(Archipielago, Military Outpost.)

After it's completion, the new outpost became busy with preparations and extending their arsenal.

With resources taken from the Attenborough Mines, the outpost's own factory produced multitudes of Caimans, Thunder Kites, KOLID Sub-Alterns and the new THY-68 Ironside.

Aside from that, some new vehicles and their specs are beginning to be planned for production, with Bird overseeing most of it. Speaking of Bird, he's actually watching over a sector of the factory with Aldia by his side. With the resources they've been getting from the multiverse's endless void, they've grown significantly in mere months, something that usually takes a couple years to do.

Aldia: "Truly magnificent, don't you agree?"

Bird: "Of course Pontiff. We even managed to actually build our first cruiser-class of spaceships!"

Aldia: "Yes, the Odin class. Sure, they're only a few units now, but we'll be able to mass-produce it with how fast we're expanding."

Bird: "Rightfully said. Changing topics, have our troops found any of the factions, or even encountered them?"

Nodding, Aldia passes a tablet to Bird. A map is on the screen, showcasing the main factions that make up both Azur Lane and the Crimson Axis. It has been noted that Raptor Machina hasn't been sighted yet, nor they have encountered any of their troops. Bird smiled at this, knowing that they can fully prepare before they do anything notable.

Bird: "Hmm, we could actually conquer something with all this time."

Aldia: (grinning) "Oh, you just reminded me that I've been brainstorming something.."

Aldia then changes the screen to show his unfinished blueprint for a attack against the Eagle Union. His idea is simple; rather than taking control of their smaller bases first, they should conquer a important one. If this plan succeeds, it will deal a much major blow to them than a multitude of minor locations.

Bird: "Seems reasonable. Anyways, I'm returning to the Nemesis. The BR Ranger squad's back from their guerrilla operations in Remnant."

With a simple wave, Bird dismisses himself, leaving his friend in charge.

(Military Outpost, Landing Pad)

Just in time, Bird witnesses one of their new Albacores descend onto the landing pad. Once it's rotors stop moving, multiple soldiers and cargo move out, including the BR Ranger Squad.

All T-Dolls salute towards their leader, with Taylor taking  few steps towards him. With their minor exploits completed with success, Taylor had also acquired much more information regarding Remnant and its kingdoms.

Taylor: "First off, we have acquired information about Remnant. The so-called Dust, it's history and it's technology are here." 

Handed a file with all the mentioned data, Bird takes it before asking a few more questions to the squad. Eventually, the squad mentioned that one of their outposts have found actual Mobile Suits which would serve of great assistance in this world. Curious, Bird asked for a tablet, seeing for himself what was discovered. On the screen, the design of the MSM-03C Hygogg was shown, accompanied with actual photos of it's discovery near the outpost.

Taylor: "They're giving this one for your personal use. The recruits back there also mentioned that they'll be sending us these "Acguy" things.."

Bird: "The Acguy?"

Taylor: (Confused) "You know what it is."

Bird: "Eeyup. It's one of Zeon's mass-production Mobile Suits for amphibious environments. This is going to great for us!" (Gives a thumbs up) "Well then, I'll be on my way. Get a good rest you lot!"

Bird then takes his leave from the Landing Pad. The BR Ranger Squadron immediately plans out what to do with their free time afterwards, with the rest of the team pitching ideas.

Nate: "Hold up, I have a good idea. First one to give a scare to the AST ladies wins! How does that-" (Slapped on the face) "OW! What the hell Vargas?!"

Vargas: "Absolutely fucking not."

Taylor: "Yeah.. that would get us in trouble more than anything."

The group continues to walk away, chatting as they do. Today, Raptor Machina will keep a focus on getting their new tech over here and producing it as well to have a strong foothold. Then, they can strike any time they want.
