Homura frowns. "Before that," she says. "We are doing teamwork practice, right? Two versus two?"
"Yep, that's what I was thinking," you agree.
She nods. "I volunteer to team up with Mami."
Hmm. Y'know what, I can deal with it. We're going to get
demolished, but I can deal with it.
This is encouraging. Mami showing such an apparently genuine interest in something without checking for Sabrina's approval. We should do more of this with her.
I think we can call this round of Mumiscience a resounding success. We made real progress ourselves, and greatly cheered her up in the process.

[x] Hmm. I suppose I'd be okay with that if you are, Mami? Though if that round goes as quickly as I expect it will, maybe we can shuffle the teams for the next go around?
-[x] We'll decide once we see how things play out. What kind of ruleset will we be using? Mami, Homura, thoughts? Defer to the veterans expertise.
--[x] If Homura brings up not wanting Sayaka to copy her power, and Mami objects, try and smooth it over. Use telepathy if necessary.
[x] Keep working on the Cannone di Picchio, with Homura's advice taken into account. Try out a scale model of a few loading mechanisms, both hand-held and from larger artillery, see which ones are easiest for you to handle.
-[x] Try integrating a loading mechanism into one of Mami's muskets, to see how your magics interact on a smaller scale. Note any issues or oddities and try to resolve them.
--[x] If all goes well, try it with Tiro Finale. Let Mami name the result.
---[x] If it's safe, have your chibi climb onto the cannon while you work on it. Invite Mami's chibi as well.
[x] When Sayaka arrives, greet her as if nothing unusual is going on. Refuse to acknowledge the existence of the chibis in the background.
-[x] Dismiss the various experiments (including, sadly, the chibis) and set up the training.
] Make an entire Yamato-class three-gun turret, complete with 46cm guns and chibi crew.
