Spoiler for At the 37th CIAA office:

Rancer: Moving right along, we have what looks like an all-bases bulletin broadcast on the public newsgroups about some sort of open challenge to attack one Corporal Tais Scien, whoever he is.

Ivey: Ooh, target practice huh? This could prove to be interesting.

Rancer: Come to think of it, I think I've heard of his name before... anyway, we've got his official records attached here, if anyone wants to take a look. Is anyone interested?

Nova: What about yourself, Rancer?

Rancer: I don't know. I suppose he should be able to hold his own, from a quick glance at his records, but he's only ranked D+. It feels a bit like bullying.

Nova: He can probably take care of himself. Otherwise, the challenge would not have been posted, don't you think?

Ivey: Hm. Hm hm. Hm, yes. This will be a good stress relief exercise, right, Reiz?

Reiz: What? Um, uh, I suppose so...

Ivey: Don't be so modest, you should go all-out against this guy! Smack him around real good, and don't let him get back up after you're done! Show him the true meaning of hell!

Reiz: Eeh?!

Rancer: Stop fantasizing so dangerously! The challenge specifically stipulates that non-lethal and non-crippling attacks should be used. That means that we should probably go a bit easier on-

Ivey: I'll cover him up in a Mistral Cage so tight he won't be able to breathe, and then I'll spike him all the way through!

Rancer As usual, she's not listening.

Halley: I want to join in too! My Jammer Cannon's been thirsting for blood!

Rancer: Non-lethal, I said! More to the point, how long have you been standing there?

Halley: Whatever, who cares about little details like that! I'll cook up some really powerful explosives and blast him to little smithereens! There won't even be a speck of him left!

Rancer: With how violent you are, it's hard to believe that your job is simply to sort books.

Halley: We'll all pile on him at once, that way there'll be no way for him to escape! What about you, May?

May: Pass.

Halley: Ah, spoilsport. Ivey?

Ivey: I'm in, and so's everyone in the team! Right, Reiz, Rancer?

Reiz: But, but-

Rancer: Now wait a second! How did it get decided so quickly?

Halley: Let's go! Leave no prisoners and show no mercy!

Rancer: For real?!
