The three Aetanii oblige, leading the Terrans out of Castiel and back to where their vessel is landed.

When they arrive, they find a space cleared as a rifle range, another cleared for what appears to be hand-to-hand, and a third which appears to be some sort of straight track, with an Aetanii at one end armed with an automatic pulse-rifle.

The three Aetanii first lead the three to the final range.

'Despite what you may think, this is actually one of the easiest ones for us to accomplish,' remarks Lieutenant Oda. She gestures towards an Aetanii in brown stepping up at a signal from an officer in blue.

'Watch,' she says. 'Because this is how we typically fight the Rin.'

The Aetanii at the other end of the course shoulders his rifle, the weapon primed.

The runner takes off, head low, moving at far faster speeds than a Terran.

The rifleman begins firing, but the runner avoids them, barely moving their body in order to effortlessly evade the shots. At less than ten feet, the gunman fires again, but to no avail: the Aetanii still manages to react and dodge, before passing him.

'Our reflexes are one of the few things we have going for us,' Yatogami explains. 'We're a lot quicker on our feet than our main foe, the Rin, and as you can tell, we can avoid point-blank lasers at six feet if we're expecting to be fired upon. It makes up for some of our shortcomings: like how many of our bones are hollow. Not a survival trait you want to have when your arm is crushed in a Rin's grip. If they get hold of us, we're as good as dead.'
