[After the defense of the Macross as it tried to return, Alex hung around the hangar back on base for a while rather than going to get changed immediately. Mostly she seemed to have just stopped in place, lost in thoughts.]

So...Did Enki lie to me, did Enlil half-assedly cheat or does Humbaba mean something else entirely?

...Just drop it. We haven't talked in ages and that's what we end up talking about?...Right, we should. Goodbye.

[Alex was just on the phone with somebody and it didn't go well. She looks quite angrily at the poor, innocent piece of consumer electronics even after hanging up. Her expression quickly slumps slightly, though, the anger fading away.]


I should have guessed that.

The opportunity I just mentioned... For the people of Paradigm, opening up to the outside world just might be it. And I want to make sure nobody will take that opportunity away.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

Right. Even if it might bring a whole lot of new problems with it.

Life will always find ways to throw new problems at us. It's up to one to decide how to deal with them.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

It could ease up for a bit. We've got plenty already.

[a_louse]

We're not the ones who set the stage, unfortunately. All we can do is try to play the roles that were given to us.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

I know. It just seems like the world is getting overloaded as it is.

[a_louse]

Humans are natural born survivors. We won't be overloaded that easily.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

Of course not.

...It's just getting a bit much all at once.
