Lieutenant Nakamura
Board of Inquiry findings: 'pilot error and insufficient aggression.' They blamed the dead, and then they blamed Akira.
Major Kenji
Two armies, one script. Aurora's board pinned their losses on Hikari the same hour. Almost like someone wrote both reports.
PILOT
Someone did. The question is where they're sitting.
Lieutenant Akira
Then we stop asking permission to find out. Hikari's willing to trade intel. Tonight. If anyone here objects... forget you heard this.
Major Kenji
Heard what? Move out.

Lieutenant Akira
You're late.
Lieutenant Hikari
I had to lose an actual tail this time, not a metaphorical one. You should be flattered.
Lieutenant Akira
I am. Terrified, but flattered.
Lieutenant Hikari
Good. Terrified is the correct amount, given what I'm risking to be standing in this particular hallway. Now — what does your board actually know?
Lieutenant Akira
You'd never walk away from this. You like it too much.
Lieutenant Hikari
The intelligence-sharing, or the company?
Lieutenant Akira
...Ask me again when this war's over.

Sergeant Sakura
So let me get this straight, Lieutenant: your secret contact in Horizon is the same ace you keep 'coincidentally' dueling. THE Akira.
Lieutenant Hikari
It's an intelligence arrangement, Sakura.
Sergeant Sakura
Uh-huh. And I'm the Queen of the Kingdom. Relax — your secret's safe. Just... be careful which war you end up fighting for.
PILOT
She's right. Both commands smell blood now. From here on, every friend is a risk.

Lieutenant Nakamura
Board of Inquiry findings just hit every terminal in the sector. I compared Horizon's report to Aurora's. Same sentence structure. Same three adjectives. That is not a coincidence, that is a template.
Ensign Asami
you compared their PROSE STYLE? nakamura that is the most yusuke thing you have ever done
Lieutenant Nakamura
...Somebody on this squad has to keep the habit alive, Ensign.
Major Kenji
And this time the habit is useful. Write it up properly and get it to Akira.

Sergeant Yuki
is it just me or does everyone on this channel suddenly sound like they are choosing words very carefully
Ensign Asami
yuki honey that is just Tuesday now, welcome to Phoenix Squad politics

Lieutenant Nakamura
Follow-up on "{{RIVAL_NAME}}" - Command quietly offered a bounty for Akira. The offer came back marked refused, in writing.
PILOT
A mercenary who turns down money. Now that is a rumor worth repeating.
Sergeant Yuki
a bounty on our own ace and the only one with standards is the freelancer. what a war.
