Allocs were cut (/Recommendation by the Production and Allocation Machine

At some point in the past the "current war" started, which caused extra allocs
|
2023-09-11 20:40:30 -07:00
|
|
|
from voluntary work to increase and the basic allocs to decrease. (1.1.261)

Due to a special conscription act enacted 20 years ago, all new magic girls owe
|
|
|
|
the military 30 years of service. The minimum age of combat was dropped to 13
|
2023-09-11 20:40:30 -07:00
|
|
|
(1.1.381). Magic girls enter the military not as privates but 2nd lieutenants
|
|
|

(1.1.385).

A defect in the Cult of Hope's computers caused random drops with grief cubes
|
2023-09-11 20:40:30 -07:00
|
|
|
for squads on the front line (1.1.653). The occurrence seems random. This was
|
2023-07-06 21:41:51 -07:00
|
|
|
counterintuitive since computers are not supposed to make such mistakes. Secret

examination squads sent by Sakura K. could not spot problems (1.1.657). Similar
|
2023-07-06 21:41:51 -07:00
|
|
|
defects caused girls to be sent behind the lines or home and never came back.

When Sakura K. was visiting Wolf 359, a platoon of infantry dragged Saya-chan's
|
|
|
|
(other details unknown) body and soul gem back to safety, but she expired. They
|
|
|
|
broke down in front of Sakura K. demanding that she finds the missing Saya-chan

** Chapter 3: Mami Watches a Movie, Part 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mami goes to the theatre to watch the film /Akemi/ in disguise (1.3.57).
|
|
|
|
The film /Akemi/ is about the life of Akemi H. (1.3.197).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The film starts by describing Akemi H.'s childhood in an orphanage (1.3.191).
|
|
|
|
Then she entered a school and was attacked by demons. At this time she had her
|
|
|
|
encounter with the goddess (1.3.283). She made a wish to defend the world and
|
|
|
|
became a magical girl (1.3.331).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The film was not completely in line with reality (1.3.361). After the battle
|
|
|
|
with demons and Miki S.'s demise, the goddess gave Akemi H. a ribbon (1.3.409).
|
|
|
|
One major divergence is the following: The film depicted Chitose Y. as in a
|
|
|
|
clique rivaling the Mitakihara Four. She joined Mitakihara Four after the rest
|
|
|
|
of her clique died (1.3.447). It is a blatant lie (1.3.489).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flashing forward to 10 years later, Tomoe M. and the rest of Mitakihara Four get
|
|
|
|
into trouble for operating the clandestine magic girl operation and scaring a
|
|
|
|
neighbour (1.3.509). At this time, Mitakihara Four had to constantly fight to
|
|
|
|
maintain secrecy (1.3.517). MSY was founded by Akemi H. to streamline efforts of
|
|
|
|
cooperation and making the lives of magic girls easier (1.3.539). After intense
|
|
|
|
negotiations, MSY is founded from a simple cooperation agreement in Mitakihara
|
|
|
|
City. The montage that was shown next outlined MSY's expansion from the city to
|
|
|
|
the entire world (1.3.645).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At T-20a, Aurora colony was attacked by cephalopodan aliens with no survivors
|
|
|
|
(1.3.671). Then Atlas colony was attacked (1.3.681). With the aliens refraining
|
|
|
|
from orbital bombardments, evacuation ships were let through (1.3.689). An
|
|
|
|
emergency session of MSY was held which decided to aid the Atlas colony and
|
|
|
|
others. The Earth's military is no match for the aliens and their next target is
|
|
|
|
New Athens in Epsilon Eridani (1.3.739).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Chapter 4: Mami Watches a Movie, Part 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to later analysis, the aliens were performing a demonstration attack
|
|
|
|
(1.4.45). Starships and commercial liners full of magical girls head for Epsilon
|
|
|
|
Eridani, which raised considerable interest in the general population who are
|
|
|
|
not familiar with them, and the government investigated (1.4.63). The magic
|
|
|
|
girls posed as tourists and waited for the signal to attack (1.4.73). Earth's
|
|
|
|
military and militia were slaughtered by the alien infantry (1.4.113).
