As the construction and mass expansion across the globe progressed in reclaiming lands from the Honkai, there was much to be done. Fortunately, MOTH was handling it all efficiently... but there weren't enough hands on deck.

They needed recruits.

"Eehh~ are we out of manpower?" Elysia teased with a playful tone, her pink hair bouncing as she leaned forward, the sunlight catching hints of shimmer in her locks.

"Yes," Dr. MEI sighed, glancing at complaints from various branches and the strict manpower distribution regulations, her brow furrowed in deep thought, grappling with the weight of responsibility that rested on her shoulders like an invisible burden.

"Hmm..." Elysia pondered, her playful smile unfading, her mind racing with mischievous ideas as she scanned the room full of busy researchers and scientists.

Meanwhile, Mobius, still sporting a slight belly from indulging in Aeon's cooking, noticed Elysia's grin and couldn't help but sigh, a mix of amusement and exasperation playing on her features. Her long green hair swayed as she looked directly at Elysia, silently questioning the motives behind her friend's sly expression. "What are you plotting?" she inquired, her voice laced with a hint of curiosity and resignation.

"Hehe~ I think I know just the thing," Elysia replied with a confident smirk, her eyes gleaming with excitement and a touch of mischief that hinted at her upcoming scheme.

"Of course..." Mobius shook her head, returning to her research, the hum of machinery and soft clinks of equipment the backdrop to her focused activities as she delved back into her scientific pursuits.

Eden chuckled softly, "What do you have in mind?" Her voice held a hint of amusement, her eyes twinkling with a shared sense of mischief as she awaited Elysia's response, ready to be part of whatever plan was brewing.

"I'll grab the camera. Eden, could you get Sakura and Fu Hua?" Elysia asked, turning quickly and waddling off, her steps light and quick, brimming with anticipatory energy as she set her plan into motion, leaving a trail of excitement in her wake.

"Got it," Eden nodded, smiling, her expression a mix of collaboration and amusement, eager to see what unfolds from Elysia's impromptu idea, her own curiosity piqued.

"Huh? What are you two up to-" Mobius' question was cut short by Elysia's sudden exclamation, the younger girl already racing off on her next mission, leaving a puzzled yet slightly amused expression on Mobius' face.

"I'll ask Uncle if he has the music!" Elysia's voice echoed in the distance, a blend of determination and enthusiasm carrying through the bustling research facility as she sought to complete her grand plan.

A few minutes later, most of the Flamechasers had gathered, except Kalpas, who was busy fighting Honkai beasts, and Kevin, away on a mission. Kosma and Griseo were off on an expedition with Griseo's parents.

Dr. MEI let out a deep sigh, the expression of puzzlement etched across her face as she gazed at the unfolding situation. "Could someone kindly offer an explanation for what is transpiring here?" her voice was laced with curiosity and a tinge of frustration.

"Exercise a bit of patience, MEI," Eden chimed in with a chuckle, his tone teasing. "You might just find yourself pleasantly surprised by the outcome."

With a quizzical expression, MEI arched an eyebrow in response to the notion of fun, silently questioning the unfolding events and their potential outcome.
