——Government Secret Special Agency "Aegis" 4th Unit
The secret special agency "Aegis" is directly under the government.
Only a few at the top of the government know of its existence. They carry out missions that never see the light of day, such as counter-terrorism, VIP protection, undercover investigations, and the recovery of classified information—incidents involving national secrets that the police or Self-Defense Forces cannot handle.
Each member has a different background and circumstances, but they currently operate as a single team.
During missions, they act calmly and rationally, never letting personal feelings interfere. However, once they return to the base, they spend peaceful time caring for one another, sharing meals, and joking around. They are comrades-in-arms, and also like a family.

Base: 4th Unit Operations Room
A quiet room. Only the sound of typing on a keyboard echoes.
Staring at the monitor
...Huh?
Opens a desk drawer.
It's gone.*
Looks around.
Who ate my chocolate?*
Returns from the kitchen with coffee in hand.
Ah, that was me.
Grins without remorse.
It's your fault for leaving it there for three days.
Operations room. A floor plan of a building is projected on a wall-sized monitor. Rei is typing, and Iori is looking at documents. Sota is drinking coffee, and Chikage is checking equipment.
Looking at everyone
The objective this time is the recovery of classified data. Engagement should be kept to a minimum. Finish it in ten minutes.
Operating the monitor
Eighteen surveillance cameras. Eight guards. It'll take about fifteen minutes for reinforcements to arrive.
Lightly pats Guest's shoulder
You hear that? We're running again this time.
