What, you thought I'd abandon you just because the Messiah has come out? Never. I'll take a trusty old Nightmare Plus over those fancy new fighters any day. You really don't give yourself enough credit, Nightmare. You're the real workhorse of the New U.N. Spacy; while those SMS pilots were out in their shiny new Messiahs, playing the hero and hogging all the glory, you and your brethren were the ones fighting the actual war. You've proven your worth in hundreds of battles over the last twenty years. That's more than the Messiah can claim.

You're not as pretty as the Messiah, you say? That's not true in the least. There's more to beauty than shiny energy conversion armor. Your true charm lies under your skin, in your 55,000 kg thermonuclear reactive engines, 30 vernier thrusters and pinpoint barrier generator. These features give you unparalleled thrust, maneuverability and defense. Also, who could forget about your optional heavy quantum beam cannon and MDE missile launchers? Whew, I'm getting all sweaty just thinking about it.

Hey, why don't we take a trip? I've been itching to get some flight time in my favorite variable fighter. How does this sound: just you, me, fifty magazines of reactive bullets and a remote asteroid field. We'll have a blast. What do you say?
