(Michael and Julieta brush themselves down after that particular problem...)
...Sir, how do you know this guy again?
Long story, Julieta.
(Leos has just happened upon Cross)
(And Sthesia is with him, as per.)
Hey, Cross.
What's up?

-Aichi is going to go see if Leos or Sthesia are near the Extreme Gundam (Slowly, but surely Aichi's almost sort of getting close to managing to keep his awkwardness around her somewhat less noticeable.), but he notices Cross... Oh, Leos and Sthesia are with him!-
"Cross, Leos, Sthesia!"
-Aichi approaches him... What's Cross looking at?-
-You can probably tell Aichi's curious, Cross.-

...Well, damn.
What?
The note: "If you need me, you throw me away. If you're done with me, you take me back." The answer was an anchor! ...What if that landmark is near a ship?
...Like the one we investigated with that robot and Richards?
Yeah, probably.
Your backup?
(Sthesia waves to Aichi)

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human.""A rudimentary portable computer. Touch display, too. No offense but I'm surprised, judging from...your attire."
"Yup. One dependable weapon modder and the best Skell techie I know. L's got this shop going where he can add customization options onto gear, and Alexa...well, she knows her way around a giant robot."
Nice.
You sure it's going to be enough?
..So now we just have to find the others. I'm gonna make a note of the anchor clue, just in case.
Hard to believe we got called out here for a scavenger hunt, Sir.
Yeah, tell me about it.
(Both Thunderbolt and Reiter Armour wearers head further into the forest.)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Outside (Aichi)
-Aichi can't help but get a bit sheepish at Sthesia waving at him. He starting to sort through his awkwardness (so long as she doesn't surprise him and isn't too close to him), but he's still a little awkward around her regardless.-
"I-It sounds like your friends are really trustworthy!"
-He's happy that they're finally getting backup. Even if he knows Leos and the Extreme Gundam are strong he still believes that back up is extremely vital (Especially considering he has a better idea of what the Phase Packs are like now).-
-there is something in the wind, some of the shadows are becoming lighter, where other areas become darker-
-and the presence of a mist among some of the bushes-
-if they were outside their suits, they'd feel cold, and any readings on outside temperature have spiked downwards in cold-
-only briefly though, for but a few seconds-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post"Interesting..."
"Probably. Oi, guys!"
-The large vehicles stop a few feet from Cross's own Skell-
-One is a smaller, lighter model with clearly more agility than Cross's-
-But the other has even more weapons than Omega does-
-Out of the Skells climb a blue-skinned alien
and a young lady with reddish-brown hair
-
"Ah, Cross. It is quite pleasant to see you again. It has taken some time, hasn't it?"
"Been, L. Been some time."
"So...these the guys with the rogue Skell problem?"
Uh, yeah. You could say that. Leos Alloy, pilot of the Extreme Gundam.
Sthesia Awar, Holoactor and technical support for Leos here.
Hmmm...
Do we split up, Sir?
I don't think that's a good idea. ...Let's check the group in the northeast first.
(sighs) We could get it done faster if we split up.
Yeah, well...
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."

"Not a lot of it on your planet, huh?"
