Einstein: Madam Theresa, the mech squad is in position

Einstein is seen inside of her personalized mech, with an army of Anti-Entropy mechs behind her forming a blockade.

Dr. Tesla: Main squad is also in position, we're ready to roll

Tesla is also inside her own mech. Accompanying her, is Himeko and Akiri and they all have just been dropped off by the Helios to an empty air terminal.

Theresa: Copy that. All squads, prepare to engage, the operation begins now

(30 minutes ago...)

Einstein: Alright. Here's the rundown of the situation

The allied forces of St. Freya and Anti-Entropy are gathered on the bridge of the Helios. Dr. Lieserl Albert Einstein is standing in front of everyone as she is the one putting together their battle plan.

Einstein: Our scouting drones reported that Schicksal is busy dealing with a large wave of Honkai beasts raiding HQ.

On the large holographic screen behind her, a live broadcast of a group of Schicksal mechs is shown, fighting off an army of Honkai beasts.

Einstein: They're also still trying to subdue the Judgement class which attacked the Helios earlier

Himeko: Any idea why they are suddenly attacking headquarters at such numbers?

Theresa: It probably has something to do with the Honkai energy spike we detected

Einstein: That is my guess as well. Such magnitude of Honkai energy could only come from one source

Akiri: A Herrscher...

Einstein nodded.

Einstein: This is the highest recorded energy spike since Nagazora and Manila. And it's still increasing to-

Tesla: Hey mophead, we're up against the clock here, no time for your science talk!

Dr. Frederica Nikola Tesla interrupted. She is a young-looking woman with red hair.

Theresa: We can take advantage of this chaos while HQ's defences are occupied

Einstein: Agreed. I propose that we begin our offensive here. Schicksal HQ Air Terminal 3

The screen changes to show the airship terminal, situated at the edge of the HQ.

Einstein: It's fairly isolated from HQ's other facilities, meaning that enemy reinforcements will take time to arrive

Dr. Tesla: It also houses an access terminal which we could use to deactivate the defences in the sector and figure out where the Kaslana girl is being kept

Theresa: Alright. Now it's the matter of how we're going to conduct the attack

Einstein: Considering the size and strength of our forces, we'll have to split our forces into two. One will directly attack the Air Terminal while the other will confront enemy reinforcements

Himeko: Seems simple enough

Einstein: Then it's settled. I will lead a mech squad to confront reinforcements. Major Himeko will lead the advance to the terminal and deactivate the sector's defences

Himeko nodded in agreement.

Theresa: Alright we have our plan... Now let's put it into action...

(Present time...)

Himeko: How many more of these damn things do we have to destroy?!

Currently, on the air terminal, Himeko, Akiri, and Tesla are fighting an army of mass-produced, multi-purpose humanoid robots called Modules.
