Hello. My name is Latooni Suvota, and I'm here from a...version of Earth, I guess. I can pilot, and I'm also a specialist at processing combat data.

......

That's it, really.

[A young girl is quietly wandering around the city - it could be the Docks, the Foundry, or the Grand Library - looking around curiously at all the strange new technology (probably) and other information. It also almost seems like she's looking for someone as well.]

[None of this would be terribly noteworthy if she wasn't wearing a ridiculously impractical frilly outfit everywhere.]

Excuse me. I'm looking for some friends...do you know a girl named Seolla? Or anyone else who might have mentioned an "Earth Federation" or "Personal Troopers"? I'm not sure if they've come here yet, but...

[It's battle time, and some huge ungodly siege engine of a machine is giving everyone some trouble outside the walls. An ungainly-looking plane dances above it, evading anti-aircraft fire and occasionally returning a long-range potshot with a guided missile.]

[Shortly into the fight, when the Qin(?) machine seems to be more or less invulnerable, a girl's voice comes over radio communication, along with a data transmission.]

I've completed analysis on the enemy. I'm sending you the targeting data for its weak points. We have to hit them as hard as we can before it has a chance to self-repair!

[Sure enough, the Wildraubtier's beam attacks seem to be causing more damage by hitting different arbitrary points on its armor...or it might be because she's started cutely yelling out "MEGA BEAM RIFLE!". Follow her lead?]

[Something literally magical and/or completely ridiculous just happened. Latooni seems to be trying to analyze it, but...]

That's...er...what did you just do?! And why?

I did something that only that stupid Arado would do, that's what! [ Seolla's hardly the reckless type, but even she can pull a surprising move every now and again. ] Don't tell me you still took damage from that blast. I won't be happy to hear my sacrifice was for naught, you know!

That was the reaction I was hoping for

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I-I'm fine! Just don't do that again! Please!

Then ~success~

[aceattacker]

Come on! One of us has to adapt to the role of idiot until he shows up, you know. Unless you're wanting to fill in the shoes yourself?

Then by all means!

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Seolla...

...he'll make it eventually.

[aceattacker]

I know that, geez! He could hurry it up a bit, but I have no choice but to be patient. Figures he'd be late. Figures he'd be the one to make a grand appearance. I bet he'll show up when we're overwhelmed with that goofy smile of his and...

[ She's not taking the loss of her other too well. ]

Ugh---!! Why are we talking about him?!

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Because we miss him. And that's okay.

[aceattacker]

I don't miss him!

I just miss having a partner! Anyone can fill his role, you know. I'll have that stupid bushy commander assign one to work with me, that's all!

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Seolla...

[aceattacker]

[ Calming down just a bit. ]

You can be my partner instead. How about that?

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I'd love to be. And when he gets here, it'll be the three of us together, right?

[aceattacker]

Right, the three of us! We'll be unstoppable and everything!
