Ninth Light

[In the wake of the most recent mission, you'll find a disheartening sight if you enter the hangar.  The HK-1138' Corona lies in a crumpled, ruined heap off in a side designated for unsalvagable wrecks, the entire machine nearly split in twain height-wise, a huge chunk of it just fucking gone.  Those parts from before?  Yeah, phoney.  All of them.  Danconias-Phillips imitation parts and completely incompatible.  You didn't actually think they'd HELP Julia, did you?]

Come on... move... move!

[And elsewhere in the hangar, Julia has been trying as hard as she can to use other machines.  Knightmare Frames.  Mobile Suits.  Everything and anything that currently isn't claimed by someone else just so no stone was unturned.  But it's all for naught.  Her hands fly wildly and clumsily at the controls.  It takes all of her willpower and focus to just a machine to stumble awkwardly forward, and all too often her machine stumbles and falls.  And finally after one failure too many...

[Well, everyone has a breaking point and Julia's just hit hers.]

I can't...

I can't pilot anymore...

What other choice did I have?

The plans for the combat model were killed as soon as Fransisco Danconias and Herbert Phillips bought the company. It was the only option left for me, and I was so determined to prove my way of fighting was just as good as anyone else's...

So... that's why we're trying to get you in something new. If you're going to prove that, you need SOMETHING, right?

No...

I tried and I was a fool to do so.

Trying is what drives success, Julia. It's all part of the process of getting better. So you fell. You get back up and attack it twice as hard. All we're offering is the tools to do so. MarKus can do this, you just have to try for a bit longer.

[[The hell? Alexei putting faith in MarKus?

Fuck. Yeah.]]

C'mon! We just gotta pick you somethin out to work with. Sure, there's his old unit, but, being that we're in space, you might want to try something a little more Zero-G friendly. And less costly on ammo.
