There he went...

I... I don't even know what to think about all of that. I'm not even sure how much of what I'm remembering really happened. It was like one of those dreams that seems too vivid to have been a dream, if that makes any sense at all. It was power and energy and... I don't even know! And listen to me fucking rambling on like I'm being introspective ~~even if that's what's happening.~~

[Private, hackable, moreso to others on the mission]
And then that thing. It looked... felt like some kind of Getter. I think everyone was just about ready to turn around and run, even after we'd just beat down a couple of guys that could've normally taken on the whole GDF. Except Ryouma. He didn't even flinch. I always figured he was one of the crazier guys on base, probably certifiably nuts, but I never realized just how impossibly determined he was. In some ways, we should probably all aspire to being a little more like Rouma.

Just smarter.

Which is probably a lost cause for me anyways.

Honestly? I think this calls for a celebration. Sucks that he'll miss his own party, but hell, he offered to buy us all drinks. We'll just keep a tab, in case he manages to finish that thing off while we're still alive.

On top of all that, I got an idea for another upgrade for my Gespenst. I have no damn clue how we're gonna make this work, which is where you come in.

Mid-Skip Post!

( Guess I should cut it... )

Hey Zoe! I have some things to talk about.

It's mech-related. ~~Which should get her attention faster than any official orders...~~

Even more dead guys! What the hell?

*With a sizable gash in her leg, a badly broken left hand, and an eye swollen too much to see with it, Katina should probably still be getting medical attention. Fortunately no one noticed her taking a little extra pain killer and slipping out of the tent.

Someone might notice that she isn't taking any breaks ever, working on a buried bit of the dorms.*

C'mon... someone might still be there...

HEY! HELP'S HERE! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME YELL BACK AND WE'LL FIND YOU!

Katinangst

*Katina hasn't been seen out of her room yet today.*

[Private, Hackable]

Damn... ya know, today's bad enough for me already... but then Viral being a dick... so many of my men during the DC War, gone, and then Kira and Shiro at the same time... and a bunch of people on base doing badly because of it. It's just too damn much sometimes. Like one day the universe just decided to hate me-no, not just me, everyone here.

People are plenty confident that Kira and Shiro might be okay, but I've seen guys like them, and a guy can only almost die so many times before his luck runs out, and this time people saw both mechs getting totaled. Kira, Kusuha, Shinji... all these kids who just shouldn't be here and are for the stupidest reasons, and I can't do a damn thing about it.

What am I even doing here? All I do is brag and yell at people, and it's not like I've been anything special in battle. All these kids with crazy powers and mechs are gonna end up having to protect me at this rate, and I don't want any of them getting hurt for something like that.

I'm not leaving... yet... but I've gotta do something about this. ~~Ingram... how much of this is his fault? I don't even want to count how many laws he's broken~~

[/Private]

So... taking bets. How long till the Aerogaters make their next big move? I'm giving it two weeks.

Wham!

*While seeing Katina in the gym at a given time wasn't an uncommon site - she was often improving herself when she wasn't forcing the younger pilots to do so - it's doubtful that anyone here had seen her attack a punching bag so vehemently. Her pace and force against the speed bag picked up quickly, until with a single powerful and seemingly rage-filled punch, one of the seems popped, synthetic sand pouring out over the gym floor.*

~~Stupid furball... imagining his stupid spiky face... on the bag...~~

[[Backlogged Pre Sat. Mission]] Mao's "You Really Did Get Well Soon" Party

*In accordance with Katina's plans with Mao for a get well "party" (booze fest), Katina sought others who would be interested. Mao suggested Dingo and Excellen, and Katina had earlier promised Viral alcohol for the bruising. Anyone else who would drink with a crew like that was welcome to tag along.

It is now the day after a night of drinking. Oh joy.*

Alright everyone! Just because Sgt. Major Mao is gonna be laid up in the infirmary for a while doesn't mean that all you punks she was dealing with get a break! Kamille Bidan, Coop Cooplowski, Shinji Ikari, Riki Makishi, Kusuha Mizuha, Garrod Ran, Akito Tenkawa, and Kira Yamato, you'll all report to the gym at 0530 just like you have been! Any of you punks try to get away and I'll deal with you myself! Don't show up late and don't complain!

Oh, and be ready for the sims after we're done. I want to see what Dingo Egret has taught all of you.

-

*The very next morning, Katina arrived outside the gym at 0510 in sweatpants and tank top, with arms crossed and a sour expression. Off to the side was some sort of small truck, it's bed full of something the poor fools wouldn't recognize unless they looked in.*

Introductions

[[Private, hackable to people who know Ryuusei]]
That Date kid must be kind of an oddball to turn into a Zonder like that. Hope he's not gonna compete with me if a new mech arrives on base... I'll have to put him in a wrist lock until he gives it up!
[[/private]]

So I met a few of you when I first arrived on base, and a few more of you when I went on my first mission, but Ingram said that I needed a proper introduction to you guys, so here I am. As long as you guys don't get too out of line and don't try to mess with me I think this is gonna work out pretty well.

My first mission with the EDF was great since I got to shoot down a bunch of Aerogator bugs, even if the big boss was some sort of special deal for the giant carpenter or whatever he was, with that kid stuck inside of it. I've read a few reports, but if anyone can give a better idea of what the hell all that was I'd appreciate it.

- Rookies and Newbies: Mao's got a lot of the trouble cases and I don't have a schedule yet, but I'm going to drag you into the simulators one way or another. If anyone wants it come and get it.
[[Filtered to Melissa Mao]]Melissa, send a few kids my way![[/filter]]
[[Filtered to Viral]] I don't know how much experience you have but I'll take you on with mechs or hand to hand or whatever any time, so come get some![[/filter]]

- Fellow Pilots: I've been piloting my Gespenst for a while, and as nice as it was when I got it, and as good as its been to me, it's also getting pretty damned old. I know you've got all your fancy custom units that you're assigned to, and Ingram said he's not reassigning anyone right now, but the brass be damned if any of you wuss out and can't handle your mechs, give them to me. Pronto. Or I'll be taking them.

- Anyone else who drinks: I'm totally new to Tokyo, and I know some of you have been here for a while, so I know you have to have found a good bar or two. Anyone who can match my schedule for a day off should show me around and we can go get a few drinks. "A few" being pretty damned relative. Thanks in advance.

New Arrival

*A transport plane seemingly like any other lands. The hatch opens up, and out come the supplies, as well a few personnel rotations. However, along with these comes something big and red... a Gespenst Mk-II M ((http://mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/rpt-007-katina.jpg)), the size of a somewhat tall mobile suit and painted bright red. Alongside it is a woman, with curious blond hair and two different colored eyes, wearing red as well. She'd be somewhat pretty if it weren't for the withering scowl she wore on her face.*

Hey, pal! Watch out, don't wreck my Gespenst or I'll make you run a hundred laps around this whole damn base! Watch that... Watch the antenna, I need that to talk to people, do you WANT me to get killed or something?!

*She stalks off towards the base, muttering and seething, knowing that she really can't make the transport crew run laps... at least not with so many people around.*

Damned EDF, can't hire anyone competent... gonna ruin my Gespenst and then what good am I, am I supposed to just ask the marauding aliens to kindly leave us alone?! Better be some good mechanics here, and they better not be fucking lazy.
