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.]

You seemed to at least be familiar with the performer and reports have stated that you began to react before they had made fully public their intention to steal the Breaker units.

Do you have any additional information to share about that organization and their goals?

[whats_a_good_end]

Nothing, unfortunately. I just reacted the way anyone would when you hear gunshots in a base.

[broken_puppet]

You proceeded to arm yourself, gather research staff and make a solid escape attempt recovering one of the remaining prototypes during said attempt to then immediately assist with routing the terrorist forces?

[Lamia looks rather flatly at Ana.]

You have an unusual view on the average reaction.

And unusual capabilities for a test pilot on a UN development project.

[whats_a_good_end]

Considering I'm one of the people who helped test the Breakers, I'd think it'd make sense that I'd have a decent grasp of using them out there.

And whatever report you read must've gotten some facts wrong because I didn't have any kind of piece on me during any of that.

That makes your reaction to the attack on the base even more unusual. Many pilots would have moved to the hangars so quickly that they would have been caught in the original theft, remained hidden with the support staff, or fled on their own without the extra personnel.

You seem to have an unusual sense of priorities in your duty even despite your mechanical replacements which would make piloting that much more difficult to begin with. Depending on the situation it could make some hazards even more dangerous to you.

[whats_a_good_end]

I did try to stay hidden with the people in the medical wing! And when soldiers were coming through both of the normal entrances to the place we had to cut through the hangar to stay alive.

Seriously, pretty much everyone I knew and worked with just died and some... bloodthirsty ditz walked away with all the hardware I was trying to help develop. The third degree's not appreciated.

The information about what happened inside that facility and anything you can contribute to security in this and other facilities.

The casualties are unfortunate but the information is important to collate before too much is forgotten or incorrectly rebuilt.
