Tim: Chief!
Chief: What is it?
Tim: The 3rd surveillance satellite's system is down!

Tim: I'm restarting it, but it'll take a while to get the image back.

Tim: I'm sending out a decoy with a camera eye to cover the lost information.

Chief: That's fine.
Chief: But that means we won't be able to immediately switch the decoys with The Children if we need to.
Shiho: It doesn't matter, chief.

Shiho: We can't switch out today anyway.
Aoi: Tim doesn't know our lines.

05

Kashiwagi: Oh, why not?
Shiho: Because they're our parts!
Shiho: And I'd feel sorry for him if he had to stay out in the truck the whole time.

Aoi: Go change.
Bullet: Eh!?
Bullet: Really!?
Kaoru: Go ahead!

Mirage: I could easily destroy your ability if I felt like it.
Mirage: If I wanted to, I could even reverse your psychic waves right now.

Kuromaki: That's not a very good idea.
Kuromaki: If something happens to us, The Children will find out who you really are.

Mirage: I would expect no less from the delinquents who keep getting in the way of father's work.
Mirage: You always play dirty.
Kuromaki: Heh.
Kuromaki: Say whatever you like!

Kuromaki: We'll do whatever it takes to get in the way of that sick "work"!!
