[Action]

[The Gundam AGE-2 is standing outside the villa in the Wards district. There are a few refugees attacking it -- they seem to know that somebody is inside it. However, the refugees are one-tenth the height of the Gundam, and about one-thousandth the mass (and that's being generous), so their punches and kicks are doing nothing except hurting themselves. Not that something as insignificant as pain would stop them.

But the Gundam is just standing there. It doesn't even seem to be on. Attempts to hail it won't get a response unless it's something that would grab the pilot's attention. So don't hesitate to try!]

Hey!

[Lancer looks like he had been knocked around quite a bit.]

Is there someone alive up there?

[second_destiny]

[No response.]

[puppy_lancer]

Hey, I'm talking to you!

[Then he winces at the loudness of his own voice. Great. Now his ears hurt. And he's already hurting all over.]

[second_destiny]

[Sorry, Lancer. Asem doesn't know who he is, so no contacting via PDA. And he isn't opening the cockpit.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer shrugs and whacks a few civilians who are still attacking the robot. He then starts trying to climb up its leg. He needs to see whether or not the pilot is still in there.]

[second_destiny]

[If the Gundam had been on, it would have alerted Asem to someone trying to climb up and he, assuming it was a crazed refugee, would have tried to shake him off. So, for once, Lancer lucks out. The Gundam doesn't budge.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He scrambles up the robot until he can get a look at the cockpit. Raising his hand, he gives a couple quick knocks.]

Still alive, kid?

[second_destiny]

Huh?

[Asem turns on the feed to see what's outside.]

Whoa, what the hell?! How'd he get up here?

[puppy_lancer]

[He continues knocking on the glass.]

[second_destiny]

[Sorry, Lancer, you're kind of in the way of the hatch. He can't open it without knocking you off.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He finally catches sight of the pilot's face, so he scoots over and maneuvers himself to allow the pilot to open the hatch.]

[second_destiny]

[The cockpit is opaque, but the cameras show this anyway. Asem opens the hatch.]

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, hey. You're alive. And you look sane.

[second_destiny]

...Why wouldn't I be?

[puppy_lancer]

[He shrugs and points at the ground.]

Everybody is losing their shit down there.

[Hell, Lancer had been one of those people who had flipped a shit, but that had been because he lost himself in the head of the moment.]

[second_destiny]

But none of the people from other worlds have been affected yet.

[puppy_lancer]

...Really?

[second_destiny]

You never noticed a pattern?

[puppy_lancer]

No...I guess I was too out of it.
