Main Story

Kirin & GV convos

Lumen's "Revival"

Kirin: Lumen was a popular virtual idol even before I was even born, right? I bet no one would have guessed that she was a Septima.

GV: Lumen's identity was top secret. Only a few of Sumeragi's top brass knew the truth. We can thank them for allowing Lumen here to operate as a "reboot" of the original one.

Lumen: [Don't you mean, "The long-awaited remodel, "Lumen Ver 2.0?"]

Kirin: Either way, it's great having you around. The Bureau of Dragon Saviors is a brand-new department here, and we're very combat-focused. A cute mascot like Lumen goes a long way to soften opposition to us from inside and out.

Lumen: [A "cute mascot?" I'm not just a pretty face, you know?] [Just who do you think is helping you search for signals of new Primal Dragons?] [And who else is going to show up in battle when you're totally out of HP and your Fetters are about to wear off?] [Also, who keeps GV's rampage...mostly...under control? That's all thanks to my power.]

Kirin: But it's not like you can always do that, right? Isn't it random?

Lumen: [B-but I... ...*pout*...]

GV: Don't take it too hard, Lumen. When I awaken with your power, I always feel stronger than ever. I don't know where I'd be without you.

Kirin: Well, that power is pretty close to a rampaging Primal Dragon, so we'd better not rely on it if we can help it.

Lumen: [Well, when you put it that way... I guess I'll go work on a new theme song for the Dragon Saviors...]

Primal Dragons

GV: Primal Dragons are being awakened by Dragon Radiation... It's because of me that yet another battle is happening...

Kirin: "In the near future, Adepts will wipe out humanity." According to Sumeragi's files, the lead researcher on the "Septima Research Project" apparently said this decades ago. Maybe that researcher knew something we didn't...that Adepts would one day become Primal Dragons. If that's true, this phenomenon was going to occur anyway...with or without you. You're only at the center of it all because of some dumb bad luck. You got that? Either way, don't stress yourself out over it. We need you for this job because of what you can do, Gunvolt.

GV: Kirin...

Kirin: But ya know, looking at you now, I guess all you can do is "sit" and "shake," huh?

GV: Sheesh. Just who's fault is that again...?

Shadow Yakumo

GV: What kind of organization is that "Shadow Yakumo" you used to work for, Kirin?

Kirin: Not "used to," I still work for them. Even now I'm a Battle Priestess of Shadow Yakumo. I haven't left. I've simply been dispatched to Sumeragi. Think of it like being a temp worker.

(...So that's how it is. She seems to be proud of her position in this Shadow Yakumo organization.)

Kirin: Hmm... How should I put this...? You know those Glaives that were keeping you sealed, and the barriers that protect the country...? Controlling and overseeing those spiritual or supernatural things and preventing their misuse is Shadow Yakumo's duty. If you go waaay back, I hear Shadow Yakumo has the same origins as Sumeragi. That was ages ago, though. Nowadays, they're basically like business partners.

GV: They must have a long history, then... Which makes it all the more surprising I've never heard of them until now.

Kirin: ...The "Shadow" in the name is there for a reason. Normally, I would never be operating out in the open like this. That should tell you how serious the situation is. This is a national...no, worldwide emergency.

GV and Sumeragi

Kirin: Hey Gunvolt...after fighting head-to-head with Sumeragi and coming away victorious, how does it feel to work for them?

GV: Sumeragi once went as far as to perform human experiments in their Adept research... They are a vile organization, and my feelings there have not changed. However... It's thanks to them we still have the peace I fought for.

Kirin: Whoa, that's wild... You always struck me as a "humanity must be free at any cost" kind of guy. I even heard that you used to be a terrorist.

GV: Don't get me wrong...there are things that Sumeragi has done that I will never be able to forgive. But they did have their reasons for their actions. Using overwhelming power to force others to bend to your will only creates more friction in the end, though. No matter the reason, I'm a part of Sumeragi for now. This time, I'll try to change the organization from the inside... The old me would never be able to do that...

Kirin: It's nice to have a goal and all, but we have to do something about the problem right in front of us, first. You know, those Primal Dragons?

GV: I'm well aware.

GV's Records

GV: (Kirin seems to be having a tough time with her office PC. Even her clothes seem to be at odds with it…) Hey, Kirin. Working on some reports?

Kirin: Hm? Oh, hey Gunvolt. I was actually checking out your records in Sumeragi’s database.

GV: My records…? What do you need those for?

Kirin: Uhhh… No reason. Just curious!

GV: …Get back to work. We hardly have enough people here as it is.

Kirin: Come on, you don’t need to tell me that. Besides, it’s part of my job with Shadow Yakumo to know about the targets I’m supposed to be observing. By the way… I couldn’t help but notice how young you look in all the photos here… Just how old are you, anyway?

GV: I haven’t counted since I stopped aging, so I honestly don’t remember.

Kirin: Interesting... So you really did stop aging.

GV: (It’s not like I wanted to, but so much has happened to my body at this point, like the Muse’s Anthem and the AB Spirits… Though if I think back, it may have been a precursor to becoming a Primal Dragon…) It’s even harder to tell how old I am now though, considering this is how I look.

Kirin: Well hey, guess everything worked out fine!

GV: Fine? This is fine…?

Phone Charger Gunvolt

Kirin: Crap, I forgot my charger… Hey, Gunvolt. Can you charge my phone with your Septima?

GV: I guess I could, but… For someone who’s seen my Primal Dragon form, I feel like you have a lot of faith in me.

Kirin: I also have a lot of faith in my Septima. Radiant Fetters’ seal is unbreakable. Anyway, can you charge my phone or not?

GV: …I think I'll pass. I wouldn’t want to break your phone. I don’t have as much precise control over my power as I used to. It could be because of the seal, or maybe it’s this body…

Kirin: Okay then. “Shake!”

GV: Umm…?

Kirin: You won’t charge my phone, you won’t shake… How about ”sit”? Can you “sit”?

GV: Geez. You’re something else…

Mission Ranks

Lumen: [Have you two been paying attention to the rank you get when you clear a mission?] [There's no special reward or anything... But I'd love to see you get an "S++" sometime. That's the highest rank you can get.]

Kirin: Oh, that rank? If I remember right, we need lots of praise... I mean, Kudos points to get a high rank. Something like...getting a bunch of Kudos by defeating multiple enemies without touching the ground, right?

GV: There are some other ways of earning extra Kudos, like quickly defeating multiple enemies, but the way you mentioned is the most efficient. But you need to be careful. If an enemy hits you, you'll get a "Kudos Lock" penalty, which prevents you from gaining Kudos for a while.

Kirin: I need to be careful? It's not just me out there, you know? It could happen to you, too!

GV: About that... Unfortunately, we won't earn many Kudos when I defeat enemies. Sorry...

Kirin: Oh, that's right... When you're unleashed from my Fetters, anyone would recognize you as the "world's strongest Adept," Gunvolt. It's only natural we wouldn't earn any praise by relying on you to fight...

Somebody like Kirin

GV: Kirin, you said you’re a Battle Priestess for Shadow Yakumo, didn’t you?

Kirin: Yeah, I did... What about it?

GV: Oh, I was just thinking about how you fight. Your sword and talismans remind me of someone I fought with ages ago, so I thought you might have the same style.

Kirin: A sword and talismans…? You’ve been fighting for so long, it would probably be more weird if you never met someone like that. I’m pretty sure it’s not someone from Shadow Yakumo, though. I’ve never seen records of anyone else like that. Besides, my fighting style is almost entirely my own, so it’s just gotta be a crazy coincidence.

GV: I see… They were dressed up like a samurai, so I just thought you might know them…

Kirin: I bet that was just a guy in samurai cosplay. Just what kind of organization do you think Shadow Yakumo is?

GV: …One with “Battle Priestesses”?

Kirin: You can go to any shrine and find a priestess. Do you know any samurai? In this day and age?

GV: I can’t say I do…

Kirin: Thought so.

GV: (But what about the “battle” part…?)

Glaives

Kirin: The Sumeragi Futures Institute of Technology... I can't believe they wasted so many Glaives in there. Sumeragi has no damn clue how much blood, sweat, and tears it takes to make even one of those swords...

GV: Oh yeah, your "Shadow Yakumo" group is responsible for managing the Glaives, right? A sword capable of isolating Septimosomes from an Adept and suppressing their power... That's what those Glaives are capable of. Thanks to that, I have no memory of my time sealed away. It's like I was having surgery for a looong time...

Kirin: You're talking about the old style of Glaives. If that's what they were using... Yikes. Those things are super expensive. We only use the old ones for rituals these days. If that's all you know about them, you really are an old man, huh?

GV: You should be more sensitive about people's age... Okay fine, what kind of Glaives do you use these days?

Kirin: Today's model doesn't need to isolate Septimosomes anymore. It can suppress Septimas all on its own, so it's way more effective and cheaper that way. ...If Sumeragi really was wasting resources like that, Shadow Yakumo is gonna give them an earful...

GV: So even a Battle Priestess has to think about the bottom line...

After BB joins

GV's transformation

BB: Ya know, even though we're both Primal Dragons, how come I didn't get a cute transformation like Gunvolt did?

GV: You've got a point. ...I wonder why.

Kirin: There's still a lot we don't know about Primal Dragons. The research team hasn't gotten around to researching "Dogvolt" yet, either. But something else caused GV's transformation. He's the ruler of Primal Dragons, after all. That might have something to do with it.

BB: I've gotta admit, at first, I thought Gunvolt was a doggo with a Septima that turned him into a guy...

Kirin: ...But he is, though.

BB: Whaaa?! You for real?!

GV: Don't fall for it. Kirin, knock it off with the weird jokes.

Geist

BB: My Septima is called "Geist." I can use it to give form to the energy of souls.

Kirin: You act like such an upbeat guy, but your Septima's actually pretty grim. Are you actually all dark and gloomy on the inside?

BB: WAPOW! Right in my weak point...for massive damage! W-well... When I was a l'il guy, I was more of the loner type...

GV: Since you're a priestess, Kirin, aren't souls and ghosts your territory?

Kirin: I can see them perfectly fine. I just can't use them like BB does. The souls that BB is talking about aren't the souls of the dead, anyway.

BB: Wait, really? Then...what the heck are they?

Kirin: What do you mean...? It's a Septima.

BB: Septima... Well, what the heck's a Septima...?

Kirin: If you can figure that out, you can make the world a better place.

GV's Spiritual Friend

GV: So BB's Septima can control spirits... Someone I worked alongside for many years had a strong connection to spirits.

BB: Oh yeah? Someone with the same Septima as me?

GV: Nah, she had a connection with spirits, but she wasn't an Adept...just a normal human. She was unrelated to all the fighting...and was able to give me a sense of normalcy. That ordinary, everyday life saved me more than anything.

BB: You sly dog. You been talking about your girlfriend this whole time?

GV: ...Those days are long gone. After I became a Primal Dragon, I hurt her once by accident... I decided then and there to leave her side for good.

BB: H-huh... Dang... I was just looking for a chill convo, but that's some real heavy stuff, man...

BB's "speech"

GV: Oh, BB, I've been meaning to ask you... It's about the strange vocabulary you use all the time...

BB: Wazzat? I'm always being 100% on the level, nothing strange about my flow dude. Are we not copacetic here?

GV: Uhhh... That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Kirin: Are you doing that on purpose...? It's pretty crazy.

BB: Oh, when you say "crazy," do you mean "good-crazy" or "bad-crazy"? I think you need to be more clear when you talk to people, Kirin.

Kirin: ...Are you really not doing this on purpose?

BB: On purpose? Doing what on purpose?

Model Kit Building 1

GV: (After I finished lunch, I came back to the office to find BB building a plastic model.)

GV: Whatcha got there?

BB: Oh, remember that department that got axed a while back? I raided their warehouse and found a bunch of these, so I thought I'd give it the ol' college try... But it's a total bust. I'm just not cut out for this kind of plain-Jane work.

GV: Let's see here... "Michi Mark 17 Type-C Mantis"... A model tank, huh. "A full reproduction complete with jumping action." Oh geez, I remember that. If it's what I'm thinking of, I fought one a long time ago.

BB: Your war stories really come outta left field, man. You're like straight outta the history books. You mind if I call you "Gramps"?

GV: Please don't treat me like an old man...

Kirin: Grampvolt... Hehe...

GV: Kirin, did you say something?

Kirin: I dunno. Are you hearing things again?

Geist 2

Lumen: [A Septima that gives form to the energy of souls...]

BB: Oh? you takin' an interest in my Septima?

Lumen: [I wouldn't go that far, but I was thinking about how GV's Image Pulses are similar to your Septima.]

BB: Oh, word. Those are the things where he, uh...gives form to his memories, right? My geists could never match the looks of a hottie like you though, Lumen. They definitely ain't gonna start any deep conversations, either.

Lumen: [You know, your Septima was kind of scary at first... But now I think they're actually pretty cute.]

BB: Wha--? You know how to butter my biscuit!

Lumen: [Maybe if we practice together, they could join in during the chorus to one of my songs...]

BB: You wanna use my geists to make a choir of the dead?! That's so dang epic!

GV: What in the world are you talking about...?

Advertising

Lumen: [Hey Kirin, I have a great idea! Let's make a commercial for the Dragon Saviors!]

GV: (Lumen suddenly started talking to Kirin after seeing something on BB's monitor.)

Kirin: A commercial? Well, it might help us spread word of the Bureau's work to the world.

BB: Whoa, that sounds dope! I bet we could get Sumeragi's Department of Message Propagation to help us make it!

Lumen: [We could get our message out there and recruit new members at the same time!♪]

Kirin: Hmm... We might have some trouble making it considering our current staff...

GV: Good point... Kirin needs to stay out of public view, and I'm not the best representative...plus I look like this.

Kirin: And BB is BB.

BB: Not cool...

Kirin: If we're gonna do this, we could have Lumen sing and put text over it, I guess?

Lumen: [Ehh... I guess I was a bit hasty...]

After Shiron joins

Dog Lover

Shiron: Umm... Gunvolt... Do you have a minute?

GV: Sure, what's up?

Shiron: Can I just... give you a little hug?

GV: Wha-?!

Shiron: Okay, here I go... Whoooa! So fluffy!! Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?? You know Gunvolt, I bet if you were a Shiba Inu you'd be purple.

GV: Come on, enough with the petting. Also, wait for my permission before you hug me.

Shiron: Oh, I'm so sorry... I got carried away.

GV: Please think--

Kirin: ...I totally get it, Shiron!

GV: Not you too, Kirin. And just for the record... There's no such thing as a purple shiba, okay?

Lumen: [I feel like I've heard that somewhere before...]

Work Efficiency

Kirin: The office work has gotten sooo much easier with you around, Shiron. It's like you're doing the work of ten whole employees!

Shiron: I think that's a bit much, but... Hell yeah. Thanks for the compliment.

Kirin: Gunvolt is kinda useless with office work... Though I think that's pretty obvious just by looking at him...

Gunvolt: I tired to help as much as I can using voice recognition software, but it takes forever.

Kirin: And BB is utter garbage with numbers.

BB: Dang... That's cold, Kirin...

Kirin: I swear, you just can't count on guys...

Shiron: U-um I'm a guy too, you know? How did you get anything done before I got here, anyway? You weren't... doing this solo, right Kirin?

Kirin: When things were really rough,we borrowed staff from other departments. We're a new section with hardly any clout, so it was tough to actually to get anyone to actually come help.

Shiron: Yeesh! That must have been really tough.

Chocolate

GV: (Shiron and Kirin are eating snacks in the break room. Apparently Shiron brought in some goodies to share.)

Kirin: *munch* This chocolate is sooo good!

Shiron: That one's totally my favorite. I knew you'd like it!

Kirin: *munch munch* ...Oh. GV, you can't have any.

GV: Huh...? Why not?

Kirin: Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. I learned that when I was a kid.

Shiron: Oh, really? I guess that means none for you, GV... *munch munch*

GV: ...

BB: How 'bout me?

Kirin: If GV can't have any, you can't either.

BB: You're puttin' me in the same boat as Dogvolt!?

Lumen: [I bet Kirin just wants more for herself.]

Kirin: ...No dinner for you either, GV.

GV: Wha--?!

Video Games

Shiron: GV, do you ever play video games?

GV: Games, huh? I played a few before joining Sumeragi. It's been a long time, though. I don't even know what hardware is available these days.

Shiron: Wanna give something new a try, then? You seem like you'd be good at games that need quick reflexes!

GV: You're probably right about that. ...Maybe even to a shockingly unfair level. But I can't imagine there's a lot of games I can play when I'm like this...

Shiron: Uhh... Maybe whack-a-mole...?

Kirin: ...Totally. You can hold the hammer in your mouth... Hahaha.

GV: I definitely don't want to play now...

Entertainment

Shiron: Hey, Kirin! Umm...

Kirin: Yeah?

Shiron: Do you ever go out and do stuff? Like go to malls, arcades, or even go out to eat?

Kirin: Hmm, I can't say that I do. It's super empty where I live and my duties keep me busy all the time.

Shiron: Yikes, that sounds rough... Do you get to have any fun...?

Kirin: ...What do you think, GV?

GV: ...Why are you asking me? Well...you're a bit of a workaholic, Kirin. You should do something to relieve some stress.

Kirin: You think so? Oh, I have an idea. I'll go get a leash and take GV for a walk.

Shiron: Ooh, that sounds like a super fun idea! Can I come too?

GV: I'm still human... But if you think it'll help you relieve some stress, I don't mind...

Kirin: Hahaha... I'm just joking! You're so serious.

Shiron: Oh, it was just a joke... (Maybe Kirin lets off stress by teasing GV...?)

Card Game

Shiron: Hey Kirin! Would you be willing to go a few rounds with me?

Kirin: Huh...?

GV: (Shiron takes some playing cards out of his bag and shows them to Kirin.)

Kirin: Ah, now I get it... Are you sure you wanna square off against me?

Shiron: Hell yeah I'm sure!

Kirin: Well, if you insist... Just for a little bit, okay?

Shiron: Yaaay!

GV: (A short while later, a strained smile came across Shiron's face...)

Shiron: K-Kirin, are you secretly a card game genius? I can't even catch a glimpse of winning here...

Kirin: Yeah, it always ends up like this.

GV: She's got foresight and intuition in spades.

Kirin: I've literally never lost at these sorts of games before. Besides, it would be rude to hold back against Shiron. But hey, at least we managed to blow off some steam!

Shiron: Ugh...I'm glad we could play, but losing that badly stings...

Curse of the Moon 2

GV: (Shiron seems to be in high spirits today. He's really tearing through his work.)

GV: Something got you in a good mood, Shiron?

Shiron: Yeah! A game I was really looking forward to finally came out today!

GV: Oh yeah? What kind of game is it?

Shiron: It's an action game where you play as a cute little corgi who pilots a robot that has to take on demons in a castle! You can even play together with friends!

GV: A dog in a robot...? Can that dog control electricity like me...?

Shiron: Oh, the robot doesn't run on electricity... But does that mean you can do that too, GV?!

GV: With Sumeragi's technology, we might be able to get a robot custom built just for me...

After Apollo joins

Model Kit Building 2

BB: Check it out! They were just givin' 'em out in another department, so I brought back a model tank!

Kirin: Again? Didn't you already get one of those and give up on building it halfway through?

BB: Oh yea, guess I did. But Apollo ended up building it. We got it set up right over there.

GV: (There was a shiny gold plastic model on display in the spot BB pointed to.)

Kirin: It looks totally different from the last time I saw it. I thought that tank was supposed to be green.

Apollo: There's no art in simply assembling a model. I always put my own spin on them. That one is part of a refresh of the Mantis line of tanks, the Mantis Delta line. It was planned but never made it to prototype. It has a mirror finish to improve its resistance to beam weapons. Quite a quality piece, if I do say so myself.

Kirin: Hmmm... I didn't have you pegged as a model guy...

BB: Anywho, here's what I got for ya this time.

Apollo: Ah, a "Spyder." It seems to be a prototype from the 10th generation that never made it to production. Quite a niche model you have here.

GV: The 10th generation... That takes me back. I fought one of those as well.

Apollo: Is that so? I didn't know it was ever deployed in the field. I expected nothing less from you, Gunvolt. You're a living legend...

Kirin: Heheh... Yeah, Gramps... Grampvolt...

GV: Please stop that...

Pendulum

GV: Your "Pendulum" Septima seems quite powerful, Apollo.

Apollo: ...That's right. I suppose that since we battled once before, you have some understanding of my ability.

GV: Sorry, should I have not said anything?

GV: (These days there are plenty of people who have a strong sense of privacy and want to keep their Septimas a secret. It can be a touchy subject sometimes. There's an unspoken rule among these people to never pry into another's Septima.)

Apollo: No... It's fine. I just have a tendency to be rather secretive. It's an old habit of mine. I fully intended to leave that lifestyle behind, but...

GV: ...?

Apollo: Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. Anyway, my Pendulum allows me to alter the vectors of objects I come into contact with. It may be powerful in combat, but it's admittedly not very useful in everyday life. The best it could do is deflect a stray bullet once in a while.

GV: ...? Is that...something that happens in everyday life...?

GV: (Apollo is a real mystery...and that's coming from me...)

Proofreading

Apollo: Kirin, is everything ready for tomorrow's report?

GV: (Since the Bureau of Dragon Saviors is a department within the Sumeragi Group, we still have to submit reports to the higher ups like everyone else.)

Kirin: Yep, and it's flawless. Wanna take a look?

GV: (Kirin's turning her monitor so Apollo can see.)

Apollo: Hmm, this part here... I'm afraid it may need some revisions.

Kirin: Huh?! Did I mess up?!

GV: All the necessary items are there, it's just a little hard to look at...

Apollo: Let me take a crack at it. I have a knack for putting these together.

Kirin: ...I guess I should leave the presentation up to you too, huh?

Apollo: Sorry, but I still need you to take care of that part. I'm not cut out for public speaking...

Coffee

Apollo: Hmm? What's the matter, GV? Something wrong with the vending machine?

GV: Oh, hey Apollo. I couldn't drink coffee the entire time I was sealed away by the Glaives, and now I have a craving.

Apollo: I see... ...I have some quality beans at my place. How would you like to come over for a cup some time?

GV: Wow, so you brew it yourself?

Apollo: Right. It brings up some old memories, so I haven't done it much lately. But it's still nice to share a cup with friends.

GV: O-oh? I guess I'll stop by with Kirin if we're in the area.

Cyber Security

Apollo: ...Kirin, you're not good with PCs, are you?

Kirin: Yeah... But I'm totally fine when it's a normal terminal!

GV: It's not that big of a deal...

Apollo: Oh, that's not really what I meant. It's just that you have your password written down on a note stuck to your desk...

Lumen: [Oh, you're right. And it's just "Kirin03"...]

Kirin: Uggghh!! It's that stupid server! It makes me change my password all the time...!

Apollo: Which is in accordance with Sumeragi's information security policy. Next time, at least write it in a notebook.

Kirin: Fiiine...

Instrumental Intuition

Lumen: [Did you by chance ever play an instrument, Apollo?]

Apollo: Huh...? Why the sudden interest?

Lumen: [I'm writing a new song and I want some back up instrumentals𝅘𝅥𝅮 You give me the vibe of someone who knows how to play an instrument!]

Apollo: ...Well, I suppose I've played a few in my time. Can you really tell just from looking at me?

Lumen: [I knew it!]

Kirin: Hmm... Yeah, you do give off that impression now that I think about it.

Apollo: And Kirin, you look like you'd have some experience with a shamisen.

Kirin: Heh, too bad! Battle Priestesses don't play instruments!

Apollo: Oh, so you can't play any?

Lumen: [You get a little sloppy sometimes, Kirin. Instruments may not be your strong suit after all.]

Kirin: H-hey! I never said I totally can't play!

Kirin's Sword

Apollo: About that sword of yours, Kirin...

Kirin: What about it...? I'm not giving it to you, okay?

Apollo: The way the blade is built into the staff makes it the definition of a concealed weapon.

Kirin: ...And? What of it?

Apollo: I was only thinking that it must be made of quality steel. It shows no sign of breaking even after being swung around so much. It seems to be incredibly sharp, too... This must be the work of a master swordsmith. Is there a smith's inscription on it?

Kirin: You're right about it being strong, but I have no idea about how sharp it is. I'm always just hacking and slashing as hard as I can.

Apollo: ...

GV: Kirin is the real impressive one here...

After Cayman joins

School

Kirin: Cayman, looking at how you dress, I'm guessing you're still a student?

Cayman: Nah, I just simply dress as any true man should. I haven't been to school in a while. My muscles would just whither away in a place like that.

Kirin: ......Uh huh.

Cayman: What about you, Kirin? You still go to school?

Kirin: I've already finished my schooling at essentially a high school level. You could say I skipped a few grades. Shadow Yakumo is an organization that supports the country from the...shadows. They have some extralegal systems in place.

Cayman: Extra...legal...? That sounds almost as powerful as my muscles...

Kirin: ...Actually, even more powerful.

Cayman: Excellent... I will train even harder so my muscles can get extra-extralegal!

Kirin: ...

GV Pushups

Cayman: Hmph! Hmph!

GV: ...

BB: Huh? What are ya up to, Cayman?

Cayman: Hm? I think it should be obvious...

GV: (...Cayman said he wanted me to stand on his back while he does pushups. Something about needing to "overload for big gains.")

BB: And you're just vibing with this, GV?

GV: ...No, not really.

Kirin: I gave the OK for this one. I thought it would be funny...and it totally is. Heh heh...

Cayman: That's right... Hmph! Hmph!

BB: ...Buncha hard workers up in here.

Boar Hunt

Kirin: That's uhh...a big catch, huh.

GV: (Cayman's carrying a wild boar that looks about 6 feet long... right through the entire office as the other Sumeragi employees stare at him)

Cayman: Good eye, Kirin! As you can see, there's enough for everyone!

GV: Where did you get a boar that big...?

Cayman: I found him while I was training under a waterfall in the mountains. I never miss the opportunity for a Duel!

Kirin: You'll "Duel" just about anything, won't you...? But hey, looks like it was a good match, though.

Cayman: The bigger the opponent, the hotter my muscles get!

GV: ...I'm very glad for you, but could you take that thing somewhere else? It's kinda hard to get work done with it around...

Chef Cayman

GV: (A chime goes off throughout the office at noon.)

Kirin: Phew... Looks like it's time to eat. Cayman, what do you usually do for lunch?

Cayman: Me? I bring my lunch.

Kirin: Huh, that's a bit surprising. Does someone make it for you?

Cayman: You're looking at him. Come on, it's time to eat!

GV: (Cayman opens his lunch box to reveal an extravagant array of Japanese cuisine. ...I have to admit it looks delicious.)

Kirin: Whaaat?! You seriously made all that?!

Cayman: This is just something I whipped up quickly. I can't let anything eat into my workout time!

GV: I never would have guessed you were a chef. You could start your own restaurant with skills like that.

Kirin: ...Ya know, we weren't even competing and yet I feel like I just lost big time...

Office Workout

GV: (Cayman is using his chair to hold a strange pose...)

Kirin: What in the world are you doing?

Cayman: Hm...? I'm doing a chair workout, obviously.

Kirin: ...Please don't say that like it's a normal thing people do in the office.

Cayman: Our muscles will wither away just sitting in these chairs all day. Isn't it better to prepare our bodies for glorious combat?

Kirin: Well, in your case, it's probably better than messing around with data...

GV: Now now...The office lounge is pretty spacious. Wouldn't you be better off training in there?

Cayman: Hm, you have a point... Alright GV, let's go and feel the burn together!

GV: Wha--?!

Kirin: Oh, umm... See you later, boys.

GV: Kirin, don't just stand there! Help me!!

Training BB

Cayman: Okay BB, it's time for your training!

BB: I already finished my 9-to-5! What gives?!

Cayman: No complaining! You're in major need of some guts and I'm gonna make sure you get 'em!

GV: (Cayman's got BB in some kind of grappling hold so he can't run away...)

BB: Siigh... ...By the way, what's the trainin' gonna be?

Cayman: When you need more guts, nothing beats training under a roaring mountain waterfall! I'll start you off with the beginner's 2-week course!

BB: Noooo!! Boss, ya gotta do somethin'!!

Kirin: Just bring him back when we need him, ok?

Cayman: Got it.

GV: Poor guy...

Fish

GV: (There's a ruckus on the Dragon Saviors' floor... It also smells like fish for some reason...?)

Kirin: Looks like another fine catch today...

GV: (...There's a giant swordfish laid out in the middle of the office.)

Cayman: Indeed. I happened to be at the beach the other day, so I figured I would go fishin'! This guy put up quite the fight... But thanks to him, it's sashimi for everyone!

GV: Kirin, you're pretty good with a sword. Can you prepare a fish?

Kirin: Huh...?! I guess I could cut off the head, at least...

Cayman: So you can trim a fish? Huh, I'm impressed, Kirin.

Kirin: UGH! I'm a Battle Priestess, not some fishmonger!!

After all Dragon Saviors have been recruited

September Series

GV: (Everyone's gathered around Shiron's desk... Is he showing off his gaming skills again?

GV: Shiron, what's going on?

Shiron: Oh, hey GV! Sumeragi's game development division sent over a beta code for their new MMO!

GV: Sumeragi's making an MMO...?

Shiron: It's part of an ongoing series, and this one's called "September Universe Tri-Age Spirits: Prologue of Reminiscence IV (Working Title)." This one is about a tribe of elves!

Lumen: [So it's a whole series...? Ooh! This character is super cute♪]

GV: (September... I've heard of the series, but I don't remember the names being so long...)

Wall Climbing

GV: You know, Cayman, I've never seen you in the elevator. How do you get to the office?

Kirin: Huh...? What's this about?

Cayman: Hm? I climb, of course.

Kirin: You...climb? Like, the outside of the building?

Cayman: It gets cold in the winter, but nothing I can't handle! All the better for building muscle!

GV: Are you treating the building like a climbing gym? Just what floor do you think this is?

Kirin: It's pretty impressive you can do that with so few places to grab.

Cayman: You two can scale completely vertical walls, right? Without even breaking a sweat, at that. Are you trying to tell me you can't climb up this building?

Kirin: Hmm, you have a point there. Fine...challenge accepted. Shadow Yakumo's Battle Priestess Kirin will climb up this building in record time!

GV: ...Kirin, you get caught up way too easily. Also, Cayman...please use the elevator.

He can talk normally?!

Brrrrrring... Brrrrrring...

GV: (The communication terminal in the Dragon Saviors' office is ringing...)

Kirin: Sorry, I'm kinda busy right now. Could you pick that up, BB?

BB: Aye aye, sir! It's my time to shine!

GV: (!! If BB answers the way he normally talks, he'll damage the Bureau's image!)

Kirin: N-nevermind, BB! I can get it after--!

BB: Hello, this is the Sumeragi Group's Bureau of Dragon Saviors customer support speaking. How may I help you?

Kirin: Huh...?

BB: Oh, in that case I'm afraid you dialed the wrong extension. No, it's no problem. Happy to help!

Beep.

BB: Dang... It was just some dude who fat-fingered the number.

Kirin: So... You CAN talk like a normal person...?

BB: ...?

Interior Creators

Apollo: Looks like there's a delivery for you, Kirin...

Kirin: Oh, just leave it on my desk.

Apollo: It's a package from... Interior Creators...? What kind of company is that?

GV: (Apollo pulled out his phone and began to search the company name.)

Kirin: Oh, yeah, that's just one of Shadow Yakumo's shell companies. It's probably just a fresh supply of talismans.

Apollo: I see... How interesting. It's quite rare for a shell company to have a physical location like this.

Kirin: ...Just fair warning, I wouldn't look too deep into it if I were you. They can see your search history, you know? One wrong move and they can erase your existance down to your birth certificate.

Apollo: Urk... Thanks for the warning.

Battle Support

Shiron: So GV, I know you support Kirin in battle, but what exactly do you do?

GV: My main job is to ensure that she can use her Arc Chain. After Kirin locks onto something, I warp her to the target with my Azure Striker.

Shiron: Wowza! You two must be perfectly in sync! I was here thinking that you'd be her footstool to help her reach high places, or let her ride on your back while you fly.

Kirin: Wouldn't that be considered animal cruelty...?

GV: I'm not an animal.

Shiron: Oh... I thought you might turn into a motorcycle or maybe even a spaceship. I really got my hopes up...

Kirin: What exactly do you think dogs do, Shiron...?

GV: I told you I'm not a dog!

Cup Noodles

GV: (We've been out all day working on subjugating rampaging Adepts. Even BB is working overtime today.)

BB: It's time for fourth meal, baby! What's on deck for tonight, you ask? Bam! A cup of instant fried noodles!

Kirin: Is that really something you need to announce to everyone...?

BB: I have a question for you guys. When exactly do the noodles get fried? I'm seriously stumped!

Kirin: They're just flavored like fried noodles. They don't actually get fried at any point... I thought that was obvious.

BB: What?! That's bonkers!!

Lumen: [You're kidding...!!]

GV: ...

Cayman's Income

Kirin: Cayman, from what I can tell, all you do is work out. How do you make a living?

Cayman: ...Money, huh? To be honest, I have no idea.

Kirin: You have no idea...? How do you not know?

Cayman: I actually got a crazy amount saved up. Somebody sends money to my account every month, even though I don't remember askin' for it. I could do just fine on my own, but it seems somebody insists on butting into my business. Still, I don't wanna let it go to waste, so I just use it to keep the lights on.

GV: (...Cayman's family must be well off, huh.)

Missing Inventory

Apollo: Hmm...I knew it, we're missing one.

GV: What's going on?

Apollo: I was doing inventory on our equipment and the number didn't match our records. Either the log is wrong, or someone forgot to return an item.

Kirin: I bet it's BB.

GV: Hey, let's give BB the benefit of the doubt...

Apollo: Indeed. Someone from another department may have even walked off with it. I'll just put in a new order for now. But if it was BB... He'll be getting some educational guidance.

Kirin: Make sure it's super strict!

GV: Please keep it reasonable...

Apollo's Training

Cayman: By the way, Apollo...

Apollo: What's the matter?

Cayman: How about you and I train together?

Apollo: I have other matters to attend to. ...I'm surprised you noticed I work out, though.

Cayman: Looking at you, it's pretty obvious.

Apollo: You think so...? I figure, everything you do starts with yourself. Sometimes it's better to train your body, and other times your mind.

Cayman: Hmm... I'll leave those "other times" to you. I don't think I'm cut out for thinking.

Apollo: That in itself is wisdom, I suppose. I know I can count on you when the time comes, Cayman.

Cayman: You bet!

Fighting Game

GV: (Shiron and Apollo are playing a fighting game together...and it seems like a close match.)

Shiron: Dang, Apollo! You've really been putting some hours in, haven't you?!

Apollo: I don't need to answer that... Got you!

Shiron: No waaay!!

GV: (...A few minutes later, Shiron's character stands victorious after a narrow win.)

Kirin: That was a good fight... Though I honestly have no idea what happened.

GV: It looked like Shiron read Apollo's movements to come from behind at the last moment. I've seen Shiron play against others around the company, but I've never seen anyone else put up such a tough fight.

Shiron: Phew, that was sooo close! How did you get so good at this, Apollo?!

Apollo: I once dabbled in such games to prepare for a mission. Still, I'm not surprised to have lost against a proper professional.

Shiron: It's been so long since I've had a close match! Hell yeah! That was so much fun! Let's play again sometime, Apollo!

Apollo: Hmm... Okay, if I have some free time.

BB: ...Wait, what mission?

Manly Man

Shiron: Sensei! Geez Sensei, you're so cool!

Cayman: What's gotten into you all of a sudden? "Sensei"...?

Shiron: Hell yeah! I wanna be a manly man just like you! That style, that manliness... Sensei, you're exactly the man I strive to be! Please...let me call you Sensei!

Cayman: You can call me whatever you want, but don't be mistaken. I'm still in training, too!

Shiron: Yaaay! Thank you...Sensei! Ehehe...

Cayman: ...If he's gonna call me Sensei, I better start actin' like one. Now...where to begin if we're gonna turn Shiron into manly man...?

Unreported Outings

Apollo: Cayman, do you know where Kirin and GV are?

Cayman: They got a request from the Peacekeepers a little while ago. Sounds like they're up against an Adept who I would be a bad match for.

Apollo: You're kidding... I thought I told everyone they need to report any outings to the entire bureau.

Cayman: There's no helping some folks! Hahahaha!

Apollo: You're always disappearing to go train somewhere too, you know... You need to pull more weight around here.

Cayman: Hmm... I wanted to, but my weights set off the alarms in the elevator.

Apollo: ...On second thought, forget I said anything.

Detecting Dragon Radiation

Apollo: Shiron, the Dragon Radiation data from these coordinates...

Shiron: Oh, you're right... They've exceeded the nominal value. Hold on a sec...

GV: (Hearing just that was enough to get Shiron to pull up the terrain data and an atmospheric diagram in an instant. Shiron filters through the immense amount of data on his screen to find the right coordinates...)

Shiron: As of 2 hours and 13 minutes ago, measurements of Dragon Radiation at multiple points were elevated in packets moving through the atmosphere. When separating them out, it seems the individual sources are likely at nominal levels, so I don't think there's an issue...

Apollo: I see...

Shiron: However, when compared to the average, the general area does have elevated amounts of Radiation. It may be good to dispatch a survey team just in case. I'll make a report of the location. Do you need anything else? Should we procure any equipment or vehicles in preparation for dispatch?

Apollo: ...No, I think this is enough. Good work, Shiron. I'll leave the rest to Kirin's judgement.

Shiron: Hell yeah! Heheh... If you notice anything else, be sure to let me know! I'll get right on it!

Apollo: Of course. I'll be counting on you.

Jigsaw Puzzle

Cayman: Apollo, you have a minute?

Apollo: What is it?

BB: I got this bonkers jigsaw puzzle from another department, and it is one tough cookie.

Shiron: I thought it'd be nice if we could all work on it together!

Apollo: You're too much...but I suppose I can help. What about you, Kirin and GV?

Kirin: I still have work to do on today's report...

GV: ...I'll have to pass. Paws aren't exactly beneficial for doing puzzles.

Cayman: You two are no fun. Well, if you can spare some time, feel free to help! It'll be more fun together, even if you just watch!

Shiron: Let's think of a place to hang it when we're finished!

GV: (A jigsaw puzzle, huh... I did one with Quinn once...)

Kirin: Why the long face, GV?

GV: Oh, nothing. Just thinking about something. Don't worry about me.

Kirin: If you say so...

Epilogue ATEMS

Before Downtown Christmas

ZedΩ: Through the Djinn's power, I once witnessed a Primal Dragon attack on this city.

Sistina: Operating within the downtown area seems likely to attract a lot of unwanted attention. I'll have Serpentine provide support on this mission.

Layla and Azure Spirits

ZedΩ: Layla, what are you doing there?

ZedΩ: (Layla is the Adept responsible for the Djinn, ATEMS's own priestess of sorts. ATEMS' research team and my own best efforts have been unable to explain her power. ...But this silent girl, always at my side, has done more than contribute to ATEM's efforts--she silently supports my own spirit, as well.)

Layla: Mm.

ZedΩ: (Layla's looking at an Azure Spirit inside its container.)

ZedΩ: Oh, an Azure Spirit... They're said to be the residual Septimosomes left behind when an Adept dies... However, they normally don't manifest so clearly. Is it due to the power of the Azure Striker, or is there some other condition necessary...?

ZedΩ: (Thinking back to how things ended up, I don't believe Gunvolt is truly dead. And if he's still alive somewhere... What is this Azure Spirit, really?)

ZedΩ: ...Whatever the case, it's truly an interesting material.

Layla: Mm. *nod*

Hopefully Kirin Will Be Forgiving

ZedΩ: As we begin to recover the Azure Spirits, we may be discovered... I wonder if she'll be mad?

Layla: Hmph.

ZedΩ: The plan is for the sake of humanity...and Sumeragi in particular. I would hope that she would be forgiving of our actions.

Layla: ...Mm.

ZedΩ: Haha. I'm glad you feel that way, Layla.

ZedΩ: (It's still difficult to see what the future holds for the world in this state. We may have even made things worse. To guide the people to a better world, our cooperation with Sumeragi will be indispensable.)

ZedΩ: We can't leave this important work undone in any case. Let's stick this out until the end!

Layla: Mm!

Gunvolt and Moebius' Fate

ZedΩ: The Azure Spirits... Remnants of Gunvolt and Moebius. If we assume that Radiant Fetters was successful in sealing Astral Order away, then why did they fly off right at the end?

Luxia: Oh, that? It's because said seal made themselves become the primary target of Astral Order's influence. You didn't notice, ZedΩ?

ZedΩ: Let's see if I've got this right, Luxia. When you say they became the primary target, do you mean to say that their own fate was changed in that moment?

Luxia: Right. Faced with the inevitable ruin they would bring, they chose to avoid it by starting from scratch. Didn't you see it? They returned all the way back to when they and their power were born.

ZedΩ: If that's true, then Gunvolt's already...

Luxia: Even I can't tell what they're doing now, but I hope they've found somewhere peaceful to settle down.

ZedΩ: (Does that Battle Priestess know what really happened there...?)

Scouting Reports

Sistina: ...Layla, what is Luxia doing?

Layla: Mmm.

ZedΩ: (Layla gestures to call Luxia--the Djinn--to her side.)

Luxia: ...Oh? Nothing much, really.

Sistina: "Nothing much..."?! But you've got plenty to do! Watching the Dragon Saviors! Searching for Azure Spirits!

Luxia: Oh, all that... I didn't think it was worth mentioning.

Sistina: Mention! It! Anyway! If you're doing your job, make your reports right away!

Luxia: I mean, what's even there to report? Nothing's even changed. ZedΩ's already looking all over the place, and the Knights don't need my help, do they? There haven't been any changes with the Spirits, either.

Sistina: You're on my last never! Just say that from the beginning next time! And it's PRINCE ZedΩ, got it? PRINCE!

Luxia: Yeah, yeah, I'll try to remember. If I can.

Layla: Mm.

Serpentine's Divination

ZedΩ: Serpentine, were you able to get a result from the divination I requested?

Serpentine: Not quite. As usual, I was not able to get a clear vision. Predicting the future without sufficient prior information is a difficult process.

ZedΩ: Well then. We'll have to chart our course as we go if we can't on your divination. With the world in chaos like this, I suppose I can't expect things to be so simple.

Serpentine: I am deeply sorry I couldn't be of use...

Sistina: Serpentine...were you really doing the best you could?

Serpentine: I would never hold back like that! You shut your mouth.

Sistina: S-shut my mouth?!

ZedΩ: Now, now...

Geode

Layla: *stare*

Grazie: Hm...? Layla? Didja need somethin' from me?

Layla: Mm.

ZedΩ: (Layla reaches into her sleeve to pull out a bumpy rock. ...When did she even pick that up?)

Grazie: I-is that a geode you've got there...? It's right amazin' you were able to find somethin' like that!

ZedΩ: (A geode... I believe that refers to a rock that's hollow on the inside, with a mineral concentrated within. Depending on the contents, they can potentially be very valuable.)

Grazie: Wonder if there's some quartz inside...? ...Layla, would it be alright if I opened 'er up and had a look?

Layla: Mm. *nod*

Grazie: Yahoo! Jus' leave it to me and I'll open it right clean!

Aftermath of ATEMS' Attack

Grazie: I was jus' thinkin'... Even after all we did, they let us walk around Sumeragi no problem... Why is that...?

Serpentine: Under normal circumstances, we would have all been imprisoned or sent to Sumeragi's human experimentation labs.

Grazie: Yikes!!

Serpentine: Most likely ZedΩ and that priestess reached some sort of agreement after all was said and done, allowing us to escape punishment... I doubt they think very highly of us after everything. Heh heh...

Prado: Oh, I don't know about that... I've been getting fan letters every day since then!

ZedΩ: (Prado shows the others her personal terminal... There are flattering messages from dozens of Sumeragi staff.)

Serpentine: Uhh... Is everything okay with the employees here...?

Grazie: Haha... Prado is awful handsome, after all...

ZedΩ's Leftover Tea

ZedΩ: (Sistina is standing in front of a chair I had been sitting in with a serious expression on her face...)

Sistina: This tea that Prince ZedΩ left undrank... I-it shouldn't be a problem if I, his personal secretary, finished it off for him, would it...?

Layla: *stare*

Sistina: ...Huh?! W-what is it, Layla...? Do you have any right to stop me?!

Serpentine: No, but...it's still plenty fun to watch.

Layla: Mm. *nod*

Sistina: Wha--?! S-S-Serpentine! When did you get here?!

Fortune Telling

Layla: *stare*

Serpentine: Hm...?

ZedΩ: (Serpentine has some fortune-telling implements lying around, such as an armillary sphere and some ancient-looking manuscripts. Layla is staring intently in their direction.)

Layla: ...

Serpentine: W-what is it...? You can look, but don't touch. ...... But if you're bored... I suppose I could take a look into your future.

Layla: Mm!

Serpentine: ...Just this one time, though.

ZedΩ: (...They get along better than it would seem.)

Dwinkies

Grazie: Serpentine, what kind of food is that?

Serpentine: It's a traditional confectionary from this country. The outside is a sponge cake, but there's a paste made from cooked red beans stuffed within.

Grazie: Red beans... It looks pretty tasty though... You mind if I have one?

Serpentine: Go ahead. These "dorayaki" are far too sweet for me.

Grazie: Here goes nothin'... Mmm, it's so soft and delicious. The fillin' is sweet, it reminds me of Dwinkies from back home. Munch munch...

Layla: *stare*

Serpentine: ...You can take as many as you like as well.

Layla: Mm!

Towards the Heavens

Layla: *stare*

Prado: Oh? What's the matter, my lady? No, there's no need to answer that. You want me to hold you aloft, towards the heavens! ...Am I right?

Layla: Hmph. *shake shake*

Prado: ...Huh? Am I mistaken? There's no need to be shy around me. Come now!

Sistina: What are you doing, Prado? Our meeting was supposed to start 10 minutes ago. Come with me!

Prado: W-wait just a moment...!!

Layla: Mm.

Statues

Prado: Fascinating... Even Sumeragi honors their venerable employees with statues.

Sistina: Prado... Please refrain from any wildly inappropriate thoughts.

Prado: Heh heh. You always see right through me, Sistina! Upon our return we will have magnificent statues built in the royal palace honoring ZedΩ and his Knights!

Sistina: ...You just want statues of the Knights so that you can get a statue of your own, don't you?

Prado: Heh, I merely want to honor everyone fairly and equally!

Sistina: I don't think a statue of Prince ZedΩ is out of the question... But it is absurd to think the Knights deserve the same honor. ...A statue of Prince ZedΩ is perfectly fine though.

Prado: Agh...! In that case, our statues could be built from lowly stone! Grazie can even make them!

Sistina: You really don't know when to give up, do you...?

Kirin and Luxia

Kirin: You all sure have a lot of free time... Don't you have business back home?

Sistina: Hmph. You would be wise to remember that we have Layla's Djinn at our disposal. That makes staying on top of the situation a simple matter. We're perfectly fine right here.

Layla: Mm!

Kirin: Oh yeah, that little girl's power... It still works this far away, huh.

Luxia: ...Oh hey! You're the girl I lent my power to a while ago. How ya been?

Kirin: Speak of the devil. You really saved me back there. Thanks for that.

Serpentine: ...It's rare for Luxia to show herself like that.

Prado: Haha, she might be curious about the little kitten's power!

Preferences

Prado: I see you are mysterious as always today, Serpentine!

Serpentine: If you ask me, you are far more mysterious than I could ever hope to be... Was there something you needed?

Prado: Would you like some tea on this lovely afternoon? It's perfect weather for some Darjeeling!

Serpentine: Ah, a beverage... I'll take one cup, not cream or sugar, please.

Prado: Wh--what...?!

Serpentine: ...What's with that, "I can't believe it!" reaction?

Prado: "I can't believe it!" You have your tea without cream and sugar...?!

Serpentine: ...Could you not make such a big deal over others' preferences?

Incense

Prado: W-what is this overwhelming scent...? I'm beginning to feel dizzy...!

ZedΩ: (Prado enters the room where Serpentine is performing a strange ritual as Grazie sits nearby. ...A powerful odor envelops the surroundings.)

Grazie: Howdy, Prado... That's the incense Serpentine burns for her fortune tellin'.

Serpentine: I would normally hold the ritual in my quarters, but here I have no choice.

Grazie: I'm pretty used to strong smells, but Sistina and Zeddy ran off when it started.

Prado: I...I see...! Ack... On my honor as a Knight, I cannot be defeated by a mere scent! I will...endure it!

Serpentine: You're already quite pale. Will you be alright...?

Grazie: She's out like a light...

Grazie's Dialect

Kirin: You're always saying "right" this and "right" that, but...what do you mean by that?

Grazie: Huh...? When I say right, I meant right...

Kirin: I'm trying to tell you I don't understand...!

Serpentine: ...It means "very" or "really" in her dialect.

Kirin: You understand all that?!

Serpentine: Mostly... Though when she really gets going, I can only shake my head.

Kirin: I knew it was weird that Gunvolt didn't think anything about it.

ZedΩ: I don't have any problem either, you know.

Kirin: Huh...?!

Before Final Mission

ZedΩ: ...! I had no idea the Azure Spirits were so dangerous!

Kirin: They've even taken control of the little one's Djinn! This is bad news!

ZedΩ: Layla... I'll waste no time saving you!

Trivia

• In the "Battle Support" conversation, Shiron is referencing Rush, Mega Man's support dog from the original Mega Man series.
• In the "Model Kit Building 2" conversation, Apollo claims to have assembled a Mantis Delta model. However, the stage select background shows him with a regular Mantis model instead.
• The "Interior Creators" name of the shell company in the eponymous conversation is a play on the name of the game's developers, Inti Creates.
