Arrival

[wardeninexile.livejournal.com]

After the previous mission, White Chalice's hangar is seeing new arrivals as 5 mechs are moving in, all bearing the following insignia:



The lead mech has already parked, and the pilot has exited the cockpit.

"I am Star Captain Ranna of Clan Wolf's Delta Galaxy. I do apologize for the... inappropriate timing of the Circle of Equals, but it was done under extenuating circumstances. This is my Command Star, and it is with great honor that my warriors and I set foot on Terra."

"Greetings to you there."

[saikyocivrobo]

Hello.

I didn't expect the rest of Clan Wolf to arrive so... suddenly. And in such numbers.

Ranna shakes her head.

"The rest of the clan are not here yet."

[saikyocivrobo]

Is the whole clan going to come here?

[wardeninexile.livejournal.com]

"Neg. However a significant portion will be moving here, if my hypothesis is correct. Neither Star Captain Resnick and I, nor the Jade Falcons' original destination was here. We all had a common one though.

If this phenomenon remains consistent, we will see at least one full Galaxy, a significant portion of our other castes and the support vessels arrive. Not to mention whatever Falcon forces that may be pursuing them."

I hope a Galaxy is a name for a squad of a certain size you use, and not that literally a whole galaxy of soldiers will come here... We're going to run out of room pretty soon.

How long do you intend to stay?

"Aff, a Galaxy can range from 100 to 750 Points - each Point being either 1 Mech, 2 Aerospace fighters or 5 Elementals.

I am uncertain, it may be for a long while. Do not worry, however - the rest of the Clan will have the capability to construct an operational base."

Or a city, if necessary.

A base, huh? Hope you brought enough food with you. America got hit the worst during Second Impact, trying to grow anything in its wastelands will be a challenge even for ridiculous super-farmers.

I'm Werter Wolf, by the way. Super robot pilot, chemistry student and aspiring hero. Before you ask: no relation to Clan Wolf. It's just a coincidence.

Ranna smiles.

"When the Pentagon worlds were first settled the environment was hostile as well. Wastelands do not sound too bad.

Furthermore, a challenge is something to look forward to in our culture."

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, good you're not getting discouraged, then. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure all the gangs of bandits and other criminal elements will stay faaar away from you.

"How did you arrive at that conclusion?"

[saikyocivrobo]

Look at how the locals will see it: a big group of heavily armed people in unknown mecha is setting up a base. Who knows what are they capable of? It would take someone completely crazy and desperate to attack that.

"Stranger things have occurred."

Ranna smiles at that.

[saikyocivrobo]

I can't really argue. I've been right in the middle of several.
