Rai piloted the helicopter, tracking Kusanagi Ritsuko and her group, alongside her three sisters, arriving near a warehouse.
Akatsuki glanced at the warehouse, suspecting this might be the enemy's base. However, recalling their previous encounter at the abandoned building, she cautiously said, "This could be the enemy's stronghold, but there's also the possibility that it's another trap! Rai, let the helicopter scout ahead!"
"Aye! Watch Lady Rai work her magic!" Rai happily responded, deftly controlling the console in her hands as she steered the helicopter closer to the warehouse.
Rai had grown increasingly fond of this helicopter. Deep inside, she had already decided it would be her favorite piece of ship equipment and was even toying with the idea of giving it a name.
Would "Helicopter-chan" suit it? Or perhaps "Aircraft-kun"? Maybe something more elegant would be better. She could consult the Commander later to come up with a good name.
