[brought_it_back]

[There was a fairly generic member of the team that went on that jungle mission-or, that's what it looked like. The girl in question summoned some kind of crazy super robot, called Leos a liar, and had Ms. Norman all over her. She's still even got the third eye that old lady painted on her forehead.

She can be found wandering around the base, her right arm in a sling. Sometimes, she will visit the hangar and stare up at the new black robot that showed up to save her.]

Ah, that arm. You really were hurt, weren't you?

I'm sorry that you had to go through that.

[brought_it_back]

...who are you?

[jianai]

My name is Ren. Do you remember me, from the jungle?

[Ren looks at the black mecha.]

I asked around, wanting to know who piloted this. I learnt it was you.

[brought_it_back]

I remember.

...The doctor says my arm is fine, but I can't move it right yet...

[jianai]

Hmm.

[Ren ponders the details of what happened earlier.]

Your body is healthy, but your mind is hurt. At least, that's what I think what happened. I do not have any professional medical training, so that's the best I can come up with. Sorry.

[That ever-present smile takes an apologetic bent.]

But, if I may say one thing...

"You too, dude?" Dido asks.

[brought_it_back]

...I don't...understand...what you mean...

[actuallyselfish]

"Fell into the cockpit of a super robot and got guilt-tripped into fighting a war against a terrifying otherworldly enemy?" Dido clarifies.

Slowly, she reaches out and pats Eva's shoulder. "Same thing happened to me..."

[brought_it_back]

[Eva jerks away, avoiding the touch. There's a glint, and Dido will notice that with her good hand she's drawn a knife she had concealed on her somehow-but she puts it back away.]

No...It didn't...

I'm not...like you, Dido...

[actuallyselfish]

"Whoah!" Dido takes a few steps back. "Okay, Okay! You're not like me! Your circumstances are completely different!"

"Please don't shank me." She adds.

[break_the_nine]

You called me a liar.

[Leos spoke up close by her.]

Tell me why.

[brought_it_back]

...

[Eva looks him up and down-and then bolts, sprinting off in the opposite direction.]

[break_the_nine]

[Leos is quite unamused about this and runs after her.]

DAMMIT! ANSWER ME!!!

[brought_it_back]

[Eva keeps running, soon reaching a stairwell down. And instead of taking the normal route down, she leaps over the railing from one level to the next one down.]

I won't let you hurt me.

[break_the_nine]

Wait what?!

[Leos is going to look over the railing, okay seriously Eva what the fuck?]

[majestic_keiki]

[At the hangar, Eva would run into a tall, blond girl coming out of a very sleek, modern-looking purple robot.]

You were out there on that mission in South America, weren't you?...Just what happened out there?

[brought_it_back]

I...Don't really know...

[majestic_keiki]

I see...I hoped you could tell me, the report seemed really weird.

[brought_it_back]

Not really...Um...I really don't know that woman, though...

[majestic_keiki]

...What? What woman?

[cloningblues]

So your arm really got hurt after all.

[brought_it_back]

It certainly feels that way.

[cloningblues]

This kind of feedback a mech has on its pilot... I don't think I heard about any machines that do it to this extent. Where did you get it from?

[brought_it_back]

I really don't know...

[cloningblues]

You mean... You didn't even know you can summon it until now?
