Cat Tactics
S1 E4:
Transfer student Reiji creeps out his classmates because he's always hanging out with cats. One day, while chasing a cat, he stumbles into Oblivion Bay. As if guided by some mysterious force, he climbs into the cockpit of the new Rogue. Then, with the cat still on board, the autopilot activates and takes off for the battlefield.
