Yayoi smiled (as did Yuu down in Public Relations).
Noah just nodded. "That goes a long way to undoing the PR problem she just gave herself."

Natsuko checked what was left of her loadout. Yes, she could re-equip by re-spawning, but she hadn't been killed yet - and if she could stay alive all the way through the game, she'd get almost as much game rep as A.C. would for winning.
As she looked at her ammo reloads, she blinked ... then she remembered. Infinite ammo.
Oh, she'd been an idiot. She was treating the game as if it was real life! Well, not any more.
She pulled out the toy she'd been saving for an extreme situation. Patterned after the one in the old movie Murderers' Row, the Gyrojet Pepperbox was clean, not-at-all shiny, and in perfect working order for a half-century-old sidearm. The rockets, however, were brand new - and waved to be heat-seeking.
Natsuko took careful aim, held her breath ... and fired off all twelve rounds at once.
(You were looking for a challenge, if I recall. I believe a dozen .50-cal heat-seekers might give A.C. at least some mild concern... especially if they're followed by another dozen a minute later. )
