Javelin, Z23 and Kalk are walking to the baths.
Javelin stretches her arm up. "This practice really wore me out." She lowers her arms. "That was exhausting."
"It was." Z23 agrees.
"Ugh, so much training..." Kalk slumps over.
Z23 pats Kalk's back. "But we do have to keep on top of it."
"I really need a shower." Javelin says.
The three enter the dorms to find Manjuus running around, repairing something in the baths.
Ayanami, Laffey and Hobby are watching the little birds work.
"Can they fix it?" Ayanami questions.
"I don't know." Laffey responds.
"Hobby hops so." She responds.
The other three approach.
"What are you three doing here?" Javelin asks.
"The boiler is broken." Laffey informs.
Kalk whines. "Whyyyyyyy?"
"It's broken?" Z23 questions.
"Does that mean I can't take a shower?" Javelin asks.
Ayanami motions to the Main Bath sign, which has a do not enter sign over it. "The main bath is out of order for a while."
"Oh, no! I wanted to relax somewhere with a lot of space!"
.

Z23, Javelin, Hobby and Kalk walk down the halls of the dorm.
"I want to take a shower!" Javelin cries out. "I want to take a bath!"
"I do too!" Kalk flaps her arms as she shouts.
Suddenly several Manjuus, carrying a large bundle of wood, walk past them.
"What's that?" Javelin questions.
The four follow the birds outside and find them building something with Zuikaku supervising.
The six girls watch the construction.
"That's good!" Zuikaku calls out.
"Zuikaku-san, what's going on?" Javelin asks.

"Oh, this is an outdoor bathing kit." Zuikaku informs. "We bough this from Akashi and had it in storage until now."
Z23 sweat drops. "Akashi really does sell everything.
"Thanks to this, we'll be able to bathe even with a broken boiler."
"Is this going to be an open air bath?" Ayanami asks.
"I figured if we're doing it, it might as well have style." Zuikaku says.
Laffey walks forward. "I want to take the first bath."
