[Asuka doesn't maintain her petite figure by sitting in her room eating instant noodles and studying all day. Okay, so she does that most days and has mainly teenage metabolism to thank for remaining fashion-magazine skinny. She also, however, works out on occasion, particularly by taking jogs in and around LCU, which she's just finished doing for today. Dressed in workout clothes (fairly conservative ones given the recent cold snap) and with a towel stuck neatly between her sweaty neck and her hair, she winds down and decides to try something.]
[To an outside, non-Number observer, it would probably appear that she's doing very, very bad Tai Chi. In reality, her flailing and constant attempts at some kind of blocking motion are partly meditative but mostly trying to mimic something she remembered she could do from her most recent Echo. She was absolutely sure she was doing it right - focusing, thrusting her hands forward, and mentally pushing away from herself - but nothing was happening.]
[After a few minutes of the silly-looking poses (and weird looks from people walking their dogs), she gives up in disgust and picks up her phone.]
[Video -- Smartphone]
[Asuka, still flushed from her workout and annoyance, appears on the network and quickly looks around to make sure everyone else in the quad area is out of earshot.]
Okay, so who knows anything about force fields?

It felt real, but too much of it makes no sense.
[Like guys playing musical cosplay and murdering people. What the hell is that even, he doesn't get it]

I don't know, it is Japan. They've managed to figure out mechanical walking, at least.

If anyone's going to do it, it's Japan, but still. The logistics aren't there, especially where the weaponry's concerned.

Well, other than being impossible in the present day.
