So much for just being a test pilot...

[whats_a_good_end]

[1]

[In the wake of the massacre at the Yukon base and the theft of... pretty much everything of value associated with the Breaker program, Ana's just trying to piece everything together.  There's debriefing and internal affairs people asking why she hadn't been with the others and a lot of exhausting things to go through after a day that was already plenty exhausting.

[And then someone finally let her look at the death toll.]

Mechanics, pilots... project heads and even the top eggheads...

[Of course the death toll would be like that.  Legato's men and women had just slaughtered everyone in-person at their little performance.  One that had specifically been arranged to celebrate the completion of the Breaker program...]

We went through all of that, buried so many of our own, finished our jobs... and then this!

[2] (frontdated a few days)

[There's a new pilot being transferred to the Unity Group.  She's not thrilled about this -she's a test pilot, not a combat one- but the theft of the Breakers has sorta convinced some of the upper brass she'd do more good here than helping try to salvage the whole program.  But, as she comes in to Fort Alhambra, wheeling a cart behind her with her clothes, guitar, and a few other things... she's got something else on her preoccupying her.]

-And that white-haired girl at the Yukon's a monster too?  And it's not just the Autobots... but there's a Wulgaru princess helping us?  And we might share some genetic ancestor with them?

... And that blue-haired girl from before is ANOTHER princess?!?

[In short: being just a member of the vanilla ESUN locks you out of the loop about some things.]

-And this person's "kin" want to eat them to become immortal?!?

[A lot of things.]

-And Shu Shirakawa was somehow ALIVE?  And he had some talking pet bird?!?

[A whole lot of things.]

... And the cat thing just has to be someone messing with me!

[It's gonna be one hell of an adjusting period.]

There are clone soldiers and an elf princess too.

And I think the cats are real, I've seen them around, even if I've never talked to them myself.

[whats_a_good_end]

I've seen them around a bit myself... at least the one. It was odd at fist... but... well, as far as cats -or people in general- go I've had to deal with worse.

(Sorry about that. Really needed a break from everything for a few days.)

It's still pretty weird to meet talking cats, even if they're nice and sensible.

Then again, weird is the normal here. Ordinary soldiers seem to be a minority.

[whats_a_good_end]

Well, from the looks of it a lot of unconventional people can still help a lot in battles, and it might be awkward trying to enlist them in conventional forces.

Having something like the Unity Group is one way of addressing that, I guess.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

Yeah, I guess. It does seem to be what it was made for...But that still doesn't change that it is far weirder than anything I thought existed...I'm part of that, by the way.
