-nods- Point is, I don't really have a mom.

It's just me, the 10 siblings, the house servants and him.

No mom in the picture.

(she doesn't notice... she's like super engrossed in this match, even if it's just the loading screen)

(she's gearing to play...)

Y'know how to play Halo? Or shooters.

(though, Sav, you hear a few grainy voices through the mic's earpiece)

(it's hard to hear, but you swear you made out the words "dipshit boner")

Not really? The maids and butler- they kinda filled the roles that dad couldn't.

I always had company too. In fact I'd almost say too much company- which is weird when you live in a mansion with fifteen well-sized bedrooms.

...Huh.

I guess I can see what you mean. I pretty much grew up with the other potential heirs to the Seven Stars. We all pretty much lived on the same island anyway.

-nods- Yeah... Besides.

I don't know what we'd even do if we had a mom at this point- all of us are above ten. Most of our memories are a single dad and lots of servants.

Mm.

(sigh)

Well, I had a bit of a delay with getting it properly tested, because a giant called Laura had accidentally broken it. And surprisingly enough, Cloud actually sped up the repairs significantly, so now it's just a matter of time before I lock onto something... once I get the settings sompletely calibrated.

-smiles a little bit-

Either way- I don't look forward to fighting Circe again... though we should be able to do better next time, eh Aelfi?

We've blunted our teeth on her, so now we can sharpen up- and make the next bite count. And dodge the arrow that she calls the Loom of- whatever it is she said.

(Michael is just about ready to send out the first test signal)

Well... if I can get a Mobile Suit down here, we'd have a significant increase in firepower.

Which ought to make it easier for us.

-nods- More firepower the better. Though... Y'know- I'm not sure how many people would choose a battle that they'd obviously lose.

Except you, Johnny.

Excuse you?

I see you on strategy games.

Well- strategy games aside.

I'm not sure how she'll respond if we bring down one of your- Mobile Suits.

Yeah. If she still does show- it's probably because she underestimates the power, or we underestimate her power.

Liman is in the living rooms sitting on a couch, bandaged from shoulder to chest and happily reading away a book on a nondescript fantasy story.

Well, I guess we'll have to find out.

(Presses the button which sends out the test signal. Johnny might be able to see the message breifly on the transmitter rig's screen:

Code 72: Seven Stars Member calling for assistance. Member in question is Inspection Bureau Officer, Specialist-Captain Michael Tapferin. Local co-ordinates are to follow.)

...Now, all we have to do is wait.

And the waiting is the boring part.

Why did I have to end up in this age of information? Why couldn't I wake up earlier when there was less waiting?
