Iori Fuyusaka:
Agh… hah… They just don’t let up…
Juro Kurabe:
This seems pretty rough on you, Fuyusaka-san. You okay?
Iori Fuyusaka:
I’m fine! Everyone else is doing their best, so I can keep going…
Juro Kurabe:
You need to know when no use your support units… The Guardian types are especially important.
They spike the D-forces’ threat identification signals. It makes them think it’s a high-priority target.
They can draw attention away from us as a decoy unit. That can distract the enemy away from us and the terminals.
Ei Sekigahara:
The EMP equipment on the 1st-gens can get us some breathing room too.
Though it tends to draw their attention instead of diverting it. It can be a risky move.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
A True soldier faces his foes head-on with pride. I couldn’t ask a better chance at glory!
Yuki Takamiya:
These things just don’t stop… How long we gotta keep this up?
Keitaro Miura:
If we could activate the Aegis faster, maybe we could mitigate some of our exhaustion as well.
…Actually, what do we know about this self-defense mechanism?
Renya Gouto:
Universal Control oversees the world through the terminals.
But the defense functions refuse to respond when the terminals are under kaiju attack.
The mainframe would go down without even noticing it was compromised.
Keitaro Miura:
…So when it comes to the kaiju, the system’s paralyzed?
Renya Gouto:
That’s one way to put it. And Operation Aegis is about covering for that weakness.
The Deimos attacks open up vulnerabilities so they can attack the terminals.
We exploit those same vulnerabilities with some low-grade hacking, to provoke the terminal’s security…
And trigger the defenses ourselves. The Aegis system activates, and the terminal locks out the kaiju intrusion.
If the threat of the Deimos is too subtle for detection, then we simply present a more obvious one.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
So it’s a ruse! Like sounding a fire alarm with no fire to get people bounding out of their bunks!
Keitaro Miura:
Familiar shenanigans. Isn't that why they used to call you a no-account rascal…?
Renya Gouto:
At any rate, that’s why we can't activate it until the D-forces are close enough to the terminals.
