"With the removal of that electrical inhibitor from his neck, it'll take some time for Braedey to recover and be cleared for active duty."

"It will be a bit of a struggle for him, especially with what's happened to him."

Right now, Matilda, Ritsuko, as well as Maya and Kieron, they were all in a small meeting room talking about Braedey's recovery and what to do for him, as well as for what's going on. With the triple event that had transpired, who's to say that another event like that could happen again?

"From quick CT scans on his brain, as well as on his mental health and such, we've learnt that Braedey's synchronous rate has dropped down to just about 26% when he was shocked by the inhibitor." Maya looked at the files regarding Braedey's medical records. "It'll take a while for him to be ready for combat duty."

"I've talked to Director Fury about doing some medical operations for Braedey, and he said to do what we can to help him out." Kieron spoke up. "Right now, we'll try and see if we can get his synchronous rate back up to maybe around 70% or more."

"Very well. Do whatever you can, but make sure that Braedey is alright." Ritsuko said to Kieron. "And with recent events regarding the Triple Event, who knows if another one of those attacks could happen?"

"We're increasing security around Manhattan-2.0 as we speak." Matilda informed next. "We are also adding some modifications to security doors in case of an ambush attack or something."

"We will be ready for that." Kieron nodded sharply, then he headed off to go talk to the other pilots regarding about what's going on.

"Are you sure we can get Braedey on his feet in time?" Matilda asked to Maya.

"Calculations predict a probability of around 72%." Maya informed to the two women. "We should have a chance."

"Still, that's a good probability." Matilda shrugged.

As they talked, Nash Foster made his way along the halls down towards what was a training hall, where a Conn-pod had been built for training simulations. It looks like a skeletal head of sorts, with many wires and cables all around it, plus a viewing box nearby to keep an eye on the pilot and the systems onboard, as well as create the simulation from inside.

"So how goes our lucky red & blue pilot?" Nash asked

"So how goes our lucky red & blue pilot?" Nash asked.

"So far, his synchronous rate has gone up from 24% to about 39%." Maya informed, Ritsuko looking at the internal cams of Braedey, the latter doing simulation fights to try and get his synchronous rate rise. "It'll take him some time for him to get back on his feet."

"How long do you predict?" Nash asked.

"It should take roughly a week or two." Ritsuko informed back to him. "For now, we're taking our time to see what results come in."
