02 Aliens On Earth

1) [Dita's looking through the observation windows at the landscape around them. It was beautiful and terrible at the same time, with the damaged landscape from numerous battles, to the alien architecture not associated with Mejire.]

It's so haunting...


2) [She's in the hangar of the Chalice, helping the mechanics that stayed behind to do some adjustments to any of the mecha that they're allowed to work on. Who knew Dita was a competent mechanic?]


3) [Lunch time! She's cooking up a Mejire dish for everyone, some kind of variant of roast turkey no less. Whatever it is, it smells DELICIOUS. Come have some?]

Well, that's depressing... Sorry to hear that. I guess my situation, where both of my parents are alive and well, is pretty rare in this day and age, huh?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Meia too lost her parents. A lot of our girls come from lives where we were dissatisfied or had nowhere to turn after a major calamity. But that's what makes all of us stronger as family.

[saikyocivrobo]

Now I wonder if there are any other such tight-knit groups here on the ship... Not the whole crew, obviously. Too big.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Could be. Sometimes you find close knit people no matter where one goes.

[saikyocivrobo]

Being in a group so close together that they make a second family...

I don't think if I ever experienced that. I'm more of a lone wolf myself. It's even in my name.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Really? You've got a wolf in your last name right?

[saikyocivrobo]

Yeah. Werter Wolf. A pretty ordinary last name in Germany, but fearsome and independent to everyone else's ears!

[Not very much like him, in other words.]

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

It's a really amazing name to be honest!

1/2

[saikyocivrobo]

You really think so...?

2/2

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, I'm trying to live up to it, and doing a pretty good job so far. I hope.

I think you're doing just fine!

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, have you even seen me in action yet?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

.... [blink] I... don't think so...?

[saikyocivrobo]

How do you know how I'm doing, then? From the mission reports?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Nods] The Captain wants all of the dread team to read them, as with the bridge crew as well.

[saikyocivrobo]

That's good... Although it's still not the same thing as being there in person and seeing it with your own eyes. It's a completely different experience. Usually much more frightening and dangerous, for example.

Now that you mention it, I've yet to personally see a Dread in combat too...

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Well maybe next time we could deploy together then?

[saikyocivrobo]

Hmm, maybe. Assuming Prometheus won't go missing again.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. It'll be nice to deploy with you!

[saikyocivrobo]

Same here, assuming it won't be another fight where the bad guys massacre innocent civilians before we get there. That kinda ruins the mood.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Yeah that wouldn't be good for anyone.

[saikyocivrobo]

But hey, let's not be overly negative. We don't know what the future will bring, so assuming it will be something bad just gets in the way of your everyday life. Nevermind that I just did that on my own.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

True! You can't get worried all the time.
