The Eighth Flight

[As much as Ichitaka wanted to go out and help defend the ship his Super Robot was in no condition to do so. The fight with Granzon as well as trying to retrieve Imber had left the machine rather wrecked. At the moment the boy was repairing the machine on his own. It was pretty clear that he had gained some form of mechanical skills as he didn't seem to have any problems with the repairs so far.]

Maybe I should have been a bit more careful.

[Finally taking a break Ichitaka takes a moment to relax and think to himself about recent events. Needless to say it crashed pretty hard on him when he finally took the time to absorb what had happened.]

Some Ally of Justice I turned out to be...

Tell me. Do you think White Chalice is working for a just cause?

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

I don't think we're fighting for one specific cause. Just the causes of everyone on the ship when they come up. Not all of those are just.

[mydutyisnotover.livejournal.com]

Which ones aren't, for example?

[For a moment it looks like he had a answer ready but then hesitated. Grinding his teeth it was pretty apparent that he was thinking hard about what to say.]

I...don't know.

You need to be able to tell a just cause from an unjust one. When you lose the ability to make this judgement, then you stop being an ally of justice.

[There is just a long silence from Ichitaka, in his mind all he was thinking of was how he already knew that.]

By the way... You are partially correct. We're fighting for many different causes here, and some people on board have goals that shouldn't be accomplished. I'm talking big, important people here.

But there is an overall goal of White Chalice, a good one. And all our efforts go into fulfilling it. Yours too.

Yet my main goal...the main reason I'm even here means nothing to most of the people here.

Because it's nothing that affects them. That's normal.

It means something to some people though. And it means something to you.
