However, several of the Labors being used in Tokyo, specifically those built by Shinohara Heavy Industries, suddenly activate and go haywire, even while unpiloted. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's (TMPD) 2nd Special Vehicles Section (SV2) is assigned to help neutralize the malfunctioning Labors, but only the SV2's Division II is on duty around-the-clock (with Division I already on training duties elsewhere).

Ode to a Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning

In the sultry swamp of sweaty pits,

A putrid glob did congeal,

A muculent mound of malodorous green,

Its sickly scent did it unseal.

The sun's blazing wrath did scorch the Earth,

Yet in my fetid hollow it hid,

This loathsome lump of emerald woe,

Like a festering secret amid.

Oh, revolting mass of viscous slime,

Your oozing form doth repulse,

A horrid blob, of rancid hue,

You make my stomach convulse...

*heave, boak*

"The Maythorn Way is a concept or term that may refer to various things depending on the context, but it is not widely recognized in popular culture or literature. It could potentially relate to a specific philosophy, a method of living, or a particular approach to a subject. If you have a specific context in mind, such as a book, a philosophy, or a community practice, please provide more details, and I would be happy to help clarify!"

“Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do.

They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one’s ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennas on their head and making beep beep noises.”
