[Roger is in the hangar, surrounded by other robots!  There are other robots than Hildebrand...!]

Oh my stars and garters!  I've never seen SO MANY ROBOTS!

I've never seen another robot than Hildebrand before!

This is amazing! Oh by gosh by golly, the future is really something special...!

[He's scrambling from robot to robot, looking up and down each metal body]

M-man, I bet I wouldn't even know where to start with these new fangled things...

[[A military-dressed girl with an eyepatch and no pants stands near a few mechanics working on a pair of unusually small plane engines. It's a particular model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire") used by a currently injured Witch, but still, it should look familiar.

Yes, you're free to oggle the WWII expies.]]

Golly gosh! That looks just like a --

[a;sjflsajsfd pantless women] Ahhh!! Goodness gracious, miss, do you need help!? [AVERT YOUR GAZE, ROGER. Or at least cover your eyes. Let's go with that. And then peek through fingers.]

[[And you have her attention... though, she... does hesitate at both the language and his current expression.]]

Help? Do you know anything about Striker Units? [[Another mechanic? Well, they could use the extra hands to get this one up and running again. As far as no pants... no reaction.]]

H-here! [Taking off his shirt BECAUSE MEN ARE ALLOWED TO NOT WEAR SHIRTS] Tie this around your waist!

[[She hesitates to even reach for it, and still holds it out when she takes it.]]

What's this for?

Oh... I see. You're not used to the uniform. Did I hear right, you're from the past?

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

Well come on, I had to go into the history books, right? Roger N. Hammersteing, hero of World War II?

And come on just tie it around you!

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[She's still quite confused, but, she'll comply for now, and wraps it around her waist, tying the sleeves at her front.]]

I can't say much for that honestly. If anything, my history books didn't cover the American perspective. I'm from Fuso.

[[Ahh, the past...]] Japan, back then, I believe. But that was quite some time in the past.

I am so sorry and do not endorse Roger's racism

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

Wait, are you a Jap!?

S'cool. This had to happen with SOMEONE!

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Wait... who uses such an archaic term?

Hmm... she recalled reading something about Japanese/Fuso racism from decades, or something, ago.]]

Is that a problem?

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

!? What do you mean, is that a problem?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Nooooow, we're glaring!]]

Does it bother you that I'm of Japanese descent?

We'll never forgive you for Pearl Harbor!

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

P-Pearl Harbor!?

But that was wiped from the map decades ago! [[And she rightly blames the Neuroi]]

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

WHAT?

WITH NO SMALL PART THANKS TO YOUR PEOPLE, I'M SURE.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

The Neuroi devoured it thirty years ago! Along with parts of America, Brittania, Gallia, and Fuso!

[[Okay, calming down. She's a military officer. She should compose herself.]]


Honestly, your prejudice is completely misplaced. I don't know anything about the year you're from. But you'd do best to put aside your ancient grudges and worry more about the state of the world itself.

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

What, but not the Germans!?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Karlsland, a major city in Germany was recently razed by Neuroi.

Exactly what year are you from?

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

1949! And what devil is a Neuroi!?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

This explains quite a bit...

[[And she let's out a long, heavy sigh.]] Some with me. I've got some documents you may want to look into before someone with a short fuse causes an incident.

[[And she's walking away, with your shirt. If anything, you do want it back, don't you?]]

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

... [Pantless girl leading a shirtless man.]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Sounds like an average day on the White Chalice!]]

Hopefully, you'll put all this aside. I'm not the only one from Fuso on this ship.

[[And look, here's a good... okay... it's a library, not necessarily a good one. Sorting through...]] Well, here's some documents on Neuroi to start. As for history... [[Hmmm... where's a good place to start? Is the year 2000 too far ahead for him? No luck finding any books covering before.]]

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

What is a Fuso? Is that what you japs call your country or something?

[Starts skimming the Neuroi--woah those pictures make them look like bad guys]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate you not calling me that. My name is Sakamoto. Major Sakamoto.

And Fuso is what remains of Japan as a whole. Very little of Japan exists, even less of it's culture remains on the Japanese isles. The Fuso Empire are spread out colonies of Japanese trying to rebuild a home.

[[That's a good idea. Japanese history. Here's a good book that starts about a hundred years ago. And she slams the tome down beside Roger.]]

[hammersteintime.livejournal.com]

Major in what military? Is that your rank on this ship...?

[... opens the book]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

The Joint Fighter Wing, Strike Witches. A military that takes in Witches from all over the World.

[[Did time just stop?]]

I'm in command of the Strike Witches squad assigned to this ship.
