[1, shortly after the mission]
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...]

YOU'RE GOING TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE. SO HERE'S WHAT I'LL ASK OF YOU: WHILE YOU'RE HERE, THINK. ESPECIALLY ON THAT WHOLE "HONOR" SHIT. WHAT OBJECTIVES THE RULES SPRUNG FROM. WHY SO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT MIGHT LEVEL THE FIELD BETWEEN THE STRONGEST AND THE ONES WHO SIMPLY ARE DRIVEN - AMBUSH, COMBINED ARMS, RANGED ATTACKS - ARE DECRIED AS DISHONORABLE, WHILE EVERY HONORABLE AVENUE IS, NOT COINCIDENTALLY, ONE THAT FAVORS WHICHEVER BASTARD IS ALREADY MOST POWERFUL. WHAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DEPENDS ON AND HOW IT DEALS WITH THE STRESS THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING TO PUT IT THROUGH.

I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH UNTHINKING FANATICS AND GENERAL BULLSHIT TO DEAL WITH. ESPECIALLY SINCE I BET AT LEAST A COUPLE MORE OF YOUR LORDS ARE GOING TO COME HOWLING, MINIMUM. AND YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE A BAD KID.


[Just kind of an idiot. But then, she deals with plenty of idiots as is. Kagura begins walking away. She stops for a second as she does, though, turning her "face" slightly to regard Sielje over her massive shoulder]

AND BY THE WAY, FRIENDLY WARNING WHILE WE'RE ON THAT - EARTH IS A MESS OF CULTURES, NOT THE MONOLITH OF YOUR WORLD, AND PEOPLE CAN'T AGREE ON FUCKING DINNER, MUCH LESS WHAT'S RIGHT. DON'T GO AROUND YELLING AT PEOPLE ABOUT DISHONOR UNLESS YOU INTEND TO BACK IT UP THE HARD WAY.

[And so she continues, heading off.]

[And far away, under her armor, not seeing Sielje's outburst but having a decent guess as to how her speech was landing while she was saying it (being an empath and all), and reviewing what she's learned, a little fairy smirks to herself, satisfied. That was a more productive conversation than she'd expected when it began.

Now, back to work.]
