The likely result of hiding in the Elite cafeteria is getting found by Yukari and dragged out.

Frankly, perhaps we should investigate a third option?

Unless she spends her time sitting with Koujirou. Even if she does drag us out, I'm not entirely sure it'd be a bad thing. Regardless, any suggestions for a third option?

Hang around the Teacher's lounge again? We could learn something, maybe? Or work on our Wave Force in our head? It's a good place to do either, really, considering we don't need a medium to interact with the internet, so equipment isn't really a problem, and it's a calm environment, so neither is concentration. Putting in a little more time for our Transcendent Offense is always a good thing.
 
I really want to know how Valk units are made.
I talked a bit about this back when the thread started but might as well list it out, here's some truncated notes, I have this as a timeline but eh, focus it down.

Immediately Post Impact humanity is suffering pretty much as you would expect, global commerce extinct, CONUS, North West Africa and EU nations directly hit by the major fragments of the Impactor and smaller meteorites raining down pretty much globally, tsunamis for all Pacific and Atlantic coastlines, global firestorms, global super storms, acid rain which was thankfully not global, USA and Russia Deadhand systems launching their WMD stocks thankfully most knocked off course by inclement weather, the whole nine yards. The methane release from frozen stocks being disrupted countered the nuclear winter effect so yay I guess?

Now amongst all the wreckage there would be these tiny white globes could occasionally be found.

Naturally, people started hitting them with hammers to see if they would break. No one hit quite hard enough to the relief of historians currently.

But occasionally, with direct skin contact, they would apparently just disappear into humans body, which would naturally freak them out and have them say "do not want"which would cause it to reappear.

Pretty useless really, if apparently completely harmless so lab conditions got relaxed and then one researcher wore a digital wristwatch whilst handling those 'weird snowglobes' and then suddenly realised that she knew the exact geographical time of wherever she was standing through a heads up display. Her wrist watch was also missing and when she wanted it back it appeared in her hand and she no longer knew the time. Wow, you get a forcefield? Awesome how come we never noticed this before?

Science occurs.

It's discovered that these miracle machines could pretty much absorb, repair and improve upon any technology given to them. So naturally one person asked if she could absorb a defunct solar electrical power grid. She could. Suddenly amenities. Food processing plant? Yep, then spit it back out and it's brand new. Chemical processing plant? Yep, what do you need, I can synthesise basically any industrial chemical. Heavy metal working plant? Yep, feels slower taking this in than before though... Sewage processing? Oh god no what please don't make me... fine. Yes it works. No I'm not going to let you pump sewage into a machine I'm attached to that's fucking gross let me spit it back out.

It's discovered that synched machines can either be stored 'somewhere I dunno' or completely external so long as they stay within range of that weird forcefield.

Suffice to say, more science occurs, other people are discovered to be compatible with the god machines and the start of proper rebuilding starts.

Humanity noticed the weird gender disparity between people compatible with these god machines pretty quickly but who cares.

Then they discover these weird enormous tornadoes roaring around the major impact sites. Naturally, they send people inside to look at what was up. Wow, there's literally what the fuck inside here. Ohh what's this? Weird gravity readings.

Suffice to say, after a little bit of science, humans start jacking Higgs Generators and Higgs Reaction mass from the space contained inside the Tornadoes as fast as they can for free energy forever. 'Better than fusion omfg!' is the general reaction.

Skip a few years, humanity looks to be well on the way to recovery, at least in the areas that people care about, which is the 5 founding UN nations of South Africa, Brazil, India,Australia and China. Then their mining expeditions inside the tornadoes all go silent. A few military convoys get sent in to see what was up. Disappear.

Hmm.

Suddenly, aliens.

Military? What military? The armed forces was literally at the bottom of the UN priority list. The first months are a slaughter of proportions not seen since Impact. Right now, Valkyrie frame are all in the forms of cities and reconstruction vehicles, useless for combat.

These first generation Valkyries quickly ditch their construction materials and synch in military vehicles. Kludged together machines that should have no chance of functioning but do through the Valkyrie Core's upgrading. They managed to hold the line.

People start syncing in military hardware only and begin forming the first proper Valkyrie Frames as we see them, flight capable, dedicated warmachines. They were the first to turn the tide, attacking against Antagonist areas rather than just defend. it was around now that the global draft and other processes were first implemented.

You'd be considered part of the third generation. The UN has gotten its shit together and has a process for creating new Valkyries and plan to wipe out the Antagonists properly.

tl:dr:
Um, here's the actual answer to your question.

1: Valkyrie Cores (excepting The 300) are discovered bare of anything.
2: People synch in machines to them to form the frame,
2.1: Currently, the base machine that is first integrated would be an infantry powered armour with the necessary control software to help neophtes.
2.2: The second thing would be a power generator. Generally fusion.
2.3: Integrate weaponry. The you're done.

3: Give up the completed frames for other people to use.

It's a systematic production line, Valkyrie work on this whilst they are on break from the frontlines. There's no mystique about it.
 
Agreed, well spotted. These two quotes:

Are the frame looking at Kojirou and going "Oh, maybe you are worthy...".
Would this mean that Type 300 Frames are generally cold and impersonal because their Ace pilots generally fail to impress?

I just know footage of this 'practice session' is going to leak somehow.
With Koujirou critically injured, that would be terribly bad form. However, footage might be used by instructors to show trainees what not to do in a Sim.

Up against Class D or E type-0 and she can solo them. :V
Conventional wisdom says that no one can solo a type-0. They forgot to tell Anna that.

So, show of hands: who here is worried Koji is able to take over the narrative at narratively important moments that involve him?
And then we control him. Yeah, not worried.

Just one or two minor additions to the vote, which are easy to get done if we're in the med wing anyway:

[X]Breakfast: Visit Koujirou, see if he is okay.
-[X] If he is not awake, ask his frame what exactly it thought it was doing when it let him override the safeties.
-[X]Evaluate the quality of care. If it meets your standards, reconsider your stance on the medical examinations you refused. You're trusting these people with your friends if they get hurt, after all.
[X]Breakfast: See about acquiring a medical module
-[X]While you are at it, put in a request for a fabricator, through official channels. Best to be prepared.
[X]Morning: Go to class and study Transcendent Offense
[X]Lunch: Hang around with friends
-[X] Discuss the match and pick out where they did right and wrong.

Welp, might as well throw my hat into the ring as well. This is one of the few Quests that had managed to pique my interest. Kudos to Avalanche for his work. :p

P.S. Still taking a while to catch up. Blah.

Nah,
Without the 300 frames, there are perhaps 20 or so people in the world who stand a chance against a Class E Type Zero. With the 300, then the previously mentioned 20 people can now dust up against a fresh and ready Class D Type Zero. When equipped with 300 frames, the number of people who can face off against Class Es goes up to around 600. Of course, seeing as there are only 315 Frames in the 300, that doesn't actually happen.
Conventional wisdom says only 20 people with 300 frames can face off type-0.
They still forgot to tell Anna that. :V

Thanks again to @LegacySC
She faces you, looking up straight at you again, staying silent for a moment, "Koujirou will be fine Valkyrie, but you need to fix your eyes. Don't greet him with that kind of face. Make sure to get some sleep."

She turns away at that and you wonder briefly what she was talking-

Oh, right. You quickly set Durga to repairing your eyeballs, then retract your frame when you are done.
Code:
>Diagnostics engaged.
>Scan target eyes.
>Scanning for errors...
>Scan finished.
>Fuction detected as cause of abnormality.
>Determining use of function...
>Function determined as liquid being released from the eyes.
>Most likely use of function is to remove dust particles and other obstructions form the eyes.
>Due to upgrades this function has been deemed redundant.
>Removing redundant function...
>Redundant function removed.
>No other abnormalities have been detected.
>Diagnostics set back to standby.
 
Uhhhhh. How are cores made? Do humans even make cores, or was every valk core ever just found in a ditch? I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

Obviously they were left there by the Antagonists so that humanity would become dependent on them, only for the Antagonists to hi-jack all the Valkyries, starting with Bread-chan, and have them destroy us.

Or, you know, they could have avoided all that and just destroyed us when we were weak and helpless anyway. -shrug- Anna's overdependence on it does make me a bit nervous though.
 
We determined that the issue was Anna's eyes streaming steady flows of blood. So while the thematics of removing Anna's ability to cry are strong, they aren't the relevant ones currently.

On another note: In regards to the vote bandwagon, it's probably way too soon for Setsuna and Yukari to do a review of the match. I mean, you did see their reactions to what Koujirou did to himself, right? They probably wouldn't react well to Anna going "Ok, so lets review how you did."
From a training perspective, the after action report should be carried out as soon as possible so they actually make the connection between their tactics and mistakes.

From an Anna perspective, this is "how to make sure Koujirou doesn't get himself hurt doing that again".

From Yukari/Setsuna perspective, this is "We need to get Better", note they don't seem to blame Anna. The only person blaming Anna is Anna.

From Koujirou's perspective, "Hey, what I did was pretty coo-ow ow stop hitting me!"

Sounds more like valkyrie cores seems like by-products of the meteorite when it crash landed on earth.

From the take of the tornado and all that, it seems that protals was created which lead to the antagonist place. It didn't seem like they took action until humans start taking the higgs reactor and reach contact with them, then they actively start pushing. I suppose it's reasonable to assume that to the antagonist, the humans are like thieves and pest that suddenly reached their homeworld and they took action.

Honestly, i wouldn't mind if we see things from Antagonist perspective. Maybe for them, the human world is a strange and alien one as they're recruited to defend their nest from these invading people.

[X]Morning: Go to class and study. Too busy studying to think or interact with friends. Need to focus on all this studying, guys.
[X]Lunch: Visit the Elite cafeteria. This is absolutely not hiding from Setsu and Yukari.

I do like the "talk to Koujirou's frame" concept, if only because Anna treating frames as independent entities worthy of being communicated with will go over hilariously with everyone. I see no reason to restrict it to if he's asleep, though.

Getting a medical module is a good way to channel our desire to do better next time in a constructive fashion (as opposed to, say, pacing in our room continuously for twelve hours). I would expect that and the fabricator request to be expedited and result in high-quality gear startlingly quickly, given the arrangement we're now under to study wave force manipulation- there is almost certainly a "give her whatever she wants" sort of order in the pipe, and while there are likely to be limits they're not going to be anywhere within the scope of even vaguely reasonable personal gear.

Avoiding friends until Koujirou is up and about again is entirely reasonable and I see no reason that it would go wrong. Anna's staggering double standard- injury to her means nothing, injury to others means everything- is live and well. While I can see the logic behind after-action reports, that's the kind of thing that I don't really think Anna could handle emotionally; she could have Durga write up an analysis automatically and forward it to them digitally so that she doesn't have to deal with the social aspect of it, though.

That's fine too.

I picked that vote because I'm interested in the Elite cafeteria, and at least making an attempt at hiding from the girls that care about Koji after we beat him up let him beat himself up on us seems appropriate for Anna's character.

I think that's part of the premise of yukikaze, one of the inspirations for this quest (warning, all knowledge comes from tv tropes, accuracy not guarenteed) , so that's quite likely. Unless that was a red herring.
