Afterwards, on Earth

[deathflag_survivor]

[So Shu's not the only new face at Fort Alhambra now.   There's two more machines that came back in addition to the Granzon... and these two also start with the letter G!  They're not as OP though... just a gray Gespenst that somehow's gotten in on the Halloween Plan refits and a red Gesterben that doesn't seem related to the other ones the team fought earlier in the operation.]

Never thought Mission Devil would lead to us working with the Unity Group, but then again stranger things have happened.  This is Second Lieutenant Albhard Bailaran of the ESUN's spec ops group Team Jelba.  My associates here are Second Lieutenant Selena Recital and her assistant robot, Elma.



A pleasure to work with you all, and thanks for showing up when you did.  Bought us a little more time before Shu arrived, time we might've not gotten otherwise.



Right.  We were investigating to confirm whether or not Shu Shirakawa had been killed or not, on account of no trace of the machine being found in the wake of its destruction at the hands of the Steel Dragons.  One way or another, we wound up being summoned to that other world -La Gias-, and it wasn't long before we met with some of your own people and then Shu himself.

According to the professor, he was resurrected by a man named Luozorl, though his memory is full of holes and there are also things he doesn't feel inspired to share.  In spite of that, his assistance in the battle and the cooperation he's given us have been taking into consideration by our superiors, and it's been decided he will remain under observation for the foreseeable future, with Lieutenant Recital and myself serving as his handlers.

Any suspicious behavior observed by Professor Shirakawa should be made known to us... but please refrain from antagonizing him.  I know some of you have prior history with Shu and some of you fought as members of the Steel Dragons, but the circumstances have changed.

Thank you for your cooperation.

(Albhard, Elma, and Selena can be tagged now or after this broadcast when they're milling around one place or another.)

That's some story. I wouldn't believe any part of it - if I wasn't there to see for myself.

I'm not saying this to be insulting, so please don't take it the wrong way, but.

How sure can you be that a famously untrustworthy genius isn't going to trick or outsmart you?

[Well, as Selene is wandering the corridors, probably trying to familiarise herself...]

Hello.

[There's... some teenager?]

They say the most incredible feature of the of the Mark 10 Deep Strike Drone is its high level heat sink. I think I can see some of it was inspired by you.

[Willis is keeping himself busy by checking out...the Gesterben.]

Wow, that's one nice looking machine.

[After the transmission a teenage girl approach you.]

What is this about another world?

Russel has been overseeing the repairs to his machine after the fight at the colony and was now taking a bit of time off and has heard about the new arrivals. Russel had fought Shu in the Divine War, he knows what the man can do. This did not sit well with him at all. However the new squad were people had had no issue with and came to check up on them.

"Good to have you with us. Russel Bagman formally of the Steel Dragons. I'm still trying to figure out how he's still here, Shu that is. We did not hold back at all when we brought him down..."

Raquel has taken in the intro from the new arrivals to the group and goes to meet them as she seeks out Selena whom when she catches sight of? Raquel gets a very big old grin on her face.

"So we never really got a chance to talk when we first met. You and your unit doing all right? It seems you were on just as much of a wild ride as we had gone on."

She does seem to be looking Selena over for a moment like she's sizing something about her up.

Resurrected? I wasn't aware Earthlings have technology that lets them bring the dead back to life. This is quite the amazing discovery.

[Katina's main concern is, of course, the new mechs, so Albhard and Selena are most likely to run into her in the Fort Alhambra hangar, trying to look like she isn't trying to scope out the Granzon.]

More Gespensts, huh? I recognize the IIM Custom, but what's this one...?
