Having decided to participate in the test for orbital paratrooper mecha warriors, Ji Xinghe did not leave the Number 5 base immediately.

"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we've clearly understood your physical data. We estimate that in ten days, we'll have your customized orbital paratrooper mecha suit ready. Please confirm once again—are you planning to continue piloting the Federation's 16th standard-type mecha?"
"Yes, I plan to pilot the Federation's 16th standard-type mecha."
