Clearing out cobwebs for White Base's Angel

1.[Throughout the day, someone's out taking the Cosmograsper and I-Savior for a spin or two. And by "spin or two", I mean crazy high-G maneuvers to avoid imaginary enemies. No shooting, just dodging like crazy. Several times the Cosmograsper will actually go into a stall, then roll into a turn, allowing it to do a 360 turn in very tight spaces.]

2. [Later on, Sayla's taking a break. She looks kind of...green.]

Ugh...

[Kincaid passes her a canteen.]

Got a little carried away out there?

Maybe...a bit...

[Takes a drink.]

It's been a while.

[identity profile] bottleofgundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-22 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like riding a bike, is it?

For what it's worth you looked pretty good out there.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, not quite...

And thanks.

Need a real op-for, ma'am? [And here's Chrono flying right next to her.] It might be better practice.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-22 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so can keep up with a cosmograsper in flight. Didn't expect him to be that fast...]

Uh...Sure.
coolblueiceman: (Gotta hurry...!)

[personal profile] coolblueiceman 2012-09-22 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not really, he's pushing it and losing ground fast.] Right then, let's go. Durandal!

Yes, Boss. Snipe Shot, Training Mode. [And an icy-blue beam fires toward the Cosmograsper! Luckily it'll bounce off if it connects.]

[Please, son. That sort of attack wouldn't phase a rookie pilot, much less a newtype. Sayla barrell rolls out of the way.]

[personal profile] coolblueiceman 2012-09-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Which would be fine if this weren't Chrono, with his shots that can make turns at any angle in moments. It's coming back, Sayla. Fast, too.]

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[And if it weren't for someone being psychic, that would have got her too. Darn it, she should be better than that...The Cosmo Grasper tilts its nose up a bit towards the projectile, turns slightly, and grazes at the last minute like it's straight outta touhou. Or tries to, at least.]

[personal profile] coolblueiceman 2012-09-23 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Your senses are very good. I'm impressed. [With a flick of the wrist, the shot turns on itself again, now headed for a wing, though he waited long enough for the shot not to be totally impossible to dodge.]

But it we're going to make something out of this, I'll have to push that machine a little harder, and you too.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[The answer now, as the projectile comes racing back: Accelerate and climb! Rockets at full, yo!]
coolblueiceman: (I don't like it but...)

[personal profile] coolblueiceman 2012-09-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Durandal. Let's pick up the pace.
Yes, Boss.

[And the shot increases in speed; it's not as significant a boost as Sayla's is, but then the projectile's still at least as fast as she is, magic being able to cheat and all. It's on course for the cockpit if Sayla doesn't get the Cosmograsper out of the way. Interestingly, Chrono's having to dump a lot of focus into this...]

[identity profile] redfckngcomet.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to see you haven't lost your edge out there.

[ ... though she looks like she's about to lose whatever she had for dinner. ]

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
...And what's that supposed to mean?

Do you know Senior Luger?

Re: 2

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-23 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
A little bit, yes. He's got quite the battery of diseases floating in his blood...

Why do you ask?
gudbye_despair: (Hm!)

Re: 2

[personal profile] gudbye_despair 2012-09-24 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Are you Senior Luger's girlfriend?

Re: 2

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-24 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No. That's...

Why would you even think that?
gudbye_despair: (Hm!)

Re: 2

[personal profile] gudbye_despair 2012-09-28 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, from hearsay. I heard senior luger respects you. Senior Luger is a headstrong and independent person, you know? He doesn't listen to that many people.

Well, that's as may be, but we're not dating. Nor will we be.

...Who told you this, anyways?

[Gregory, however, is in the dark about Sayla's ill condition as he approaches her, looking a little antsy.]

Doctor... about all the tests I-

[Oh dear. Yeah, she doesn't look good.]

... I came at a bad time, didn't I?

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Take all the time you need. I can wait.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-27 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[A bit later, she's gotten ahold of herself again.]

...Okay, I think I'm feeling a bit better now. What was it you wanted to know?

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-09-29 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
My... test results.

Was there anything definitive you found in it? Human or otherwise?

Right now I... would definitely appreciate confirmations one way or the other.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-09-29 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...No.

There were a few blips here and there, but nothing that can be determined with confidence. Some of the results were conflicting, too...

All I can really say is that you are who you are.

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-09-30 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses, looking down at the ground wearily.]

I was... afraid of that. If only because it feels like other people know who I am better than I do.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Look, in the grand scheme of things, I don't think it matters at all whether or not you're human.

If you want to talk it out, I'm more than willing to lend you an ear.

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles weakly.]

I'd appreciate that.

[And with that he sits down, looking a bit antsy.]

I suppose really, what's causing my biggest problems with this is just my initial impressions of Percolatii.

Do you... mind if I go into detail?

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[A nod.]

... I lost my whole family to Percolatii when I was a child. They were replicated and killed, and while I tried to hide in the house they searched for me... as my parents. I knew the truth, and they weren't going to just let me live.

I know some Percolatii just "pick up" where the person they copied stopped living. Some times they don't necessarily even kill them; MarKus's parents were replicated but they died from an unrelated incident.

But just... all that talk that "it doesn't matter who you were" doesn't stick to me as well as it should... because I know how horrible a Percolatis can be, and how their imitation can be skin-deep.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...that's rough.

...But still, those would be other Percolatii, not you. I mean...I share the same species as Gihren Zabi. And I think the second impact showed us all how horrible people can be...

You can't let being distantly related to evil get you down.

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Distantly related, not related at all... or a defector from decadence who... really doesn't deserve that title whatsoever.

[He sighs heavily.]

That one Percolatis out there talked like he knew me. And if he was... then I was apparently a high-ranking member of TECZ. And TECZ, contrary to what I've thought for all my life, seems to really just be a Percolatis front.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Now that is a problem...

...I still think that the same general rules as brainwashing apply now. You're not the same man you were then, so you can't really be held responsible for those actions.

...Take a break, do something you enjoy for a while. It'll help get your mind on track.

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
... I suppose... that might be the best option for a while.

Maybe watch some of MarKus's Kamen Rider documentaries again, or see how Madeleine's doing now.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
That should help.

...Speaking of Madeleine, did Ayame really go through with blackmailing her?

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't put it past her.

From what I heard, Mad was a bit troublesome when she first came onboard, after all.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. She probably did, then...

I still don't like it, but what's past is past, I suppose.

[identity profile] reach-for-self.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's for the best though. Madeleine's goes through enough as it is... her gender issues are fortunately not one of them now.

[identity profile] 2good4thegundam.livejournal.com 2012-10-01 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's more the ethical violations that get to me...that information was given with the understanding it would not be revealed, and it was abused for Ayame's own ends.

...Agh, I'm going to rant at you all day if this keeps up. Go watch your karate bugman show.
