"Yes? I'm sure you must have a lot of questions for me."

Following the recording, you can talk to the commander in chief in his office. He looks a bit uneasy and twitchy as usual. But also relieved, like if a great weight was lifted from his shoulders.

[2]
How about talking to Loni or Desta? Even though not in cells, they are under constant watch to make sure no one tries anything funny. Not them, nor people who are there to visit them.


"Fuck... so this is how we'd end up, imprisoned by our so-called 'allies'. If I knew... shit!"


"Just wait until we get out of here, Loni."

Lastly...


"..."

Ilinka is sitting in a cell. She doesn't pay attention to anyone who comes and goes, but if you call out to her - perhaps she'll respond?

A disconcerting revelation

[break_the_nine]

[With the recent events happening Leos is just waiting for the eventual moment in which Loni and crew get off scot free... so he drags himself to the lounge and crashes onto the sofa with a blank and bitter look on his face. Linking to the TV he starts flipping through the channels, not even noticing if anyone had followed him in. Then something catches his attention. Not you though...]



Wh... wha- No...No...NONONONONO!!!!

[Bolt upright Leos is rapidly flicking back through the channels at lightning speed, trying to find the image that horrified him this badly.]

Please...  he's dead! I saw him die-

"And just last week Nineball stunned the Arena Audience with yet another victory. Rumors were abound about his apparent demise but clearly they've been proven false! Hopefully we'll be able to get a chance to see both him and the newcomer Leos Klein in a showdown to determine who's number one!"

[Leos doesn't say a word. Simply sliding out of his chair in shock.]

One ends - another begins

1. (Mostly explanations - really, really long)
[The island hideout owned by Shu is now back in operation. The damaged Granzon is docked quietly in its hangar after a long absence, while its pilot, along with a certain familiar on her usual shoulder perch, touch down on the floor.]

( Cut for length )

2. (More of an actual prompt - dated to about a day after Birmingham.)

[Some people wandering around will find Shu and his bird standing somewhere with a good view. This means either the top of a building that overlooks part of Sakihama City, or the Star Rose's observation deck, or any such place.

You also overhear a conversation.]


"It's pretty amazing, huh? Almost like we never really left! Looks like the situation's almost the same too, except for the changes that the lady with the alien hair told us about...and this whole rich, influential uncle thing."


"All the more reason I feel that we should have ended our own battle in La Gias."


"On the bright side, Master, I don't think most people expected to hear so much from you yesterday. You definitely don't seem to be the type to have concerns like that, either."


"Hm?"


"W-well, you see, you're kinda...or er...to other people you're..."

[The bird flails while trying to think of how exactly to describe what she means.]

(no subject)

[dolorous_sensei]

*Walt watches a recording of the experimentees. Fine pilots, now turned into gibbering messes.*

"...I can see everything now."

"They're everywhere."

"I can see them even with my eyes closed!"

"They're staring at me. I can't rest... Please make them stop watching me..."

*The experimentee keeps on gibbering. Walt turns the video off. He involuntarily grabs his bandaged arm.*

"So they can see it too now." He says.

For the fallen

[abugslife]

[Hetepheres is standing on the outskirts of Birmingham, looking at the ruined parts of the city. Her staff in her hand, she's singing a song - it's hard to say what is this about, because it's in Gebian and sounds very strange, but it's slow and solemn. And long... But eventually it ends. And she addresses whoever was listening, without turning to them.]

I do not suppose it is a good time to mention Minister Pentu was very happy and agreed to support the PEP, is it?
