Worth keeping in mind, as well, that it might not be the same answer for all three of them.

He really needs to work on that second part. Much as he loves the rocketman life, it's getting tiresome when the hardware's not available.

One of my lingering regrets is that he's just not in the right mood here to quote Queen's Flash Gordon theme back at her.

"That's right, I'm just a man, with a man's courage. Y'know, I'm nothing but a man, but I can never fail. No one but the pure in heart can find the golden grail."

"... What?!"

"You never studied."

>That may be so, but you'll regret it in the morning Reimu.

She usually does, but she never learns. Some folks are just like that...

It's kind of hinted at in The Pros from Dover—Reimu spent most of the flight from Fusō meditating (or asleep), so apart from going up front and annoying the flight crew, which didn't seem like a super idea, Marisa didn't have much to do other than read. In those days, a flight from Fusō to western Europe, halfway around the world, took at least a week, and that was really standing on it. She had plenty of time to get well acquainted with their sample Zauberschulbuch and not a helluva lot else to do.

Oh... you'll find out soon enough. :)

I assume the IFN would have asked the War Office to turn it back on, both so that Admiral Sugita could keep at least nominal tabs on his pet project and, more importantly, so that the Project Mogami team had a way to request supplies and equipment that didn't involve driving or flying over to Barbican.

Of possibly greater note is that only Shizuka and maybe Mogami are likely to know who the hell he's even talking about, and then only if he's mentioned her while talking about his Domestic Situation at some point off-camera.

Given how many of the last 24 hours went into making it, the old Japanese standby "You must be tired!" might be best. :)
