Questions Unanswered

[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.

[actuallyselfish]

"You too, dude?" Dido asks.

[brought_it_back]

...who are you?

[brought_it_back]

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

[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.

"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]

I remember.

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

[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...

[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!!!

[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...

[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?

[cloningblues]

So your arm really got hurt after all.

"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.

[brought_it_back]

You may.

[jianai]

I am really grateful that you were out there. Thank you.

[brought_it_back]

Sorry, I...didn't mean to...

I just...you startled me...

[brought_it_back]

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

[brought_it_back]

It certainly feels that way.

[brought_it_back]

You're welcome...though, I didn't...

[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.

[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...

[actuallyselfish]

"...how about we start over?"

Dido extends an open hand.

"I'm Dido Sybil. And you are–?"
