the AOU gauntlet knights getting together and showing off short virtual experiences they made as a means of playful oneupmanship on the theme 'best way to eat an energy bar'
Miyao's: Middle of an AAI battle mission, low on energy, grab an energy bar, high five your flying partner in midair and perform a perfect combination attack
but it uses massive energy, so to be an effective gauntlet knight, you have to set the auto-shield to very low sensitivity so that you can conserve it for when it's needed
When she was offered the chance to participate in the Pandora program, she was told that the likelihood of success was very low, but that it had improved by 300% since the last round of participants
The real villain in WTC is always a shitty old man who was dead before the game starts and now the heroes are dealing with the consequences of his actions
the scandanavian girls introduced Miyao and Jayden to salmiak licorice
the menace of a food can't be measured by power level alone

Miyao will give her the items she needs, but at a price
Lilja and Koshka accuse Miyao of watching them too closely for selfish reasons

and then Chloe electrocuted Lilja and Koshka again
the emergence... of Chloevil

it's not a perfect system
the mechanism for modern earthquakes is unknown, and they often strike several places simultaneously
by which I mean the exact same thing happened to Koshka
Chloe was originally considered low-grade, but it was because the aptitude tests weren't reading her abilities
She was used as equipment to inflate the morale of other, higher-aptitude pilots
When Okonogi threatens to fire Chloe, Lilja and Koshka IMMEDIATELY go to bat for her
Jayden met up for thirty people for the holiday
Selcom conversations are digitally filtered to avoid cultural misunderstandings
oh right, the AOU is a cyberpunk nightmare dystopia
In the AOU, 'sibling' means 'someone who was born at the same facility as you in the same yeaer'
Miyao I guess this was a joke but this is real fucking dark in hindsight
giving birth to and raising your own kids is heavily regulated
almost nobody who tries to become a Gauntlet Knight succeeds
Gunhild had low aptitudes, but worked unbelievably hard and succeeded by determination alone
