//Filtered to the Defense Force and Rise//

To those of you on the Defense Force, and to Rise-chan, it is imperative that I speak to all of you at some point today. I know recent circumstances will leave you with other matters on your plate, but this is of some importance. I also ask that this be allowed to take place in a single meeting and that Rise-chan be present, since this concerns her as well.

Adachi-san. We need to talk.

[The camera pans in on the lovely Defense Team HQ's outside. Only that instead of it being a plain building, there's a big bright pink sign with glitter reading GO GO DEFENSE TEAM! RAH RAH RAH! above the door and some flowers lined up along the wall and fairy lights hanging down. The door itself has a big red bow taped to the middle and it's been covered with cute animal stickers.

Then, Rise shows up on screen]

Ta-dah~! How's this? I got up extra early to work on it. I'm thinking I'll work by theme on the inside, because who doesn't like to have a Safari Jungle Office Madness?

Ooh~ I have to decorate the cells, too... Which is better: 'A Night of Lights in Paris' or 'Fun Neon Adventures in Space'?

[Yes, defense team. This is what Gino has stuck you with.]

Hey! Heeeeeey! Is anybody out there!?

[He's practically shouting. Then quiets down, as if talking to himself... Thinking out loud, perhaps?]

Oh c'mon! Someone's got to be around.

[Back to being loud!~]

Can't we talk this over or something? Anything?

Hellloooo!

[Hello video. Pan in on the face of this energetic redhead and tapping the communicator's screen to get your attention. Takes in a deep breath, then, loudly:]

Uhm! Hello!

I need to know-- who decorated this place? I mean, it's absolutely hideous! These 'robots' you've got going on? No offense, but I've seen soup cans that look better~ same thing with that room I woke up in!

Ugh. It's no wonder my managers sent me here under the guise of an inmate, the interior decorators must have gotten their fashion advice from like, cavemen or something. No worries, ah-- Marina, was it? Risette will do her best~!
