[1] [It's a video transmission! Which shows a teenage boy, trying not to be tense and awkward and failing miserably. Also it's very obvious he's reading from offscreen.]

Is this on...? Unity Group, I should introduce myself. My name is Toshikazu Asagi. I am a member of Team Rabbits, and the pilot of the experimental AHSMB Blue One. My team was assigned to work with you after the recent operation, and... I hope we'll be able to repel aliens and other enemies as well as we did this day. We saved lots of people together.

...I'm not the team leader, but if you hae questions for any member of the team, you can find us all around easily enough. Let's work well together.

[He sighs in relief. That went better than expected, despite his stage fright! Suddenly Asagi realizes the camera is still going on and grabs the screen, cutting the signal. The transmission is over but he can still be easily reached, either via the comms or in person.]

This looks very good. I think I can get used to living like this! Just...

What are you doing in my room?

[Not restricted to just people he knows. Groups welcome too.]

[May runs into you a short while after the broadcast.]

...You did fairly well out there, Blue One. The same goes for the rest of your group.

[cloningblues]

Thanks. Hmm...

Oh yeah! You're the pilot of that green blocky mech, yes?

[smileys]

Merrygate. [She corrects semi-sternly.] Yes, that would be me.

I'm May Greenfield. Nice to meet you.

And I would've thought you were the group spokesperson too, if not for that bit at the end of that introduction.

[cloningblues]

If I were, I think I would shoot myself. Being a spokesman is hard. I have no idea how some people do that.

[smileys]

At least one of you will have to manage it, right?

A leader, in other words.

[cloningblues]

We already have a leader. You can tell which one; the one with the red machine, obsessed with playing a hero.

[smileys]

I would've thought it'd be the one with a 'One' in his callsign.

Well, I do see what you mean. The rest of you don't seem as enthusiastic about heroism, though.

[Her tone here implies that's not necessarily a bad thing.]

[cloningblues]

I think the numbers were assigned at random.

Well, I never asked to be a hero. I've been in the academy as long as I can remember, and now I started fighting for real. I never really had a choice in this matter.

[smileys]

Is there something else you would rather be doing, then?

[cloningblues]

I never really thought about this. It's not like I can do anything else.
