[After that time, Hana's more than psyched up. She's made her decision - one way or another, she's going out to fight those beasts. Her failure with Haruka and Imber is still fresh in her mind, but that's what's driving her this time - she isn't failing Dita. Which is why she's pushing for her most ambitious idea yet: Fitting the Desu Tsubomi with

Holy crap.

Desu...

Mepo!

[Eri's standing there with her two mascots, gauging the appearance critically.] You are really going to be slowed down... but hey, more dakka is pretty cool anyhow.

[wimpy_cure_ever]

Eri...

I know I will... but, it's... it's mostly to save energy. I know what we have isn't enough, so this is just to, well... thin out the herd.

[marinefashion]

Well that does make sense. playing turret will definitely cause them to think twice about flooding the battlefield with targets.

[Eri smiled and patted Hana on the shoulder.] Don't worry, I'll hold the fort back on the Chalice. You deal with helping Dita.

[wimpy_cure_ever]

[Hana blinks, blushing a bit.] A-Are you sure, Eri?

[coolblueiceman]

[Chrono raises an eyebrow upon encountering the Tsubomi.] Hana, I'm sure there's a good reason you've loaded Tsubomi with enough weapons to break into the average Bureau Ground Forces facility. But she can't fly like this. [He's trying to keep his tone soft to make it sting less, but...]

[wimpy_cure_ever]

B-But, I have to try something, Chrono! I want to out there and help Dita fight those things and I know what the Tsubomi has isn't enough!

[coolblueiceman]

I'm not sure you realize just how much weight those add to Tsubomi... There's a reason only very big mecha with lots of armor load that much weaponry; it's that they're so heavy already that their frames are reinforced to be able to take the strain.

Hana, I know how you feel - really, I do. But if you go out there with all those guns loaded, Tsubomi will be too slow to be effective, and too slow to protect you if something happens. Dita would be very sad if one of us got killed trying to protect her. [Not that she's much better now, with the threat of leaving hanging over her, but...]

[wimpy_cure_ever]

B-But... I...

...I failed to save Imber a-and I don't to fail Dita. I don't want to ruin another fight, especially not this...!

[zetahatsudo]

[whistles] You'd make Zeon proud with this sort of armament, Hana. You intend on deploying soon?

[wimpy_cure_ever]

Mmmn. No matter what, I'm gonna be there for Dita...

[zetahatsudo]

Well then, if you're worried about being slowed down by the weight, don't: you can have the Tsubomi ride on the back of my Gundam, that way, you'll be able to keep mobile and provide support fire.

[wimpy_cure_ever]

Heh...

Thanks, Kamille.

[sniper_luver]

[Rinon came in about halfway through the conversation]

It's right, you know. If you overpower the frame, it'll slow you down. Have you reinforced the rest of the frame to cover the additional weight?

[She might look like she only cares about the amount of explosives, but she did modify her Gun Sniper to be able to carry it]

[wimpy_cure_ever]

H-Huh? Reinforce?

Did none of that-desu!

C-CHYPrE!

[sniper_luver]

Well, then, we'd better get on that. If you don't reinforce the frame, your joints can give out from the extra weight.

[wimpy_cure_ever]

Okay...

Might be reinforced, but she'll be incredibly slow, and that's not what PreDesus are known for-desu!
