[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...

[[Nooooow, we're glaring!]]

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

P-Pearl Harbor!?

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

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.

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

Exactly what year are you from?

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?]]

[[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.]]

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.]]

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.

[[Since the book on Neuroi is free, she flips to another chapter in it. Thusly, depicting a young Japanese girl with planes for legs and a familiar looking eyepatch.]]

Strike Witches. And even with the level of technology today, we're still the best suited offense against the Neuroi.

Do you have a better name for a militarized group of young girls who use magic?

[identity profile] aceshighsword.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
The use of supernatural force manipulated from with a body.

[[What? Literally.]] We use magic both in combat, and to power our Striker Units. Some use it to increase their firepower, and others use the more traditional sense, such as expelling lightning from a fingertip. We use magical shields to protect ourselves as well.

[[Did she just crack a smile?]]

We don't use hexes or curses. That's storybook material. But I can harm you in more conventional ways if you don't start looking at things differently.

[[Does she HAVE to reach for the katana on her back to punctuate her point?]]
