Lis, Lisa, What's-her-face-with-the-eyepatch from Infinite Stratos fits the description, I think.

Um. Do you perhaps mean Laura? I wouldn't really call her a PTSD war vet. She was a soldier, part of a super-solider program even, but other then her "Why did the commander leave me!?" I don't remember any real issues.

In fact I don't think Laura ever actually fought in a serious life-or-death battle pre-series.
 
Good fucking lord people, let's not do what just happened at the top of last page again.

I am actually fearing for your lives here.

Yeah, I'm pissed. I would've said something but someone else had already told them off and I didn't want to spam. I like this quest. I do not want /a/ to get it banned.
 
"I really doubt that we would be able to secure another sweep, not without another Wildcard appearing leftfield."

Another wildcard. Implies that this has happened more than once...
Little white lies…

this time, you will.

Eliminate the weakest first


Would the UN have come to help your town earlier if they knew it existed?


Remove the safeties. Real Antagonists to kill.

A sudden impulse to sing strikes you out of nowhere, and you barely manage to resist it. You're quite sure Setsuna wouldn't appreciate the 'K-I-S-S-I-N-G' song. Where did you even know that from?


So, on the pretty-much-canon-by-this-point-because-of-all-the-proof speculation that Durga is both sapient and benevolent towards Anna (She's halping!), I went and found a lot of Anna's Bold-texted thoughts and brought them together. May your speculating powers enlighten you further, for I am incapable of drawing a summary of Durga from this, besides maybe more emotional than Anna.
 
Durga is a good girl who wants her best friend to get out of her shell and is trying to make her feel more confident.

Also, I totally called Durga having a sense of humor more developed than Anna's own.
 
You scan the base, wondering if that was it, when Durga flashes an alert, her 'voice' sounding rather irritated. Pseudo Higgs engine reaction?

…What?

A Type 5 explodes out from a secondary shaft. Dark blue, flat and angular like a pre-Impact stealth bomber, a long segmented tail extended from its back and four limbs trailed outwards from under the main body. A brightly glowing sensor band on it's leading edge shone with amethyst light.

Ah. The simulator could not replicate the Higgs engine signatures output but it tried its best, which was apparently not up to Durga's standards.
Also Durga is a little bit of a perfectionist.
 
"Hey freshie, If you can't make up your mind what to eat, try a little of everything," suggests a blonde cadet from your side, a third year, as she collects a plate, "If you don't like it, throw it. Don't feel guilty about it, the trays might start looking sparse when more people get in, but it never runs out for real."

"Never runs out…?" you mutter, rolling the words around in your mind, the only things that never ran out in your experience were the Antagonists.

She moves past you, collecting fruits then looks back and grins, "Perks of living in an Arcology. Everybody in Perth can gets this much. Get used to it freshie."

She moves on towards a table with a backwards wave.

You turn back to the banquet and shrug, taking her advice, moving from one of the table to the other. You don't even make it a quarter of the way before your plate is stacked too high for you to consider taking anymore.

You move to an empty table and sit down, analysing the food you had taken, due to the manner you were sampling in, your plate was essentially nothing but bread.



Best get started then.
Guys, we have a problem. We started our alphabetical consumption from Br, not A! What shall we do?
 
Clearly this not Japanese school had the greatest bread of all. Anpan.

But seriously, I thought we were simply starting with the bread category, and then alphabetically down the list of breads. Not that we were going alphabetically in terms of categories, ha.
 
Guys, we have a problem. We started our alphabetical consumption from Br, not A! What shall we do?

There aren't that many types of breakfast food that start with the letter A.

So we started with the first type of food whose name began with A. There wasn't any available, so we skipped directly to B, where we found Bread. Then we went down the alphabetical list of every kind of Bread there was on the breakfast tables. Unfortunately, we misjudged just how many kinds of bread there are.
 
Did you at least sign into an elective class?"

"I am planning on visiting them all."

"Okay, that's good. They might formally open at six at night, but there's likely people who there during lunch and breakfast too, so you can visit them also."
This may not have been noticed. We could be going to electives more often than we are now. Pillow fortress ahoy!

We usually use lunch and breakfast for socializing though.

Looks very much like it. Aside from Durga being the shell Anna is in.
 
Hang on, we didn't initially categorize foods, just we took one of each thing and by the time we go to the end of the bread table there was no room on our plate for anything new. Due to the effects of bread trauma we decided to go through the foods in alphabetical order, although the vote to do that was a little confusingly worded.

The table was already in alphabetical order, just it was also in type order. So all the breads at first, the breads sorted by letter. We just undid the type in our list, to make it only in alphabetical order after the Bread Trauma

Well, yes you're right. Unfortunately that explanation just isn't as amusing as the others we made up.
 
JENTHULHU - Director's Bad Day -or, The Secret Government Conspiracy for Anna Sanchez' Mental Welfare
Omake time!

Director's Bad Day -or, The Secret Government Conspiracy for Anna Sanchez' Mental Welfare
-----------------------------------

Director DeVries considered the words on the datapad in front of her. Sudden signups for students wasn't all that unusual, given the sheer body of people to test for Valkyrie Core compatibility- and lord knew they needed every single one they could get- but this one was definitely unusual. Oh, she'd heard of her, anyone with sufficient clearance had, but for the girl's name to show up in paperwork on her desk… She needed to talk to someone up the chain of command.

It took a short time for the phone to be answered, during which she decided to indulge, lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag and letting it out as she heard the voice at the end, "Ah, Director, I confess I have been expecting your call."

"What exactly are you doing? Why is Anna Sanchez being enrolled here? Last I checked she was still in psychological evaluation." She demanded perhaps a bit overly harshly.

"Trust me it wasn't an easy decision, half the brass wanted to slap her into one of the Three Hundred right away, but the girl's only sixteen, and the other half of the brass are seriously worried about her being able to operate as part of a cohesive unit without the strategic grounding all Valkyries are taught. And, frankly, all psychological evaluation, from both observation and a smattering of interviews suggests the girl needs to be resocialized. Badly." He replied, with a sigh, "Damn shame what she had to go through."

She took a moment, thinking on it while savoring the cigarette, finally responding with a bit of a grimace, "I suppose you wouldn't be sending her to the school if you thought she'd be a likely danger to the students or surrounding arcology. Fine. Who's her handler going to be?"

"There isn't going to be one."

"WHAT!? You're telling me you're sending someone like that here without a handler!? You better have a damn good reason for this!" She fetched another cigarette from the pack.

"To be blunt, the psychological department is seriously concerned that a handler could be detrimental to her recovery and resocialization. While we hope she will develop into an exemplary soldier, at the same time we don't want her overly dependant on a commanding officer to make every decision for her… also, having a barely functional biological robot for humanity's best warrior wouldn't exactly be good for PR." His words were precise, direct, and worst of all, she couldn't come up with a direct protest.

"I assume you're not leaving this entirely up to chance? I know you, you have some kind of plan." She accused, taking another drag on the cigarette.

"Correct, you are familiar with the profile for Rokusabe Yukari?"

"Yes, her brother's enrolling this year as well. Girl'd do anything within her power to make sure he remains safe."

"Indeed, we're going to have her escort Miss Sanchez to Perth. We can't control everything that happens, but we can set some things up so that they're likely."

She could see it now, the girl would ask the single best Valkyrie, in the same year as her brother no less, to look after him. There was the chance she might refuse… but if she didn't, that could easily help jump-start her recovery.

"Also, the instructors will most likely give the girl another security net, I doubt we even need to tell them to treat the girl well, but you might want to give them access to pertinent parts of her file, if their authorization doesn't already give them access. Additionally, by putting her in an arcology, we can have programs compile observational footage from the near omnipresent cameras in the place, so long as we keep this observation passive, she shouldn't notice and we can essentially have her under constant evaluation, nearly twenty-four seven."

She tapped her finger on the desk some, taking another drag, before commenting, "Fine, you win you old bastard. But if things go to hell, it's on your head, not mine."

"Trust me, if I could think of a better way, I'd be taking it in a heartbeat. Just make sure things are ready. We will be watching, Director." He finished, closing the call.

Looking at the pack of cigarettes, the Director had a sinking suspicion she'd be needing more… a lot more.
