So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

I don’t know. I’m asking him right now.

Ohhhh boy.

Please tell me what he says?

I will.

I need to ask him about the other regions. That’s probably the extra missions he wants to assign.

Yeah, I could see that.

...Are you gonna apply?

I wanted to a month ago. And I still do.

But I still need to teach Crow something, and I’ve been thinking about Rean. [ considering the bean has not yet contacted him, but eren’s already planning. he didn’t see what happened, but he certainly has a feeling he knows more than anyone, how that feels. ]

Balancing that around with missions we’re already getting, my plate’s full.

Right. Honestly, I'm pretty relieved to hear that.

I'd probably insist on coming along if you did sign up. I know you can regenerate, but what happened with Anna has me worried.

What are you teaching Crow?

I don’t blame you. In her case, what saved her life was going alone in the first place, but I don’t know if I’d do the same thing.

[ it’s . . . hard. his entire two life times tell him backup matters no matter what kind of backup it was. ]

How to incapacitate me.

Yeah. Even if that did help her last time, going alone is usually good way to get killed.

[Especially when you're Eren, who is scientifically proven not to be trusted to go alone]

Huh? Like- get you out of the titan?

We know me.

[ recent studies show an even higher death rate when eren goes out alone in the year 2019 ]

When I’m in and out. I nearly sliced his head off in one of the gates last week.

...Yeah. But hey, my powers are too slow to work well when I'm alone, so we make a good team.

[No need to make Eren feel like he's the only one needing supervision!! Protect your macaroni]

Oh, yikes. Now I get it. Trying to kill Crow seemed to be In last month, huh?

I love our team.

[ he protec ]

I don’t want another repeat. Do you know what to do if I go rogue?

Hehe. It's pretty great isn't it?

Well...if you're not a titan, I'd probably use a sleep spell. But if you're a titan, go for the nape right?

Do you think a sleep spell would work on the titan, too?

Probably not. It's too big.

There’s a size limit??

[ HE CAN’T BELIEVE HE MUST BE THIS SMALL TO SLEEP ]

Well...yeah?

I use bubbles to carry the lullaby, so I have to be able to reach the ears for it to work.

Little hard to do that when your ears are 20 feet off the ground.

Sorry.

Just don’t freak out if Crow brings me back like sushi one day. I told him to do it.

Don't be sorry. You can't help that titans are tall.

I'll try not to. Though I'll hope it never comes to that.

Hope, but be prepared.

I got some news from Zee.

I know, I know.

What'd he say?

We’re going to be destroying structures in the sixth layer in Magatus and there’s a huge probability that what’s above it is going to collapse when we do.

Ohhh boy.

I was dreading an answer like that.

We’ll rebuild Magatus. We can’t rebuild these lives if we’re all gone.

[ he just can’t believe this was his idea ]

Sure, but...
That's easy for us to say. We're not the ones losing everything.

[Yeah good job with that]

It’s not easy.
