(Michael looks over Missy's chassis) Hmmm... I wouldn't say that, exactly. But it is kinda cute in a weird way.


..Aichi? You're with Leos? I'm glad. (sighs) I'm afraid we might have a situation.

What? Sthesia—

I'll tell you once I'm on the other side. And Leos? I've got a large gift coming through for you.

(She smiles before the projection cuts out. And from that, it takes Leos 2 seconds to realise he should probably be stepping back.)

Hey, Aichi? You might want to step back a little...

Well that's a new one for the books.

But I'm unavailable.

One, because I'm an A.I

Two, because I'm a celebrity A.I.

Three because my producers would kill you.

And most importantly four- I don't even know your name!

Outside (Aichi)

-Huh? A large gift for Leos...?-

"H-Huh? O-Oh. All right..."

-Aichi starts stepping back... although he has no idea how far. He keeps track of how far Leos is going to back up for the sake up having an idea. Leos seems like he might have an idea of what's going to be arriving after all...-

Ugh. First of all, alright, I wasn't flirting with you.

Two, my name is Sir Michael Tapferin, Specialist-Captain of Gjallarhorn's Inspection Bureau.

And three, if he seriously thinks he can kill me just because he thought I was asking you out, then he's obviously got problems!


(He's getting pretty far away, Aichi. About 50 steps back, so he must be making sure...)

I dunno- calling a robot "cute" is pretty flirty, technophile Michael.

Also, you seem to be under the impression that I was made by an individual.

There's two corporations that are my producers and managers.

Outside (Aichi)

-Aichi's rather concerned about just what could end up appearing through this star gate thing, but Aichi keeps himself from being distracted and hastily follows Leos since he trusts his judgement.-

"Y-You know what's going to come through, then?"

You don't know how tempted I was to make him trip.

Wait, what? (facepalm) Ok, look, I'm sorry for assuming, but people don't generally kill to protect celebrities from hopeless suitors!

And don't call me a technophile.


Uh, yeah, I have an idea...

(Before long, something jumps out of the gate's shimmering portal. It flew into the air pretty highly at a ridiculous speed, but somersaulting and hurtling back down. Before it hits, however, boosters built into its legs and backpack fire, breaking the fall and allowing it to land more-or-less successfully.)

(Look, Aichi, it's a Gundam!)

I always wanted an excuse to say that in FG!

Outside (Aichi)

-Aichi's beyond shocked.-

"EHHHHHHH?!"

-He knows that Leos told him that he pilots giant robots, but he didn't expect he'd ever get to see one with his own eyes...-

-... Oddly enough it reminds him of cards some of his friends use. He briefly thinks of the Dimension Police clan*... but he's so caught up in what's happening it kind of just falls to the side. He's currently trying to figure out what to say in response to this.-

"I-Is this is one of the robots you pilot, Leos?!"

*An example of a Dimension Police card in case anyone is curious: Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha.

(Michael just rolls his eyes)

Just stop already.


Well, yeah. Say hello to the Extreme Gundam. Or, at least, one of them.

(The massive Gundam in question rests on its knees and it sounds like it's powering down... Before a familiar face opens up the cockpit and pops out to call out.)

Hey, Leos!

Gah— Sthesia!?

Lighten up, geez.

There's nothing even wrong with being a technophile, y'know!

Plenty of people out there, and a welcoming community.

People only look at you funny when you like mutants.

Outside (Aichi)

-Aichi heard Leos, but he's just a bit too dumbstruck to say much more. He's still staring at the Extreme Gundam. He barely registers that Sthesia got out of the cockpit.-

"..."

-Come on, Aichi! Snap out of it! ...It might take a little bit for him to snap out of this... It's not like he's scared or anything now that it's not moving, but this thing is a REALLY big robot and... he didn't expect to see anything like this.-

Mutants?

(Like the ones that Franklin mentioned?)


What are you even doing here? Aren't you—? I— Wasn't it set on autopilot?!

(Sthesia climbs down before responding.)

It was. I just couldn't risk the information getting out.

What information?! I— ...Uh, Aichi?

Yeah- because like. All of them are Outlanders, really. And Outlanders are horrible people. Some of them are cannibals, all of them are barbarians as they say.

-Aichi's still a little spaced out, but he manages to snap out of it when Leos says his name...-

"H-Huh?"

-It takes him a couple seconds to realize he had pretty much zoned out after the Gundam appeared.-

"S-Sorry... I just... I didn't expect that..."

-He then notices Sthesia. He's seeing her in person!-

"Sthesia! I didn't expect to see you either!"

Sounds like you have it pretty bad back home.


It's nice to meet you too, Aichi! (She curtseys out of politeness.)

So, what's this about?

...It's about what High Command told me.

-Aichi gets a little surprised and bows in response.-

"N-Nice to meet you."

-Anyway... High Command said something? About what? Leos's job as a G-Diver?-

"I-Is it about Leos's situation?"

-He hopes they haven't decided to write him off... While Aichi is still quite uncertain of everything Leos did back home he still can imagine that it's all very important to Leos.-

Not me, personally. I live in the cities.

Everyone flesh and blood has it pretty rough though, I guess! I mean. Unless you're in a big corporation.

But definitely outside the cities it's worse.

It's all irradiated wasteland. Just us high-tech civilised people in our cities- and the Outlanders who live out there in the wastes...

Sure people claim they have more freedom out there than we do in the cities, but they also have more mutants and cannibals!

And what was so important that you couldn't tell me over comms?

(sigh) Someone stole one of the other prototypes. As well as a few Phase Packs.

(Uh-oh.)


That raises a few questions.

-A prototype and Phase Packs? He's not sure what Phase Packs are and he doesn't really have an idea about proto— wait, could they mean another one of those giant robot things? Like the Extreme Gundam? Aichi can imagine that it would definitely be a bad thing if something like that happened...-

"A-A prototype... Do you mean like this..."

-Aichi can't recall the name of the mobile suit due to being so spaced out before...-

"... giant robot? That someone stole something like it?"

Like what exactly happened for your society to get this... withdrawn?


(she nods solemnly before continuing) Yes, Aichi. I'm not sure why but whoever took the prototype Gundam were very good at hiding their tracks.

Well, that's not good...

There's more. High Command seem to think whoever did this may have interest in this place, here.

...Seriously?!

It was some kind of nuclear disaster in the 23rd century I think.

Records aren't clear. Some think it's a war, some think it was nuclear power gone too far... France is just a complete wasteland. No-one except Outlanders live there.

But on the other hand, we do still have contact with Mars!

-That's not good. At all. At first Aichi wonders just what someone would want with this place, but after brief consideration he realizes that this place is such an enigma with so many inexplicable happenings that it might just be of interest to someone out there... Who knows what kind of trouble someone could cause?-

"So... they might be interested in this place..."

-Aichi thinks this sounds very serious. What could be done about this?-

"W-What can we do?"

-Aichi doubts he can truly be of help to either Leos or Sthesia, but he still wants to try to help somehow.-

Much-needed allies, then?


Actually... I was hoping that Leos's Gundam here would be enough.

Uh, Sthesia, I don't mind you having faith in me and all, but what about Keith and Themis? Can't they help?

Yeah, about that... did you check the gate recently?
