"..."
Sarah's got a companion as she wanders around the base one sunday-a small, bright-eyed boy sitting on her shoulders, who wastes no time in asking about everything.
"Hey, mom, what's that for?" He asks, pointing at a kirby-esque bit of machinery gathering dust in the back of the hangar.
"Neutron Polarizer, it lets you reverse the polarity of the neutron flux." she replies, perfectly deadpan.
"You just made that up!"
"Nope."
Jacob pouts briefly, before pointing over at someone else.
"Hey, mom, who's that? Are they an alien too? Or a demon?"
"...Man, you couldn't have just asked to go to the park, could you..."

Eventually, the appointed time comes, and Sarah and Jacob arrive at the chosen place. Children and their parents are playing in the park, people are walking their dogs, and some college students are playing disc golf. Percival stands some feet away from Sarah, by the side of the road. Seraphina waits in the driver's seat of his car, the engine running.
Sarah motions for Jacob to take his things and go to the car, but he does not move until she gently pushes him on the back. He gets in the car, and soon Seraphina's driving away.
Sarah watches her go, and sighs.
"Man, do we really gotta do this..."

"How you doing, Sarah? And that little squirt at your side's Jacob, right?"

Re: 1
Yeah, he is. [Sarah picks Jacob up off her shoulders and sets him down, where he pouts briefly.]
Jacob, this is Dido. Dido, Jacob.
Hey, Miss Dido, what do you do? Are you a superhero?

Re: 1
Mechanic? Grease-monkey? Mecha-Engineer? But she also pilots a super robot, so that'd make her a...
"...Techwarrior!" Dido proclaims. "I protect the planet with that beast over there–!"
She points at ShelLancer. "–and make sure everyone else's machines get repaired! I don't have superpowers like your mom, though."

Re: 1
Nah, that's totally a real military rank.
Fine...Hey, do you know any stories about my mom? She doesn't talk about being a superhero much...

Re: 1
All Dido can think about were the times Sarah was trying to kill Volya. And then that one time.
"Once," She begins, deepening her voice, "I saw your mother use her kung fu on a really freaky enemy–Arch-Duchess Lilica, Demon of the Black Garden!"
"Yeah," she continues, gesturing wildly, "The Unity Group was rescuing some hostages from a terrorist group, when SHE ambushed us, leading an army of...Skull Knights! We thought we were goners...but then your mom stepped in!"
