First Alien Genocide

[kill_all_vagans]

[In the wake of the defense and successful retreat at Nora, there's a new mobile suit and ship making their residence at the Star Rose.  And also a new pilot for that mobile suit too, who's admittedly a little, well...]

[Video]

I don't think in all the craziness there was a proper introduction.  And now that it's over, well...

I'm Flit Asuno.  I was the one who designed and oversaw the development of the Gundam AGE-1, and even though I didn't intend on piloting it, that's changed.  Everyone who was out there, thank you for helping save the people of Nora.  I'm not sure where they're going to go now, but I know I'm going to stay here.  Stay with the Unity Group.

Commander Bruzar was right when he said I needed to concern myself with saving many lives.  That's what the Gundam's built for too... and it lived up to that goal!  The UE, the Vagans... anyone else... humanity won't lose to them!

Well... I wasn't exactly there, but I wanted to tell you - Flit-kun, was it?

You are very brave to have done what you did.
[And very young.]

[break_the_nine]

That's good. People on Earth have too many problems already. Killing all the bad aliens will save us a lot of grief.

[smileys]

[There is only one thing May will ask here.]

...Are you sure?

[kill_all_vagans]

If I don't, I'll spend my entire life regretting it. I've spent the past seven years trying to prepare for the UE's attack, and now that it's come and gone, they won't be appearing again for another seven years.

And they're not the only threat to humanity.

[kill_all_vagans]

[Aha! A kindred spirit!]

More than that... they're the real enemy! Whatever conflicts people might have with each other, groups like the UE won't care at all, they'll try to kill everyone!

If I could forgive you for using "Virgola", I can forgive you for this

[kill_all_vagans]

Anyone who got in the AGE-1 could have done what I did.

The brave one out there was Commander Bruzar.

[star_of_sad]

You designed AGE-1 in the first place. I don't think anyone could have done that.

You're right, we can't let humanity lose to aliens like the ones out there.

[break_the_nine]

I know! But some people are just too stupid to see that. They're too busy fighting over things like money or territory or ownership rights.

But all it'll get is less people for the aliens to kill because they're already dead, and whatever shiny thing they wanted is going to be gone anyway!

[cloningblues]

Commander Bruzar... It sounds like you knew him well.

[kill_all_vagans]

I did. He...

After my mother died in the attack on Ovan, he was the one who took me in. He was the closest thing to a father I've ever had.

[kill_all_vagans]

Some of them are...

But there's still us. And the fact we could fight them like we did at Nora proves we can hold our own, drive back the UE and the Wulgaru and any other group that wants to kill people!

[kill_all_vagans]

And fortunately, we won't have to let them get their way any more out there.

Even if we lost a colony... even if we lost Commander Bruzar... if we could stand up to alien invaders like that, fight them like we did...

We don't have to be afraid of them any more!

[smileys]

It won't be easy. I'm sure you know that.

If it's what you want though, I don't think anyone here will stop you. In fact, with your skills you'd be helpful in more ways than one.

[break_the_nine]

That's right. As long as we're here, anybody who thinks they can just walk in and hurt people are going to regret it!

People... people who don't care about innocent lives and hurt them just because they don't care or because they find it amusing...

They're the absolute worst!

[star_of_sad]

We don't have to be afraid...

[That sounds so familiar.]

Yes. I definitely agree.

[gold_four]

...Wait, wait, wait.

You built your own mecha?!

[Consider Ataru impressed.]

[kill_all_vagans]

Not entirely on my own... Commander Bruzar did a lot to help encourage it and gave me the resources to make it a reality.

[kill_all_vagans]

Then I'll see about helping in more ways than one. The AGE Builder's creations aren't always going to be the most practical-

[Hello beam pizza cutter.]

-But if they can be studied there's always reverse-engineering them into something more practical. Mobile Suit technology's lagging behind compared to things like the Gespenst and... well honestly everything else behind it. The AGE System could wind up at least giving it a direction to evolve in.

[gold_four]

Still! Most people, and that's a very small selection of people, have to go through getting degrees and doctorates and stuff...

I'm impressed. Flit, right?

[smileys]

And quickly, too.

I've never seen something pop out weapons like that before.

[kill_all_vagans]

[Well that was something weird to say.]

... Are you okay though? Did something bad happen to you before you joined the Unity Group?

[kill_all_vagans]

Those who do that aren't people though... there's just... no way anyone with a conscience could do that.

[kill_all_vagans]

The AGE Builder's what makes the AGE-1 so special. The AGE Device-

[That little doo-dad he showed you back on Nora, which he pulls out again.]

Can gather and process large amounts of combat data and relay it to the Builder. And while out there it was working on solving how to best breach the armor of a UE suit.

I'm lucky the beam dagger could pierce through it though, if it hadn't the development might've taken too long.

[kill_all_vagans]

That's me.

[And he does feel a swell of pride from all of this.]

It helps that my family's had a history of developing and designing robots. I could go back into family journals for inspiration and information too.

[gold_four]

Eeeeh? That's a pretty awesome family to have. Wonder if mine was ever like that at all...
