Onboard the Morning Musume, the Marine Special Forces team OCHA NORMA awaits at the flight deck for their ride to their designated insertion point a mere 10 nautical miles where Team Juice was currently deployed.
CAPTAIN ODA SAKURA: Strap yourselves in tight on the helo, Madopi. Our weather forecast officer's expecting gale force winds as you approach the Mariana coast. It's gonna be a bumpy ride to the LZ.
MAJOR SAITO MADOKA: No worries, CAG. We Marines are used to bumpy rides.
CAPTAIN ODA: Well, I've assigned Lieutenant Yamazaki to fly you out on the SH3 helo, and Lieutenant Kitagawa will be escorting you guys on her F18 jet. Weather notwithstanding, you'll be in good hands with these two. We endeavour to make rides comfortable especially for Special Forces Teams of the Fleet.
MAJOR SAITO: [salutes] Thank you, Ma'am. I'm sure Admiral Uemura's grateful to you and Commodore Ishida for the support.
CAPTAIN ODA: It's the least we could do, Major. And good luck. Send my regards to Commander Inoue when you rendeavous with Juice.
