The Kaiju Runt in the Room....

One fine day, someone posts a general video message on the Unity Group network.

"Hello! This is Ranger Yancy Beckett, on loan with his brother from the Pan Pacific Defense Corps."

He smiles. "I've been impressed by everyone I've met here, and I'm looking forward to defending the Earth with you all!"

His smile fades. "That being said, there's something that I've been meaning to ask folks, something that's been bugging me for a bit." He fidgets, then blurts out:

"Why are there so many kids here?"

"Hopefully they'll keep him grounded until he picks up some inner peace...hell, until he gets the chance to grow older." Yancy agrees.

His frown deepens. "Have you run into Sergeant Sousek Sagara from Mithril?"

"Not personally but he does seem to be exceptionally disciplined in his approach to his duties from his introduction. He also seems to have approached the kidnapping in a very by the book fashion from that mission debriefing."

[Yuuya pauses for a moment before continuing.]

"Maybe a little too focused on the military and literal sides though judging by the reports and his dialogue with the cameraman."
