[ Another new recruit to the city! REJOICE, REJOICE! Or don't. But there's a young woman studying her PDA with a non-plussed expression. Perhaps she's seen something like it before. Before she gets too distracted with inspecting the other features, she addresses the network. ]

There we go, it should be ... right. Good morning, my name is Shion Uzuki. I was Chief of the Vector's R&D Division back home, but that's not important right now. More importantly is that the Valkyrie brought me - all of us - here for a reason. I may not look like much, but I am fully capable of fighting alongside everyone else here, and I intend to pull my own weight, both in battle and out. If anyone needs to reach me for any reason, I've been assigned housing in the Dock's district, or you can contact me over this network.

Also - according to this screen here... it would appear that someone else from my world is here. I am relieved; Jr., give me a call if you see this. We should talk.

Well, you are right, there. Sorry, I meant to clarify - Vector isn't a presence here, and that's the part that isn't important. In a place like this, engineers and healers are going to be needed just as much as fighters.

[second_destiny]

Oh, okay. It's good to have some engineers, though. They didn't bring any from my world.

[betterwithglasses]

So you're a fighter? What is your world like?

[second_destiny]

I'm not really a fighter -- more like a pilot. But anyway, we've got space travel and space colonies. I only set foot on Earth for the first time years ago.

[betterwithglasses]

Oh? It sounds like your world isn't too different from mine. Although I'm from Miltia. What year is it where you're from? - [ Earth is... yeah. ]

[second_destiny]

Really? You're the first person that's said that. Miltia...I don't know that name.

...Oh, right, year. It's A.G. 142. But if we're from different worlds, that wouldn't matter...

[betterwithglasses]

A.G?

No, I suppose not - where I'm from it's T.C 4767. But like you said, it doesn't matter since we're from different universes. What sort of technology do you have? You mentioned space travel, and that you're a pilot.

[second_destiny]

It stands for Advanced Generation. It started when all the nations made peace with each other and the Earth Federation formed.

Yeah, we've got space travel, but we haven't left the solar system yet. We've gone out to...

[Here he pauses. This was the reason why there was a conflict back home in the first place.]

...To the Mars Sphere.

H..hey my comment got eaten :(

[betterwithglasses]

I see.

You said you were a pilot - what do you pilot? We have assorted types of mobile mech units in my universe, so I'd love to hear about the ones you might have.

Sadly, that happens sometimes.

[second_destiny]

Me? I pilot a mobile suit. Mine's called the Gundam AGE-2, and it's the best one that the Earth Federal Forces have ever produced! It's really one of a kind. I wouldn't have lived as long as I have if it weren't for that machine.

/sob. DW why are you so mean

[betterwithglasses]

Mobile suit? [ Perking right up at that. ] That's amazing - you wouldn't happen to have it here with you, would you?

[second_destiny]

Yeah, I do! It's stored in the hangar down near the docks.

[betterwithglasses]

That's not too far from where I live then. Do you maintain your mobile suit yourself?

[second_destiny]

Not normally, but I kind of have to here. They didn't bring my mechanic.

[betterwithglasses]

Well, if you ever need an extra hand, I could help you out. The system of your mobile suit is probably different from that of an A.G.W.S or A.M.W.S, but the basic principle is likely the same.

[second_destiny]

Um...

[Okay, he didn't know what those abbreviations stood for yet, but there was something he could answer, at least.]

It might actually be a bit different. My mobile suit's OS is totally different from even other mobile suits in my world.

[betterwithglasses]

Really? Well, I could always take a look if you like. But what differentiates it from other mobile suits?

[second_destiny]

It, um...it learns from the combat data.

[betterwithglasses]

That actually sounds very familiar to something I worked on back home.

The system in your mobile unit must be extremely advanced in comparison to the other units if it's the only one capable of learning from combat data.

[second_destiny]

I don't know all the details myself. Apparently my grandmother developed it and stored the data on a device I carry around. My dad and some Federation guys then used the data to build the Gundam AGE-1 and complete the system.

[betterwithglasses]

Ah, I see. What sort of combat scenarios have you seen with your mobile suits? Most of ours primarily are used to fight the Gnosis, though in theory, they have been known to be used in a security position.

[second_destiny]

Mobile suits were originally made as anti-ship weapons, so they have that, plus they fight each other. Most of my fights have been against groups of enemies, and mostly in space.
