson counters that if we don’t end the enemy’s strategy right here, we’ll just starve to death. Still, we can’t go on fighting like this.  : You feel hungry because you want to eat. : Huh…? : But that’s obvious! What are ya getting at? : An empty stomach and hunger are two different things. : Ah…? : When you understand the emptiness within… that is when your true strength will manifest! : What is he rambling about…? : Hell if I know! I’m too hungry to even think straight! : “Empty stomach and hunger”…“Empty stomach and hunger”…: The strength of an empty stomach… I got it! Since time immemorial, people have fasted in order to expand their minds and sharpen their senses…!: Sharpen their senses… and food…? Aah, the sense of smell! : Apollo, listen! Smell around this area! : Smell…?: Indeed. These demons are still living creatures, so they would require nutrition…! Ergo, their battleship should be stocked with food! : Alright…!: Silvia, we must also concentrate and expand Apollo’s abilities! : Please wait! We… : Will take care of that! : OK!  : Those three have been fasting for longer than Apollo and Sirius…  : And, thus… their power is brought to bear. : Here we go, Reika, Tsugumi! : Right!: Go, Apollo! : *sniff, sniff*… *sniff, sniff, sniff* : I found ‘im! : THERE!! : Attack, Silvia!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCSCVkIiHRc “Here goes!” “We…are…HANGRYYYYY!!”   : I-Impossible! How did they see through my stealth systems?! : Such is the power of humans… or, rather, the power of a primordial instinct of all life forms…! The power of hunger! : Well done, Aquarion! : Now we just need to take him out and everything’ll be just peachy!: Rrrgh! You will not prevail against my Mecha Fortress Demon! What can you possibly do in your starved state?! : He’s got that right… : But we’ll get to eat again if we win here!: Then I shall tell you something else. : Hunger is the greatest spice of all! : Hunger is… : The greatest spice… : Wise words. : Come on, people! The best food of our lives is waiting for us! We just gotta wrap this up! : What vigor is this?! : This is our wild instinct!! : RAAAAARGH! I’m gonna eat everything! EEEEEAAAAAAAT!! : Y’all ain’t gonna like us when we’re hangry! Come’ere!!And now we run amuck! DIE!!    : Yo, demons! Ever hear that there are seven gods in every grain of rice? : And you went and trashed a bajillion grains!: Which means you’ve got a bajillion gods-worth of pain coming right now! When ya get to Hell, y’all have loads of time to see how crappy it is to waste food!!        : Hold on, Tifa! I’m ending these mooks quick-like and then I’ll bring you a plate full of food! : Heh… kinda sounded like a good ol’ husband there!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYgJ07UrpY4 Garrod has a special TRI with Enil and Pala, same as Witz/Roybea, Jamil/Lancerow  : How dare you torment Sara so! She’s turning all skin and bones because of you!  : I’ll destroy you in the name of her beautiful physique! That’s what you deserve!    : Don’t you demons know how much girls love sweets and fine food? : If you’re here to take that away, then you’ll find Kei Katsuragi raining some righteous fury over your heads!: You know how much your shenanigans cost the Gekko’s store?! And Talho took it all out on me! : Get ready! This attack is for all our rotten chicken and pizzas!!    : We may be hostile to each other but going so far as to weaponize hunger is revolting in the extreme.: I do not enjoy exercising violence…  : But if you’ll impinge upon something as personal as one’s meal, then you deserve suitable punishment!   : RAAAAAAARGH!! I’M GONNA EAT! EVERYTHING!!: I’ll eat a lizard or a snake or Nattō! I’ll even eat a demon!! : C-calm down, Jiron! You’ll get a horn stuck in your throat if you do that!    : It was only after coming to Earth that I first laid eyes upon the splendor of nature’s bounty! : And here you are, rotting it all away! I’ll destroy you down to the atom!!        : You would leave not only us to starve but the innocents in the Tresor Institute and nearby areas, too…?!: Come, Hundred Demons! You’ll learn to fear this primal fury of humans!  : Taking away all our food… how dare you! You’re despicable!: We fight for our food! Mess with it and we’ll make you rue the day!: Food is the essence of life! Hail, food!! : Si-Silvia… : Hey, why not? They ain’t wrong, ya know. : Here we come, demons! I’m bringing the hammer down on you for wasting all that food!!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUSyq1OuQcE Also, here’s a video of the Iron Gear jumping onto a fighter jet. Good thing this is an anime.  : This is the end of your cowardly tactics, Hundred Demons! : You’ve pushed us too far and now we’ve snapped. : Go, Ryou! Make them pay for all the food they ruined!!        Gura can’t believe we turned this around after being cornered like that and runs off in a huff. His defeat means we’re free to eat again and, right on time, Fudou has a suitable reward: snapping his fingers, he summons a DEAVA carrier filled with food. Tsugumi and Reika are overcome with joy and Silvia thanks the commander profusely.  Back in Tresor, everyone is digging right in and it’s so tasty it nearly brings tears to Hikaru’s eyes – as Fudou said, hunger is the best spice. This food, nature’s bounty, is what gives us the strength to live and both Marin and Daisuke know they must be thankful for it. Apollo tries taking advantage of this distraction to take Daisuke’s share but the guy’s keeping a close eye on it – this spacefaring prince is a hungry animal today, Adette sees. Rand and Gain are eating a bit more and drinking a bit less today, though Rand still plans on getting tanked later on. “Drink, eat, drink, eat, drink and eat! Nothing beats that combo!” Gain is convinced and figures some fine sake is just the thing to go with our victory meal.  Pala, meanwhile, is stuffing her face with some really tasty steak which Chil reveals to be a roasted lizard. She doesn’t care, saying she’d eat even a cobra if it tasted this good! Jiron passes her some shrimp and she’s more than eager to accept, eliciting a chuckle from Enil over the change in attitude from before. Renton is being kept busy as a short-order chef, being badgered by Raita and Matthew to bring their chicken and pizza. The kid cries that he won’t even have time to eat with their constant requests but, thankfully, Eureka’s made him a sandwich for him to eat on the fly -“Th-thank you! I’ll treasure it forever!” he says. Benkei yells out to the blushing kid, demanding his hot-dog and off goes Renton. Eureka doesn’t know if her sandwich is worth anything if he won’t eat it and Rena sighs that while his stomach and head are both empty, his heart is full enough. Regardless, Hilda figures everyone’s learned the value of eating properly and Mischa hopes this’ll put an end to that reckless dieting. Rena isn’t so sure, however. We’ll see what’s what after Silvia, Tsugumi and Reika come crashing back to reality.   : Happy…! I’m so happy! My entire body is overflowing with joy…! : Aah… This is so tasty, I feel like I’m about to burst! : This is the best food, the best sweets EVER! I’m in heaven!  Location: Women’s Shower Room   : AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! : But… how...?! : What the hell is this…?! All the weight we lost fasting came back in one day?! Actually, we’ve gained weight!! : Oh… and there’s the rebound. : Rebound?! : Your bodies got much more efficient in taking nourishment due to your fasting. : And if you overeat in that state, you’ll gain weight at a much faster rate than before. : N-no… : We went through all that hell and, in the end, only got heavier…? : Ah…ahaha…ha… What was that whole week for then…?

The Hungry Bomber chapter is probably one of the sillier Aquarion things featured in the Special Disc. And the one that's somewhat restrained and sensible, since you don't need a thesaurus and a book of fables to explain Fudo this time. The other one featured is...certainly something else.

So is there an actual Getter ep about food destruction or did they add the Demons to make it less of a straight-up Aquarion adaptation?

Dieting is good for slimming down for an event (like a wedding) and nothing else. At least outright fasting often has spiritual elements to justify it.

It seemed like in this case that the girls were basically just skipping meals in a desperate attempt to lose weight rather than properly diet and exercise. In lots of cases in fiction diet seems to be used as code for "don't eat so much fatty" rather than "eat healthy and in regular portions."

Dieting doesn't (usually) mean correcting ones food intake permanently: it means starting a "program" to control one's weight, generally following it only long enough to gain certain results before ending it and making an empty promise to avoid the "bad" foods of the original diet. For example, people might starve themselves for a few days a week over a few months, or avoid red meat, or completely cut out carbohydrates...basically, any of the gimmicky crap that makes up the $40 billion a year (for Americans) industry; and that's without including the darker side of dieting, which involves smoking or using "hard" drugs to boost one's metabolism (something I've actually seen personally a sad number of times). Such diets are quite different from the more effective methods: avoiding "empty" (non-nutritious) calories as much as one can bear, not eating after hunger abates, avoiding too much drinking...that sort of thing.

You're talking about fad diets. A healthy diet involves exactly what you have described in your second paragraph. It is still considered a diet.

 Location: Southern South Ameria – Tresor Institute  Chil is looking for Ana but people haven’t seen her – not even Maeter and the Gekko’s kids, says Renton. Her lynxes are also gone, so maybe she left to play with them? Doing so by herself sounds dangerous but Bello figures she can take care of herself. Sara isn’t so sure, however, relating that the girl seemed a bit bummed out lately. Bello wonders if she ran away because of some sort of problem and Chil figures Renton, the resident “runaway kid” could shed some light on this. He can’t but Gauli steps in and tells us to relax: Ana just went with Adette over to a nearby town. Sara has a bit of a bad feeling…  In said town, Adette asks Ana if she shouldn’t have told Gainer about where she’s going but the girl didn’t want him to worry so much on her account. Adette would still like to hear the reason why Ana wanted her company to this town (not that she wasn’t free, mind). Ana and the lynxes seem uncertain but Adette promises – woman to woman – not to tell anyone. The kid decides to trust her then, and says she came here in hopes of getting in touch with her father back in Wulgusk. It's not that she's homesick; rather, she’s worried that since our people have earned Kids’ scorn due to the Exodus, he’ll also turn his sights upon their old town. Adette reminds her that ZEUTH took down Kids' trump card (the Overdevil), so he should stay mum for now. Ana counters by saying that the Siberian Rail still has a steady flow of business and resources, so they could still attack the Domepolis. Adette does admit that Kids, ever the self-styled king, isn’t the type to forget people who’ve slighted him. And, so, Ana wants to use this town’s UN center to make sure her father is OK. Why not the terminals in ZEUTH’s ships? Because Gainer and co. would notice and they’d get concerned. Adette jokingly asks if Ana’s saying she’s too uncaring to get concerned with her; regardless, she admits that a grown woman like her wouldn’t pry into the princess’ personal matters. Indeed, Ana’s chosen well. She’s thankful that Ana’s trusted her enough to confide all this and swears to do everything in her power to help.  Their conversation is interrupted with the arrival of Zakki, who recognizes Ana as Medayu’s daughter. Adette tags him as a Saint Reagan soldier, though he corrects her that it’s FORMER soldier. Still, recovering the Exodizing daughter of Wulgusk’s feudal lord would be just the ticket for him to recover his status! He moves to grab the kid but is blocked by her lynxes. With this opening, Ana and Adette run.  Special Disk 4-2 – Miss Adette’s Struggle  Ana thanks Adette for saving her but it’s too early for that – Zakki isn’t giving up that easily and shows up with troops. Asuham’s run off to do his own thing, so Zakki will follow suit. The Siberian Rail is on a downward spiral but he can still make it back to Saint Reagan if he brings in Ana. His soldiers recognize Adette’s Dobeck up ahead (why not the Rushrod?!) and her fame precedes her. Still, it’s only one unit against their group, so Zakki sends the Dogozzos’ in to immobilize the thing. Ana is worried about the enemy numbers but Adette promises to keep up her promise – she’ll pull out all the stops for the princess! Casting Drive, Iron Wall and Strike, she proclaims to always get the job done when it’s go-time. The Siberians better be ready, because she’s all fired up today!  Kill everything, don’t lose Adette. This is a MUCH easier mission compared to the last one. Adette’s Dobeck isn’t the strongest around but only the Dogozzos will attack and she’s more than equipped to deal with them. If you want to steamroll through this, use some of your extra cash to buff up her unit prior to this. We’ll get the plot rolling soon enough – until then, stay where you are and hold the line. Make sure you start casting Focus on the 2nd turn to make things simpler.  I upgraded her Dobeck, so this should be good enough.   : Hold on tight, Ana! My piloting isn’t the most graceful around! : P-please, don’t worry about me! Do as you’d like! : Easy, girl. Even I got scared the first time I stepped in an actual battle.: Of course, I was way older than you when I did. : Ms. Adette…: Still, you put your trust in me so, whatever happens, I’ll bring you back in one piece! : It takes an adult to be a teacher…! And watching over children is as natural as it gets for one!     Yup. Repeat this a few times and you’ve a good grasp on the first two turns. When turn three rolls around – or you kill eight Dogozzos – the plot kick in.   Zakki’s getting annoyed that one unit is being this troublesome; he charges in and slaps her silhouette machine around. Zakki warns her to surrender or he’ll crush her Dobeck’s cockpit. Adette isn’t taking it, though, preferring to keep going and bring him down along with her. Would she get Ana caught in the crossfire, then? Indeed, Zakki concedes that a pilot of her skill could defeat his Golem but she wouldn’t end this unscathed. What if something were to happen with Ana? A child like her would certainly be at far greater risk of life. Adette hesitates but Ana yells at her to stop dawdling and keep fighting. Opening the Dobeck’s hatch, she yells at Zakki for trying to use such disgusting methods to capture her in order to fulfill his own wishes. If he’s, indeed, a warrior worthy of that Overman then he should be ashamed! He will not achieve his goals with such petty deeds! Adette loves her speech, and even Zakki has to admit that Ana sounds every inch a princess. Still, he won't stand for the insult, and moves to teach her a little lesson.  Adette doesn't give him the chance though: shoving Ana out the cockpit and busting out a kamikaze attack with her “Teacher Ninpo”, she pushes Zakki far away. There’s plenty of room for Ana to escape while she makes good on her threat to take Zakki with her. Guess she could only fulfill half of that promise but she tells Ana that she can count on Gauli to get in touch with home – she won’t allow the princess to surrender herself in a bid to save her. It’s the adults’ job to keep the children safe and she won’t hear any word against it, even from a princess. Zakki is more than willing to take her life…  But, just then, he gets blasted away by the rest of our folks – looks Adette WILL be able to see that whole promise done. Gauli’s leading the charge and Adette is very glad her beloved ninja arrived when he did. Gainer wants to ask Ana what she was up to but Adette tells him no keep his nose off these ladies’ affairs. And if he’s got time to object, then he can tag in with her and help give Zakki what he deserves! Adette is so commanding a presence that Enil and Pala wonder if Gauli is really alright with being her boyfriend. His haughty smirk speaks volumes but Gain tells everyone to save it for after we’ve dealt with these stray Siberians. Zakki decides to shift his objective to just destroying ZEUTH (lol). Ana doubts a man like him could pull it off but since Adette knows he’s not the type to listen, he’ll just have to feel it in his broken bones! I don’t really need to show any more, do I? On one side, we’ve the full force of Rand’s ZEUTH and, on the other, Dogozzos, Dobecks, Under Golems and Zakki. Montage!          : Adette Kistler! All my plans fell apart because of your stubbornness!: Blaming others for your own screw-ups, eh? Shows how good you are!: I always love strong men, even when they’re my enemies. That’s not the case with you, though!: You’re just a wimp!            : Black Southern Cross! I’d still have my commission if you hadn’t drawn Asuham’s ire! : What, you got your own unwarranted beef with me, too? You’re Asuham’s underling, alright.  : That said, as pig-headed as he is, I can at least respect the guy for fighting for his family. : How?! All he cared about was his personal vendetta! : Still, I’d always take a guy like that over someone who’d chase after a kid just to get ahead in life.        Zakki may have left Asuham but his losing streak continues. Still, he promises to make a comeback someday and ejects. The guy really matches Asuham, Gain and Adette think – his dreams bigger than his skills can keep up with. With the bad guys dealt with, it’s off to fulfill Ana’s task. No, Gainer can’t ask what it’s about, so Gain and Rand suggest they get out of their way. Ana is very glad to have met a woman like Adette. Like she said, the princess chose well in confiding with her.  Over by the UN station, Duke Medayu is overjoyed to see his daughter again, and surprised in equal measure when her first question is about the security of Wulgusk. He hesitates and Ana takes that as confirmation that her fears about Siberian Rail retaliation came true. She tells him she'll head home at once, but he cuts her off in mid-sentence, saying that he does not want to see the face of any child of his uncaring enough to go off and Exodize. “You are disowned and may never come back!”, he yells and Ana runs off in tears. Adette tells him that he's gone too far, especially given how much Ana's worried about him. He’s well aware but confesses that due to the current state of society, it’s not impossible for the flames of war to consume Wulgusk and destroy House Medayu. Thus, he wants Ana to expand her horizons, gaining the wisdom and strength needed to live on her own. So long as Ana lives, the Medayu bloodline will not run out. He realizes Ana must trust Adette implicitly, and although he doesn't know Adette, he implores her to look after his daughter. Adette muses that it must be nice to have a family, and assures the Duke that she'll take very good care of his daughter, her beloved student. “I swear to you that I’ll keep that girl safe. And I’ll bring her back to you when this voyage is over. So stay alive until then.”, she says.  Ana is still crying when Adette comes and finds her. She asks Adette not to think ill of her father, knowing he only wanted her to continue travelling unconcerned with him. Amidst her sobbing, Ana thanks her father and promises to see this through as the scion of House Medayu. Adette inwardly tells Ana to cry as much as she wants. There’s no one else here to see this and Adette will stay with her until she’s satisfied.

This is a pretty boring mission IMO. Zakki's got nothing to really say or do, it's pretty much nothing but King Gainer characters doing stuff so there's no cross-series interaction going on, and the only mildly interesting part is when Ana contacts her father, but they kind of ruin it in this version. In the original he just straight up hangs up on her after the whole "break her heart to save her" thing and I thought it made for a more powerful moment that way.

 Location: South Ameria – Tresor Institute – Freeden, Lounge  The older men have asked Norman to bartend for them but he doesn’t mind it – he’ll do whatever he can to be of use. Well, Rand is much obliged and Tex is impressed with the butler’s skill: his drinks, the timing of his conversation, everything is perfect. Norman is pleased at their enjoyment. Mel, nearby, comments on how they’ve turned the Freeden’s lounge into their private bar but Rand says Jamil gave the OK for it. Granted, Kei wonders whether they SHOULD be drinking this early in the day. Roger, meanwhile, excuses himself after a measly pint. Still, he tells Rand that he’s some business to attend to and runs off. Despite that, Stoner does admire how stylish he is wearing a suit even now. “That’s because those are the only clothes he has,” Dorothy quips. Holland asks if she knows what Roger’s up to but, no, she didn’t care to ask. Still, considering who we’re dealing with, Gain assumes it’s work. Maybe or it could also be a hot date, Kei posits. Rand seriously doubts it but Mel asks if Dorothy’s OK with him possibly being on a date. Again, she says it hasn’t anything to do with her.  But, no, it actually is work. A Predgio Towers soldier has been asked by a certain someone to hire Roger specifically. And, indeed, he’s not about to turn down a request made of such a polite, honest person – especially after having his abilities given such high recognition. With that, the soldier departs to relay the good news. Said job is procure a present to someone dear to the client but, before Roger leaves, he asks if Mel wouldn’t rather show herself. She’s surprised he noticed her but Roger says he’s an old hand at shadowing and being shadowed by people. When he asks, Mel reveals that they thought he was going on a date with someone. Roger concedes that he’s going to be seeing a woman in a bit and Mel quickly peppers: who is it? How did they get together? When’s the wedding? Seeing how very curious she is, Roger allows her to tag along. Mel worries she’ll be getting in the way but there’s no problem. First off, Roger owes Rand one for helping Dorothy back in Paradigm City; secondly, he has a policy of treating women with respect. Even very young ones. With that, they set out to see said woman while it’s still daytime.  Their stop is a flower garden, from which Roger has been instructed to arrange for some flowers to be purchased. The woman he's been hired to deal with is the owner of the garden – his “date”, so to speak. Mel realizes what’s actually going on and sighs in relief. Roger does wonder why she’s showing so much care about his relationships with women – wasn’t she wholly dedicated to Rand? “’Course I am! Disappointed?” she asks. “Maybe if you were my type, I’d be,” Roger sasses back. As Mel pouts, she says she was just snooping about because she was concerned for Dorothy.  : For Dorothy…? What do you mean? : Huh…? Come on. She likes you, you know. : Aah? : That dry attitude of hers is just how she expresses her love. I’m a girl, so I can tell.: I’m not so sure about that… She’s an android, for starters.: So is Mome and she really cares for Kei. Dorothy has a heart of her own, so is it really strange that she can love someone?: I’ll concede that she, indeed, has a heart. But I am not certain if that makes it so she’s capable of love; to say nothing of the fact that I’d be the target of such affection.: Oh, please… she’s just being reticent. : Well, we’ll need to suspend this conversation for now. The other party to this negotiation has arrived. The owner of the garden comes over, Ms. Flores (”flowers” in Portuguese and Spanish) and she’s been informed that Roger wishes to purchase the flowers from her garden. Indeed, he’s been hired to intermediate the purchase and his client is more than willing to pay her appropriately for them. Unfortunately, the flowers aren’t for sale. See, this garden was Flores’ grandfather’s pet project and while the Break the World did a number on it, the flowers still managed to endure. Thus, these flowers are as significant to her as life itself and she couldn’t possibly sell them away as mere goods. Roger thinks and quickly acquiesces, apologizing for the trouble. Both Mel and Flores are surprised at how easily he backed down and Roger explains that, though he’s a Negotiator by trade, he doesn’t work merely to get a payday. Indeed, he sees a kindred spirit in Ms. Flores so he doesn’t want to hassle her. Best to try again another time.  They’re interrupted, however, when Breakers from the “Estee Company” arrive. Mr. Estee is looking to buy her land and they’ve come to get her reply. She tells them to take a hike, as she won’t sell it for whatever amount. See, that is precisely the kind of answer that Mr. Estee didn’t want to hear. Roger doesn’t really care to watch the lady be threatened around these beautiful flowers and steps in. No, he’s not Flores’ hired bodyguard but he’s still very willing to give those who are abusive to women what they deserve. The Breakers aren’t about to cause trouble out in the open and back off – it’s Roger’s “lucky day”. That said, they warn Flores that Mr. Estee will be waiting for her compliance ASAP. As they go, Roger ponders this landgrabber and his interest in his beautiful garden. This situation warrants a closer look…  Over by the Estee Company, Mel is quite impressed with how smart Roger was in offering to negotiate on Ms. Flores’ behalf. Deal with her problem and she’ll certainly give him the flowers as reward and, thus, he gets his payment from the Predgio client. Not quite what Roger had in mind: the two are separate jobs, and Flores offered him cash for his time like any other assignment. The last thing Roger wants to do is use other people's hardships as a fodder for his own business interests. Mr. Estee shows up then and greets Roger, who notes how things seem to be very busy around his company. Indeed, Estee chalks it up to the times themselves. No one knows when another plot of land might simply be warped away, so his company has been offering to purchase these from their owners. You could almost call this philanthropic work, no? Roger isn’t buying it. From his point of view, Estee has been leveraging the instability of the world and the people’s anxiety in order to buy land at vastly undercut prices. And when people won’t play ball, he sends his goons to intimidate them into compliance. Estee calls lies and slander but Roger isn’t here to debate how he does business. He just wants the guy to back off on Ms. Flores and her garden. Not going to happen as, indeed, this is business and Estee will give Roger what for if he decides to be a problem. Roger now sees in full what kind of slimeball Estee is, and Estee tells to never show his face around here again. Roger amiably withdraws, though he rather suspects that Estee WILL see him again, and soon. Lest Estee forget, this town has things called "police" and "public opinion"... things which Roger intends to use to make him change his ways.  It's already dark when they exit the office building but Roger still has one more job he wants to take care of. Wreck the company with the Big O? No, he tells Mel, as using violence to get his way would make him no better than Estee. A Negotiator has his intellect and vocabulary as his main weapons, and physical violence is only justified for self-defense… Granted, Mel and the rest of ZEUTH certainly had the wrong idea about that, considering how Roger’s negotiations usually end. Despite how often Roger’s had to rely on the Big O to see his job done, he insists that it was unavoidable. He just has the bad luck to often get trapped in situations where brute force is the only option. If that makes him a "troublemaker", so be it. Well, Mel wants him to explain it all to everyone lest this misunderstanding put him in a ZEUTH v ZEUTH situation with one of our folks. : … : Mel, your feelings for Rand Travis are a delusion. : Huh?!: He’s been by your side since you were young and, thus, you’ve mistaken your familial feelings for romantic ones. This is what everyone in ZEUTH says.: No, that’s not true! No way! And screw what anyone else says! My feelings for my darling are real!: Precisely.: Whaaa?!: If you’ve something within you that stands unwavering at all times, then you shouldn’t mind what others think about it.: Roger…: …Alright, Mel. These words are for your ears only and mustn’t be repeated to anyone else, OK? : I want to see everything with my own two eyes. That is why I left Paradigm City, why I joined ZEUTH… Even our battle against our other half was no more than another step towards ascertaining the truth.: But that only happened because someone tricked us into making that sort of mistake.: If our reasoning was flawed, then we must acknowledge our mistake and move to correct it. : And if that unwavering core is present, you needn’t be bound by regret or shame. And while I do not speak for ZEUTH as a whole, that’s how it is for me.: Hm… I understand, Roger.: Granted, I am still human and I get hurt when I’m misunderstood. However, there is someone who does understand who I am.: So long as that person is there to call me “Roger Smith”, then I’ll remain myself. Regardless, this conversation has gone on for long enough. Roger wants to poke around town to gather proof about Estee’s misdeeds – judging from the rumors he’s heard, it shouldn’t be difficult. Of course, it won’t be easy as the guy has sent his Breakers over to silence this “squawking crow”. Whatever info he might’ve gotten, it won’t do him any good once he’s six feet under! Roger sighs at these petty thugs, running their mouths before even seeing their task done. His lap annoys the guys and, without a gun handy, Roger grabs Mel and calls for retreat.  Special Disk 4-3 – At the Risk of Pride  The bad guys turn out to have Walker Machines, which they gleefully haul out for the chase. Since the whole drat town can see the mechs clomping down the street, Roger needn't even worry about exposing him anymore. The Breakers are unafraid of the law, which they think will turn the other way when faced with Estee's overwhelming forces. This isn’t the full extent of Estee’s toys, though. MSs and Chiram Devices also pop out, part of Estee’s proprietary Guard System – a bunch of second-hand units running on AIs. Isn’t this a bit too much to run down a couple of people, Mel thinks? Maybe but the Breakers figure it’s a good chance for a show of force. This is exactly one of those situations that forces Roger’s hand and, with Mel’s own validation, he calls out to Big O… but it doesn’t come instantly, like it would in Paradigm City. The Breakers figure he’s bluffing and move in for the kill. Mel cries out for Rand to be strong without her. No need, though, as Roger sees someone coming – the one who does understand him.  Here comes the Big O, with Dorothy at its controls. Roger was expecting this and, indeed, she figured they’d best prepare the bot when she heard he left for a job. Roger himself is very appreciative of her precise help, always respecting how he does things and perfectly poised to support him when the need arises; neither too far away nor underfoot. Rand is also here, apologizing for Roger having to take care of Mel (not that it’s any problem). He’s also dragged Löwen along, though the guy has no idea what’s going on here. Dorothy calls Roger over – she and the Big O are waiting – and the Breakers are surprised that something did answer the guy’s “SHOWTIME” call. Still, it’s only three units. They can take them! “No, you can’t.” Dorothy deadpans.  It’s the rest of ZEUTH, having been called over by Dorothy. Roger apologizes for dragging them into his mess but Apollo quips that they’re all used to things ending in a brawl with him. Mel is just about to correct him when Roger prods her and she remembers to keep quiet. Rand does wonder what’s going on with the two of them but she waves him off. Estee hops on the mic and, having seen us on the UN as the Federation’s elite attack force, yells that the Feds are trying to annex their city. Renton wants to get in a yelling match with him but Mel tells him to ignore the guy. Let him say whatever he wants, we know who we are and what we do! Rand is impressed with her new insight but Gain and Holland very much agree: we’ve always done what we thought was right and that’s that. With no choice, Estee orders his guys to wreck us. Since Dorothy's in the cockpit already, she tells Roger she'll support him directly. He smiles and observes that she's in a fine mood today: did something good happen to her? She shrugs. Oh, well. Let’s get to it, then!  Kill everything, don’t lose a ship. We’ve a straight up battle with assorted Walker Machines, Fed MSs and Chiram Devices and no surprises. Dorothy is supporting Roger but, no, you don’t get to use Final Stage. Spread out and destroy. : Hm, the Big O’s performing marvelously today. Is it thanks to your being aboard? : It’s thanks to Norman’s maintenance.: That was a joke, meant to lighten the situation.: Looks to me that you’re the one who’s had something good happen.                   Repeat.  Estee's ambitions end up in smoking ruin in short order, bringing part of Roger's job to a close in somewhat more spectacular fashion than anticipated. As for the other half...  Roger goes see Ms. Flores, who thanks him for making this town peaceful again. All in a day’s work. Still, she feels bad for the paltry sum he’s being paid but, as he said before, his priority isn’t making money. If anything, he didn’t care for those ruffians trying to claim this garden that means so much to her. Then, she hopes he’ll accept these with her gratitude:  A bouquet of anemone flowers which Roger recalls signify “fleeting love”. Flores pokes him and says that they also signify “expectation for the future”. Regardless, she adds that Roger can now complete his original job. He ponders this for a second and asks if he could presume upon her for one flower more.   : …Did you finish your job, Roger?: Indeed. I just delivered the items for the client’s envoy.: “Items”?: A present to a certain special someone. The client hired me to procure it.: I see.: …: Um… Dorothy… this may sound unlike me but…: …: Thank you, Dorothy. I’ll always be grateful for your support. : A flower…: I imposed on the garden’s owner a wee bit but it seemed appropriate to get one for you, too.: “A present to a certain special someone”, hm? If that’s the case with this one, then I’m very happy… my beloved…: R. Dorothy Wayneright …: That was a joke. : O-Oh…: I like to make people smile and be happy as anyone else, you know.: Well, I beg your pardon for my surprise. How about I offer a smile by way of apology?: Still, I really do appreciate the gift. Thanks, Roger.: Don’t mention it, Dorothy. : (…I do wonder how things’ll go on the client’s side…)So, thread, are you Team Dorothy or Team Angel?  Location: North Ameria – New Earth Federation HQ, Anemone’s Room   : I’m back, Anemone. : …: That was quite the hectic mission – spanning from southern Galia all the way to South Ameria. I’ve only now just returned.: Operation Crusade was a success, though, so I think we’ll both be quite busy now.: … : Anemone…: Dewey… didn’t come to see me even once… I was alone all this time…: But the Colonel has been terribly busy and…: No… he really doesn’t see me as anything but a tool… : Don’t even think that, please. : Shut up! I don’t wanna hear your crap!: Anemone…: …: Oh, yes… I brought you a gift. Here… : Anemones…: When I heard they had your name, I just had to look for them.: Anemones mean “fading hope”…: Huh…?: If I fail, I’ll just be thrown away like garbage… These really do suit me to a “T”…: You’re wrong, Anemone. These flowers mean “expectation”. : Dominic…: The person who found these flowers for me said so, you know.: “Expectation”… You actually think that applies to me?: Not just me. The Colonel also has very high expectations of you, I’m sure. : Hm… Quite the thoughtful present, coming from you…: Anemone…: (I’d do anything for you… I’d stand against the entire world, if only to see you smile…): (Blast that “fleeting love” business. I’m going to help you.)

The director should also make Dorothy look older if she's going to be in the role of a romantic interest. This stage started kind of meh but got better with the second half and also Roger confiding in Mer is kind of neat.
