In the office, Zeta has been assigned as a secretary and is now working on some of the paperwork that was given by the commander.
Commander: *sigh* It's good to have another boys here. I've been tempted by some of the girls, but hey, at least I survived.
Zeta: *continue working on the paperwork without even bothering his words*
Commander: Not much of a talker, huh? I get that. *Looking through the paperwork and found something on it* Hey, it seems like I will be having a new technology from the higher ups. It says here, that they had developed a power suit from siren technology to defeat an Arbiter class.
Zeta: *still working on the paper*
Commander: umm, Arbiter Class, Your class... Are you-
Zeta: *stop working on the paper* Yes, I listened. Power suit from siren technology to defeat an Arbiter class. There, happy?
Commander: I thought your reaction would be concerned.
Zeta: Well I didn't anyway. So please stop slacking around and do your work
Commander: *sigh* aye aye, Siren
They both continue their work for another hour. A few days forward, Commander's power suit has arrived at the base. He immediately wears it and test it out. Once he tested the suit, he called everyone to go to the training area.

At the training area
Commander: Alright girls, and Zeta, as you can see I'm wearing a power suit from the higher ups. It harnessed the power of Siren technology that can defeat any Arbiter class with ease.
The rest of the shipgirls are amazed by the cool-looking suit, while others are impressed with its power. All except Zeta and Ashley, they remained stoic and unimpressed.
Commander: for further testing, I want all the strongest to fight me in battle. I will choose 5 person as a group against me. If I call your name, please stand on the opposite side and get ready. Enterprise, Bismarck, Unzen, NJ, and Zeta, come forward.
The selected team then goes to the opposite side while the others goes to the sideline of the shore. Zeta however, stayed for awhile as he talks to Ashley.
Ashley: ... Is he for real?
Zeta: Yes...
Ashley: ... You're going to humiliate him and the higher-ups?
Zeta: ... Possibly
He then goes with the others as they prepare. They all activate their riggings, except for him.
Bismarck: Siren, aren't you going to summon your rigging?
Zeta: No
Enterprise: You're going to fight him bare hands?
Zeta: yes
NJ: I've seen crazy stuff to know where this is going.
Zeta: ...
Commander: Alright, Ready guys?
NJ & Enterprise: Eagle Union ready.
Bismarck: Leader of the Ironblood, Bismarck, accepted your challenge
Unzen: May the gods bless me in this battle.
Zeta: ...
The four shipgirls looks at him to say something.
Zeta: *notice their gaze* ... What? You expect me to say some catchphrase? Hell no, I'm not wasting my time thinking about catchphrase
They have a look of disappointment until they eventually ignore it. They took standoff with the commander for a moment to see if one of them makes a move. It was an intense silence between the two sides.
*Bang* *crack*
All of a sudden, the commander kneel down and hold his stomach while grunting in pain. Everyone is surprised to their commander in pain. He removes his hand from his stomach and saw a crack on his armor
Zeta: There, he has been weakened. You four fight him, I'm out.
The girls and commander jaw drop at his calm yet disrespectful manner.
Unzen: But... How? Did you hit him? We didn't see you attack
Zeta: Exactly
He left the training area while they still have their jaw dropped in surprise. After he left the training area, the commander went back up while still in pain as the girls fight him.
In the end, it was a tie. The commander tells his higher-ups about the power suit. It was supposed to withstand most powerful Arbiter class attack and calculate their speed. But to Zeta, he gave a zero f*ck. He eventually got banned again to never be selected for a fight test.
