Han Li, Jackson, and Yu Ren, three Ace Mech warriors who came to aid under the name of Xinghe Squad, left shortly after their arrival at Base Five.
Without any farewell ceremony or even a send-off.

"There is no problem with your bodily functions."
"The radiation level has completely disappeared."
"This is too unscientific."
