[This message is sent over the commlink of the Gundam as he arrives in the hanger immediately following the last battle. It's being sent over the basic communications to the ship, so ostensibly anybody should be able to chime in and speak with him if they want, assuming.]

White Challice- This is Amuro Ray, formerly of the Earth Federation Forces. ...Although my loyalties aren't really to them any more. At this point, you can think of me as an ordinary freelancer.

I'll be working with you all from now on.

[And he leaves it at that for now.]

...The White Devil himself, huh.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

That was a long time ago now.

[phantompilot.livejournal.com]

Still, you were pretty famous back during the One Year War.

[Gives a smile at that.]

Ah, where are my manners? You can call me "Shiro".

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

So it really is you... Amuro Ray, the White Devil of the One Year War.

[Kamille bows before Amuro!]

Thank you! If you didn't intervene when you did, I'm not sure if the two of us would have survived!

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I'd heard rumors about new Gundams being developed... It's only a coincidence that I was already there to investigate on my own.

I'm glad if I was able to do some good.

[Kamille nods at this, standing upright again]

So, that Mobile Suit you were piloting before, was that really the Gundam? It looks kind of... Battered.

[[So, this is Amuro. Well, it's certainly best to not openly state Char is here...]]

Good to meet you, Mister Ray. [[She gives a proper salute, no pants and all.]]

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

[Amuro returns the salute automatically, Opting to tastefully ignore said lack of pants.]

Likewise, I'm sure... Just 'Amuro' is fine, though.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[She doesn't seem to mind lacking them. But you do get her to hesitate at that.]]

I'm Major Mio Sakamoto, leader of the Strike Witches squadron on this ship.

Are you sure you're comfortable with me calling you by your first name?

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

A-Amuro Rey!? Wow, it really is you!

S-say, can you help me learn how to pilot mobile suits? I'd have asked Char, but his suit uses weird brain magic, so I don't think he'd be much help...

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

Char!?

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's-

[Slowly dawning realization that she just told Amuro his archnemesis is on board]

W-wait! He's actually a pretty cool guy!

[mydutyisnotover.livejournal.com]

It seems that a lot of living legends are coming to this ship.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd go that far... I'm just a regular freelance pilot, now.

[mydutyisnotover.livejournal.com]

Still, expect a lot of younger pilots to recognize and look up to you.

[rollinrollings.livejournal.com]

Amu-ro! Amu-ro!

[[What ous this excited green ball?]]

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

...Haro?

[srwuga_mods]

[[And he starts rolling around like a nut!]]

Amuro! Amuro!

[capt-fanservice.livejournal.com]

Amuro Ray, huh? Standards for 'ordinary freelancers' have gotten really high in the last couple of years, haven't they?

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

There's a rough screening process... If you don't pass, they don't let you do it.

I am going to be an ass and backtag you 3 weeks later because I never saw this comment

[capt-fanservice.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware of that.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ray. I'm Misato Katsuragi. I'm just hitching a ride, myself, but welcome aboard.

[vjockey.livejournal.com]

Well...this is a surprise.

I didn't expect that Commander Aznable's nemesis would be joining us as well.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I didn't exactly expect to hear that Char had joined, either.

[gundamentalism.livejournal.com]

[You have a shadow, Amuro. He's actually pretty decent at not being obvious, but, well. Newtype. He seems to be unable to make up his mind about you...]

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Mr. Shadow, this is one man who doesn't care for being followed. Fortunately, you get the benefit of the doubt as an ally, so he'll just call you peacefully.]

You were the Allied Gundam pilot, correct?
