No kidding. Well, they probably just didn't want to take orders from a girl, or something stupid like that.

[ Grumble, grumble. ]

They were about identical to us in size, number, and capability, as far as their weapons and shields. They just obviously had more skilled pilots on board. The only difference was ... well, we got knocked into a nebula -- it's like a weird kind of cloud, but in space -- during the last fight, and being in it completely cut off all our power for a few minutes. No lights, no weapons, no anything. And it even disrupted the communications from Atroma for awhile. But they seemed completely fine, and they just turned around and left the way they came.

[ Okay, putting aside the space cloud for now because he obviously needs to research that later... ]

... they forced everyone here into that kind of situation and then people didn't want to organize a new effort against them in the future because you're a woman? How completely idiotic.

[ Say whatever you want about Uchiha Sasuke but he treats men and women pretty equally badly and sees zero place for recognition of gender on the battlefield or when someone has a good plan. People potentially not listening to Ino because of it after a full-scale attack is pretty fucking nonsensical. ]

I'll aid with your drills.

A lot of people here come from places where women aren't allowed to do anything, except have babies, I guess.

[ But she does feel better, now that Sasuke also thinks it's stupid. ]

Think you can convince the rest of your crew to join in? We can't exactly practice if the pilots aren't piloting, and stuff like that.

[ Right, okay, tell that to Sakura or Karin who saved his life multiple times or to Tsunade who brought him out of a coma or to the Mizukage who almost melted him. And don't get him started on Kaguya.

Underestimating a woman is one of the last things you may ever do and he is well aware of that fact. ]

Negotiation isn't my strong suit but I can present the case.
