Plot
Act One
Ange starts her first day as a soldier Norma. Jill assigns Ange to the 1st Squadron headed by Captain Zola, a hedonistic sultry woman, and introduces Ange to the unit. Ange is then supervised by Salia, a quiet lieutenant and Zola's second in command. Ange is forced to wear a deceased pilot's suit but an annoyed Salia strips her naked and Ange reluctantly agrees to wear the suit. Then Ange is trained in Paramail simulator where at first she is confused in handling the controls but she later gains control when she recalls her aerial lacrosse matches which is quite similar to the controls of Paramail. After days of training, Zola admits that Ange is doing well in her routine and Salia gives Ange supplies and a room to sleep in.
