[There's a pair of crimson eyes gazing into the PDA's screen, blue hair framing her face and a strange piece of head gear that most certainly can't be called a helmet. There's no expression on her face, she's quite serious right now. Ensuring that she wasn't there alone had been her first priority after the Valkyrie had brought her. There was a vague sense of relief that she wouldn't admit to, when she found three names listed: Gaignun Kukai Junior, Shion Uzuki and Wilhelm.

Mary's Will responded to the last name but not enough that either one would switch control right now.]

I am KOS-MOS, an Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon. I was brought here, as most of you were, by the Valkyrie to defend this place.

I have a priority that supersedes that however. Shion. I request that we meet somewhere as soon as possible. I can be located, at most times, in the Palace District where I have been assigned residence. Or I can come find you. My programming allows me to keep track of your life readings.

Understood.

Shion was the chief of Vector's First R&D Division and former head of the KOS-MOS project. It is likely that she was being modest.

[second_destiny]

...Whoa.

[Asem wasn't completely familiar with the terminology or level of prestige, but context helped him out in that department.]

She actually sounds kind of like my dad. He's a genius who built a mobile suit by the time he was fourteen.

[needtobecleaned]

Mobile suits? Would they be similar to E.S. or the A.G.W.S.?

[second_destiny]

...I'd say, but I don't know what those abbreviations stand for.

[needtobecleaned]

E.S. is the abbreviated name for Ein Sof. A.G.W.S is the abbreviated name for Anti-Gnosis Weapon System which are downscaled models of A.M.W.S. or Assault Maneuver Weapon System.

[second_destiny]

[Asem looks just as confused as before. Apparently that wasn't helpful.]

...Okay, different approach. Are they humanoid machines 18-19 meters tall?

[needtobecleaned]

Yes, they are.

[second_destiny]

Then yeah, they're similar. There's two of them in the hangar down by the docks if you want to see them for yourself.

[needtobecleaned]

I believe that I would like that, yes.

[second_destiny]

Do you need directions?

[needtobecleaned]

I do not. Dinah is currently in the hanger, if my scans are accurate.

[second_destiny]

Dinah? I'm guessing that's one of those...um. Your world's equivalent to mobile suits.

[needtobecleaned]

It is my E.S.

[second_destiny]

Yes. That. Speaking of which, I should head down there and see what new machines we've gotten. Gotta know each machine and pilot's strengths and weaknesses to make a good team.

[needtobecleaned]

That is an excellent way to plan ahead.

[second_destiny]

I lead a squad back home. That's just one of a bunch of things I had to learn as I went.

[needtobecleaned]

I do not mean to be offensive but you seem quite young.

[Junior doesn't count. She knows he's older than he looks.]

[second_destiny]

...Yeah, that reaction's common.

Well, I've only had the job for about half a year. But I got a lot of experience before that -- enough to give me a commission and promote me to captain. Also, we were in the middle of a war.

[needtobecleaned]

War is a deciding factor in plans many people have made. I do not doubt that your skills must be quite in demand if you were recruited so young.

[second_destiny]

...And more than I thought, too. I mean, I'm here in Midgard, after all.

[needtobecleaned]

That is true. You're skills must indeed be impressive.

[second_destiny]

They're the one thing I have complete confidence in. As long as I have them and a reason to fight, I won't lose.

[needtobecleaned]

That is good to hear. The Valkyrie's chose wisely.

[second_destiny]

Oh, yeah. My name's Asem Asuno. I pilot the Gundam AGE-2.

[needtobecleaned]

A pleasure, Asem. As you heard, I am KOS-MOS and the main pilot of Ein Sof Dinah.
