Yet another one. With company.

[not_a_prize]

[Peola lets out an irritated noise as she dragged herself out of the severely battered Regalis Filia. She gives the machine a somewhat irritable grimace at the sight of the smaller damages - most likely from the pin-like projectiles her sister used.]

They just get more and more worse every single time.

[She tiredly makes her way down the gantry before just settling down nearby, palming her face in frustration.]

Uuugh. What am I even complaining about. Just because that jerk and Ourania and their friends showed up doesn't mean its all bad... we beat the Gebians that wanted to wreck everything and I got a good fight out of it...

[Despite this though she feels more than a little...]

SO WHY THE HECK AM I SO ANGRY!?!

[...frustrated. She proceeds to punch a metal pillar next to her hard enough it left an indentation of her fist. She winces and holds her hand. It wasn't in too much pain but the impact stung a little. It was jarring enough to get her attention at least.]



Ow ow ow ow ow!

Return? Not really.

[mc_of_mcs]

[Video time. A sudden one at that from the person who just dropped in on the second battle in Brussels in a week.]

...Okay! I've never been good at this explaining thing, so I'm going to start with an introduction. Ahem...

I'm Neptune, and I'm a goddess. Oh, but not related to that one old guy around these parts, except by name. It's nice to meet you!

I'm not from this world, and I've been working my butt off trying to get back home since I got randomly dropped here a few months ago.

Anyways, you guys are always on the news doing big things, and I ran into a few of you before. Seems like a cool place to hang. So until I can find a way back, I'm gonna be sticking around! Let's all get along!

[A pause as her stomach rumbles.]



...

I could really use some pudding right now, though. That was a tough fight.

In the aftermath

[itbelongsinamuseum]

1 [Backdated to just after Crazy Little Things.]

[After the debriefing and cleaning up, Alex can be found returned to the scene of the battle overlooking the destruction of what used to be the museum of fine arts before taking a look up the hill to the royal palace, seeing some scarring from stray shots on it.]

So this is what protecting Flanders is? Give me a break...

2

[Making use of how operations has taken her back to Belgium, Alex took a day off to go back to Antwerp to visit her parents and reassure them that she was still well and catching up. That was yesterday, now she's getting back to the rest of Unity Group and something seems to be weighing on her mind. She's even so deeply in thought that she's watching a random chess championship in one of the break rooms.]

Beginning of a new world

[abugslife]

1. [An announcement, but one you can respond to through normal channels.]
The struggle is no more. The results of the Grand Vote are established, and all of Geb is united now in its support of ESUN, and Earth as a whole. The Anti Earthling Party is no more; I doubt the sentiments some of its members held will disappear overnight, but they are powerless to act on them. Only the worst scoundrel would go against the decision of the high council.

General Khaldun has returned to Geb, to command its defense force. Should he have any forces to spare, he will send them to Earth, to support your endeavours. For now, the only Gebian warrior remaining on the planet will be me, as before. Expect to see more visitors soon, however; scientists, engineers, traders, and just ordinary people seeking to see Earth with their own eyes. Talks about the exchange of goods and technologies are already underway; our people shall prosper together.

Never forget that all of this was possible because of you! You helped fight the invasions of AEP, and persuade undecided members of the council to support the PEP. High Commander Teremun caused much death to fuel his ridiculous ambition, and he would cause much more if he was not stopped. For your support, you have my thanks.

2. [Later, in her office, Hetepheres is looking at a photo. It looks fairly old, but it's hard to see what's on it without approaching her. And before any onlookers have a chance to do that, she suddenly throws it into the air, and, while it's floating down, fires a laser blast at it with her stuff! The photo is reduced to ashes. The general sits down on her chair, heavily.]

...It is finally over.
