stupidhonor: (stoic determination)

With Lord Moswar's death, a moot will be organized. He has left no one to call an heir, so his titles and the Lord's Arm will be given to others - all knights of Ankaia can participate in the moot and decide on that and other important matters.

But his death is just an excuse for the moot to gather. The real reason for the gathering will be to make a unified decision regarding Earth. Lord Moswar's faction lost its head. There is yet possibility of peace.

In the meantime, I will remain here. Lord Moswar's actions were against Earth's good - and Ankaia's as well. I made a vow to guard the innocents against him and the likes of him. I will not break that vow, so until that time...


I hope you will allow me to fight by your side.

[There is one more thing that a lot of people will probably ask Sielje about. The title Moswar used to refer to her, that made her so angry...]


Lord Moswar had in his grasp - the secret of Power Within. There used to be a time when that was the case for every of Ankaia's warriors, but nowadays only a few chosen know its incantation. The ultimate technique of self-actualization, any knight may use it once and once alone.

The reason for that is it draws upon the life force of the one who uses it. An old or weak person's life may become quickly extinguished... and even if you survive, you are not the same. Your strength, potency, are but shadows of their former selves.

Such a survivor is known as a Burned Out.

So the weapons of Earth are not powered by their wielders' might? Of course, they are not made from hide and bone of beasts of Ankaia... but does it not allow for even a weakling to excel in combat, if his or her tools are good?

[Sielje asks this question while sitting atop of a Genoace - the mobile suit took only a few steps from where it stood before losing balance and collapsing. You can probably guess who was the pilot, since she was the one who left the cockpit...]

If you think allowing weakling excel is combat is bad... you haven't seen the other side. That means it also let strong people die! Just because their machine is weak!

Do you know how many times I saw my experienced, brilliant comrade die just because they're only provided with cheap, weak machines, while their stupid enemies have advanced, expensive mech?

It's all society's fault! The richer get richer and stronger while the poor get poorer and die!

I'm in despair! This capitalistic wartorn society has left me in despair!

But you have to pay for them!

That's capitalistic society for you! You think you've tasted the good stuff? What you've tasted is nothing yet! To get the really good stuff you have to spend real amount of money!

Well, I guess from a certain point of view that might be better than the alternative, where everyone have to queue to eat the same amount of stale bread everyday for free...
