#### A Robot From the Sea

At some point, she had arrived at PA-007 prior. While sitting at top of a buildingr, she uses radar to check for any incoming targets towards the sector. After confirming that Navilland are not government troops, she communicates with Hasty and the party. Even when Kaira asks her angrily, she answers very calmly and ends the communication.

She sees a giant robot sticking out of the sea (Kangtawoo) and wonders why something that wasn't even moving when she arrived suddenly starts moving.

She greets Hasty's group who arrived safely in sector PA-007, says her real name, pretends to shake Hasty's hand, and accesses her memory without any terminal and reads the data. Afterwards, she explained Hasty's true nature and said that she would make up for the incompleteness of the Glynda module if she entrusted the research of the core to her. After recording a shocking defeat in the fight against Dietrich and Roskva, she went to sector PA-007. Hasty, who was routed, suddenly lowers her head and asks for help. If she does anything wrong, her functions will be suspended. When she asks if she can trust her as a suspicious hacker, she is told that she can trust her as the owner of Kaira and guides the group.

When Kaira asked where she acquired Neil Armstrong, she said that after leaving Kaira, she came to the PA-007 sector alone nd accidentally remodeled Armstrong, which was in the warehouse, into a super soldier level.

When Martin hastily refutes that this is the epicenter of the P-Flu and that he came to see if he could find the cause of the outbreak, she criticizes him for being rude for calling her a kid. When she shows her personal details to Martin and reveals that she is 35, Martin is embarrassed. In the end, when Martin apologizes, she pats him on the head and shows him the confidential documents of the special task force that he stole about 7 months ago and tells him the truth about P-Flu.
