Rita
was
familiar
with
cormorant
fishing
,
a
traditional
Japanese
technique
.
The
fishermen
tie
a
snare
at
the
base
of
the
trained
cormorant
’
s
neck
just
tight
enough
to
prevent
it
from
swallowing
any
of
the
larger
fish
it
catches
,
and
then
play
out
enough
rope
to
enable
the
bird
to
dive
into
the
water
and
fish
.
Once
the
cormorant
has
a
fish
,
the
fishermen
pull
the
bird
back
and
make
it
spit
out
its
catch
.
Rita
felt
that
her
relationship
to
the
army
was
a
lot
like
a
cormorant
’
s
relationship
to
a
fisherman
.
Rita
was
in
the
army
because
that
was
how
she
made
her
living
.
Her
job
was
to
go
out
and
kill
Mimics
and
bring
their
corpses
back
to
her
masters
.
In
return
,
they
provided
her
with
everything
she
needed
to
live
and
took
care
of
life
’
s
little
annoyances
without
her
ever
having
to
know
they
were
there
.
It
was
a
give
and
take
relationship
,
and
in
her
mind
it
was
fair
.
Rita
took
no
pleasure
in
the
notion
of
being
the
savior
of
the
earth
,
but
if
that
’
s
what
the
army
wanted
,
so
be
it
.
In
dark
times
the
world
needed
a
figure
for
people
to
rally
behind
.
Japan
’
s
quarantine
line
was
on
the
verge
of
collapse
.
If
the
enemy
managed
to
break
through
at
Kotoiushi
,
Mimics
would
swarm
the
industrial
complex
on
the
main
island
.
With
the
cutting
-
edge
factories
and
technologies
Japan
brought
to
the
table
lost
,
there
would
be
an
estimated
30
percent
drop
in
the
effectiveness
of
the
Jackets
they
used
to
wage
the
war
.
The
ramifications
would
be
felt
throughout
the
UDF
.
Without
someone
to
interrupt
the
tachyon
transmissions
,
the
battle
would
never
end
.
Technically
it
was
possible
to
drive
them
back
with
an
overwhelming
show
of
force
.
After
several
loops
the
Mimics
would
realize
they
couldn
’
t
win
,
and
they
would
withdraw
with
as
few
casualties
as
possible
.
But
that
wasn
’
t
the
same
as
defeating
them
.
They
would
simply
retreat
beneath
the
ocean
,
out
of
humanity
’
s
reach
,
and
gather
their
strength
.
Once
they
had
assembled
an
insurmountable
force
,
they
would
attack
again
,
and
there
would
be
no
stopping
them
a
second
time
.
Fighting
a
war
with
the
Mimics
was
a
lot
like
playing
a
game
with
a
child
.
They
had
decided
they
were
going
to
win
before
the
game
had
even
started
,
and
they
wouldn
’
t
give
up
until
they
won
.
Little
by
little
,
humanity
was
losing
ground
.
The
duration
of
the
Mimic
time
loops
was
approximately
thirty
hours
.
Rita
repeated
each
loop
only
once
.
The
first
time
through
a
battle
she
assessed
the
casualties
her
squad
sustained
;
the
second
time
through
she
won
.
In
that
first
pass
she
could
see
what
the
strategy
was
and
learn
who
died
.
But
the
lives
of
her
friends
were
in
the
merciless
hands
of
fate
.
That
couldn
’
t
be
changed
.
Before
each
battle
,
Rita
secluded
herself
to
clear
her
thoughts
.
One
of
the
privileges
of
her
station
was
that
Rita
had
her
own
private
room
that
no
one
was
allowed
to
enter
.
