[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.]

[[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.

[[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?

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

[He gives a nod.]

I'm more comfortable than that than I am with formalities, and I don't have an official rank anymore to speak of.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

R-right. Thought this isn't much about rank... [[She didn't know he even had one.]]

I'll try to remember to call you Amuro then...

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and nods again, satisfied enough with that.]

Appreciated. I'll be looking forward to working with you and your squad.

Just don't underestimate us due to our size. The Neuroi we fight are bigger than most of these machines here!

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

Size isn't everything- There's also speed and maneuverability... Large machines have their own disadvantages, too.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

These aren't machines I speak of. But it would be hard to get word of Neuroi in space.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've encountered one, anyway. Out here, machines are still the most common enemy.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I you plan to come back to Earth with us, I'm certain you'll see one. They're bigger than these machine, but it's as you say, we have the advantage in speed and maneuverability.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I will... I'll be counting on your squad for information on how to handle them.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Of course Mis-- Amuro.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

Meanwhile, I'll back you up if I can. Don't underestimate Gundam just because of it's size!

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Oh! I've already learned many of these machines are quite powerful! I'll be certain not to, ohohohohohoh!

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

In that case, I'll be looking forward to joint operations.
