And then there's this nerd - LOCATION: Sakihama

[1 - Few days before the Anouncement]

I really don't get why I'm being put over here.

[Ryuichi is standing with a few bags talking to...what honestly could be confused for his mom considering how he's pouting like the first day of school. But it's not, she's coming off just a touch too condescending.]


"Now now, you promised to serve Romana and protect the Earth she loves however you could. These are the guys best suited to handle giving you those tasks."

I suppose...still though, shouldn't one of the more experienced guys be handling this?

"They've all got their own duties. You have everything you need so just make friends okay?"

[Little boy blue sighs, but smiles all the same. Really he's just anxious but the reassurance from his handler has him excited to meet his allies and see what sort of technology is around here. With a nod she leaves him to get situated by himself.]

[2 After de Anouncement]

[He didn't really catch most of it because he was wearing to his headphones, but the bit from Huffman caught his attention. He let out a nervous laugh, because seriously, what kind of joke is that.]

I hope that isn't how he usually does things.
I mean it's funny in retrospect, but I'm too young for a heart attack.
And so's the top guy from the sounds of it.

The blue hair boy might soon feel someone was looming behind him for a moment.

"I dunno I don't mind pranks like that it keeps you on your toes and in the words of an old sci-fi I saw. I don't want my atoms scattered all over creation anyhow!"

It seems Raquel is feeling a bit silly at the moment.

[streamedastar]

I think scattered atoms is a bit overkill for our enemies.
Maybe they'll eat us though.
That'd suck.

[fire_dancer]

"I'd not enjoy becoming food myself, I prefer to do the eating rather than being eaten."

[streamedastar]

I think most people feel that way.

[fire_dancer]

"You have a point, if someone did like it? They would be pretty darn messed up. So I have to ask are you pilot or on base support? No offence but you don't look like much of pilot to me. Then again the look of someone, could be lying."

[streamedastar]

I'm a pilot...technically. I mean...I have a robot. But it's not really in the hangar- you'll see when we go on mission probably.

[fire_dancer]

"What do you mean it's not in the hanger? What do you do grow to the size of a robot? Summon something with your Ki to form it?"

She sounds dead serious about these ideas.

[streamedastar]

Yes.

[fire_dancer]

"HA! That makes you stand out quite a bit then. If I could only yell come out Amazon Huckabine and my own machine would find me."

[glorystargo]

Or maybe he's not joking at all. Maybe it's a sincere warning masked as a joke because he's not allowed to give us a real one.

[streamedastar]

That doesn't seem much better than if he was joking.

[glorystargo]

Well I just came here from the other base through TSEN, and all my atoms are still in one place.

[streamedastar]

Really?
That thing actually works?

[glorystargo]

Why wouldn't it? I asked if the teleporter's working, they said go ahead, use it. So I'm here now.

[streamedastar]

I mean the concept is just...weird. I have trouble thinking about it being real.

[glorystargo]

Not the weirdest thing I saw in Unity Group. There are aliens and sentient robots, for crying out loud!

[streamedastar]

[Thinking over his powers]

Yes, I guess there's no room to be picky is there.

[glorystargo]

But man, that commander sure is a joker. Looks like they're taking the whole thing pretty lightly, huh.

[streamedastar]

I guess so. Although the fact this is the guy overseeing the base I'm in suddenly makes this feel like I won't be getting much sleep.

[glorystargo]

Come on, what's the worst thing that can happen?

[streamedastar]

Have you ever heard the story of "The boy who cried wolf"?

[glorystargo]

Oh boy. Not the kind of karma this group needs, and just after it was set up, too!

[streamedastar]

Yeah.
I'm hoping he keeps things straight.
