#51 Ranka Attack (F)
The attention paid to Ranka Lee, who basked in the limelight as the "Super Dimensional Cinderella", wasn't only by the fans or the media. Some of the New Unified Forces staff, who had noticed that there was a relationship between her songs and the Vajra, schemed for a military application of her songs.

Extra Report: Dimension Eaters And MDE Bullets
A Fold Bomb diverts the energy that is used to transition between fixed stars into a weapon. These weapons, which generate a pseudo-black hole by collapsing Heavy Quantum, and forcibly Space Fold the material that was absorbed within their range to another space, were judged to be effective in anti-Vajra combat where conventional weapons were unable to make a dent. Thus, special duty warheads (MDE bullets), where small Fold Bombs were used in Gun Pods, Missiles and so on, were developed by the L.A.I. Co..

Caption: Even though Fold Bombs were recognized as new weapons that surpassed the Reaction Weapons, Fold Quartz was needed in their production.

Caption: Although the MDE bullets, which were developed by the L.A.I. Co., surely had a small sphere of effect, taking their operability into account, they had a size that could be loaded aboard the VFs.

Extra Report: S.M.S.'s Owner, Birla
The owner of the Private Military Provider S.M.S. is the Zentraadi named Richard Birla. Birla, who calls himself a "pioneer", noticed that the Vajra network communication wasn't influenced by Fold Faults. He aimed at implementing a world that isn't separated by the Fold Faults. For that reason, it seems that S.M.S. was also a means for him to aggressively acquire information on the Vajra.

Caption: The model train set that Birla's own room is completely devoted to seems to be something that reflects his pioneering spirit.

Caption: He inserted a picture of Lynn Minmei into his ring. Birla's dream was to pass through the Fold Faults and meet her again.
