[After a long period of looking over and studying the features of this strange book-shaped PDA, Latooni decides it's time to actually use it.]

[A young girl's face defined largely by glasses, a serious expression, and somewhat poofy lavender hair looks out, addressing the network politely.]

Hello. My name is Latooni Suvota. I'm a member of the Earth Federation Army from...well, Earth. I was contacted by a Valkyrie and brought here to help with your fight.

My specialties are piloting and data analysis, so if anyone has a need for help with that please contact me.

And...um, well, if anyone else from the EFA is here, could you...contact me too please?

Thank you for your time.

[There's a split second of the girl flopping backwards from the camera at the end of the feed before it cuts out. That might be the longest self-introduction she's ever done.]

After the first batch, that sounds about right. There were at least 20 of us at first, and it's grown since then.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I see...

[Well, a couple dozen people have saved worlds before, more or less.]

How many pilots are there? I guess I should offer to join if there's an organized squadron...

[second_destiny]

Um, we're...still working on that.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Well...consider this an offer to join when you have one, then.

[second_destiny]

[Still, he's a little unsure...]

...Can I ask how old you are?

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Well...about fourteen or fifteen, as far as I know.

[second_destiny]

As far as you know?

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I don't remember very much of my early life, but that's everyone's best guess.

[second_destiny]

...Oh.

[Well, he can't say she's too young. Not when his father was the same age during the War of Bat Extermination.]

Never mind, then.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

...

[Awkward pauses. Finally, something familiar.]

Oh, can I ask your name? And rank, I guess, if we're using them here.

[second_destiny]

Oh, yeah, sure. Asem Asuno. Special Forces captain.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Nice to meet you.

[second_destiny]

Same here. Let's do our best, okay?

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Definitely.
