Out on the airbase, Braedey was running alongside Dante and Nick, Betty and Asuka also alongside them as they keep in time. The former was running at pace with Nick and Dante, Betty and Asuka behind them, all going along as they keep in time.

"By the way, why are we even doing laps around the airbase?" Braedey now asked.
"Got to keep in top physical shape and condition while we're flying supersonic machines." Dante replied back to the brunette. "Can't be slacking off, you know."
"That's right." Nick added in next. "Plus, you never know if you even end up in a physical hand-to-hand combat situation."
"Right. Fair enough." Braedey shrugged back. "Oh. By the way, I've been needing to ask. What's with your call signs? I mean, why do you have the names 'Nitro Zeus' and 'Dracula'?" He looked to Dante. "Are you actually a vampire or something?" He asked with dread.
Dante couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, no. It's nothing like that. In fact, it's because I perform night missions and I always hit my targets. I have NEVER missed a single shot." He explained to Braedey.
"Okay..." Braedey commented. "And what about you, Nick?"
"That would be because I burn through the fuel when flying." Nick admitted to himself. "I can't tell you how many times I've been reprimanded for just laying on the afterburners and burn through almost all the fuel, then have to return to base to get fuel during training runs." He chuckled out.
"I wouldn't be laughing at something that's keeping your plane flying." Braedey commented back. "But why were you so gun-ho about it?" He asked.
"Just the thrill of going fast, I guess." Nick shrugged back. "It's not everyday someone can go up to Mach speed and easily break it without issue." He added.
"Fair enough." Braedey shrugged back as they continue to jog around the airbase. "And I guess you're wondering about why I'm named BlueBolt?" He said to Dante.
Just behind the boys as they chatted while they run, Betty was keeping to time while Asuka was alongside her. The two of them had been hearing the boys talking as they were running, Betty smiling as she saw them getting along, while Asuka was scowling out at this.
"Who does that Third Pilot think he is? Look at him, being all cheery and happy." Asuka scoffed out. "I mean, look at him. Just some nobody random picked off the street to be part of the Evangelion Air Force..." she rolled her eyes.
"Hey, don't take your negativity out on the kid." Betty lightly scolded the redhead, Asuka taken aback by this. "Just because Braedey is not like you or the others, it does not give you the right to demean someone like him. Keep that in mind, okay?" She sprints on ahead of Asuka to catch up with the boys.
Asuka watches the four pilots ahead of her, then she scoffed aloud in response. 'What is that girl talking about? She's a cargo plane pilot, not a fighter pilot. She doesn't get the need of being out there on the frontline and engaging in combat.' She thought out to herself, her sprinting onward.
