"All system green."

"There's nothing out of the ordinary in her M.I.N.D."

"She's all good."

They decided to take Liv to a Maintenance pod to inspect if there's something might be interfere with Liv's M.I.N.D

"Is that so..."

Liv walked out of the maintenance pod.

"I'm sorry commander..." She apologized.

"It's alright. I was a little surprised there for a bit." He replied, assuring her.

"But just to be sure.." The commander stood up.

"Commander..?" Liv looked at him with confusion.

"Liv, let me sync in and connect into your M.I.N.D" He pat her shoulder and grasp it softly.

"E-Eh?! Why so suddenly?" She stammered.

"I just wanna check on something." He said.

"I-It's okay, Commander. It's not like I not wanted to. But I'm fine." She sway her hands.

"Liv, you've been spacing out three times from yesterday's mission. Are you sure you're fine?" He recalled.

"I... I did?" She held her head in one hand.

'As I thought...'

"Maybe you should take a day off for the next missio-"

"I don't want to!" She exclaimed. Kimura opened his mouth a bit as he looked at him.

"I don't want to burden to the team or commander! Please, let me-"

"Liv." Her words got cut off from someone behind her. It was Lee, he walks beside the commander.

"I know how you feel. But pushing yourself doesn't do you any good. Just like commander said, you've been spacing out a lot. So take the commander's offer to take a break." Lee explained.

Liv looked at Lee for a bit before looking down towards her hands, frowning.

"Alright.. if it's Lee agrees so.. then I'll rest." Liv frowned at what Lee said.

"Don't worry, Liv. Just take a break in this one. You'll be back in a jiffy tomorrow." The commander reached out his hand and pat Liv by her head. She blushed a bit as he stroke her hair, but he let's him regardless.

In the Command Office, there stands Obi and Ayla. Briefing with President Hassen and Celica. They both saluted.

"At ease." Hassen said as they both put down their hand.

"You both know why I called you here, right?" Hassen inquired.

"Yes." The duo said in unison.

"Then, I'll just get straight to the point." Hassen replied as he unfurls a map of a country that already has red circle markings on it.

"This is..." Obi and Ayla inspects the map.

"That's right, this mission will take place in Japan." Hassen said.

"Whoa! Japan? I always wanted to visit Japan!" Ayla exclaimed as she excitedly clinging to Obi.

"Oi, get a hold of yourself! We're not going there to play around!" Obi fired, shoving her face away a bit from him.
