[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.]

[Video]

[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.]

Wait, piloting? As in humanoid machines?

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Yes. I brought one called the PTX-006 Wildraubtier with me. It's not the most advanced, but I'm very familiar with it...

[second_destiny]

Wow. We're getting a lot of pilots lately. Hard to believe there were just three of us to start with.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

How long have you been here?

[ VERBALLY KEYSMASHING IN HER MIND FGSGSDL!!! ]

H-Hey! [ Why did she cut the camera feed so quickly? ] Why did you say all of that information so freely!?

1/2

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Seolla?

2/2

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

You made it here too!

[aceattacker]

Well, of course I made it here. Were you expecting otherwise? I was the first to arrive and everyone else that's tardy really owes me one for keeping things settled in the meantime.

[ Well, there's no mistaking the joy that's starting to seep into her features. ]

Did anyone else come with you?

[second_destiny]

Not long. Ten days, I think.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Not that I know of...I was by myself when the Valkyrie appeared, so I showed up by myself, I guess.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I guess people are coming in one at a time rather than in a big group, if you had a big increase over ten days...

[second_destiny]

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

[super_woolf]

Data analysis, is it?

[phobophage]

What sort of data analysis do you do?

[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...

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Um...yes. Combat data analysis, specializing in machine performance.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I process combat data to help other pilots fight...um, can I ask why you're curious?

[second_destiny]

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

[phobophage]

Hmm, so not the kind of data analysis I'm looking for. I've been putting together a team to gather intelligence and do other stuff like sabotage and such. A data analyst would probably have been useful on occasion.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

Well, if I could get information on how they fight and where they're coming from I still might be able to help...

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

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

[phobophage]

If we get anything like that, I'll send it to you.

[second_destiny]

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

...Can I ask how old you are?

[super_woolf]

That's perfect. Just what I was looking for.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

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