It's beyond stupid that they're holding meetings of critical importance without their leader. It shouldn't matter that the villains summoned Alan to the capital, he's supposed to have long range communication technology. But for some reason he's out of the planning picture as the baddies wanted. There's no way he's out of range when he was communicating with AI Iris in orbit before just fine. What gives...?
Right, now it makes sense: he finally got his shit kicked in and he is currently not in a condition to be attending online meetings. He's the one getting captured instead of Cleria. Putting the OP MC into the damsel-in-distress position instead of the typical choices is certainly an interesting development. Perhaps now the walking solution is in a difficult problem himself and needs help from his allies?
Given that he was guarded by drones, I assume miss mysterious Empire soldier had countermeasures available for that.

I'm guessing there's a different TL team working on this every chapter, and the names are being romanized without referring at all to what was used in past chapters.
