02: The Abtaka of the Brotherhood of Manly Souls Opens His Heart to Legend Once Again
[1]
The events of the past few days– the battle against the final onslaught of the Invaders, the climactic struggle of the Getter Team at Saturn, and the place they departed to– have frankly been epic.
They have also made quite the impression on a certain ex-Jade Falcon, who had not dared to think that such heroism could be possible.
As the White Chalice journeys back to Earth, he can be seen at various places–in his (Tin-foiled) Nova's cockpit on the outer hull, in a vacuum suit by one of the large airlocks, at the observation deck– just staring up at the endless sea of stars as a child would.

Talk to him? Snap him out of it? Play a prank on him?

Matthew is wandering about the Chalice, looking for the pilots who fought at Saturn, tablet and light pen in hand.
And the most determined of expressions on his face.
[3]
Matthew is sitting by a table in one of the portside lounges, ignoring the cold lunch next to him, and doing something unusual for a frugal warrior from an ascetic caste society.
He is writing on paper. Copious amounts of paper. Some sheets are discarded at his feet, some are set to the side, and all are covered with splotches of ink.
A close examination will reveal them to be...verse poetry?
[4]
Matthew has posted a request on the Chalice Net for all Clan warriors onboard to assemble in Hanger 3 to "Fulfill the debt of honor we owe to the memory of great warriors."
For those of you who show up, Clan or otherwise, there is a gaggle of Clan Wolf/Ex-Jade Falcon warriors and tech caste members about, wondering why the heck they were gathered here. There is no sign of Matthew about.

On the other hand...Resnick rivalry.
Matthew grits his teeth. What should he do?

BOTH!
"Then where are the efforts of the Loremasters to memorialize the Getter Team, Star Captain? Show them to me, show them for all to see, and I just may offer Surkai!"
He makes a slashing motion through the air.
"And if not, Clan Gurren Brigade shall craft it's own Remembrance, if only to give the champions of the Getter the regard they deserve! And why would we not be worthy to do so, Star Captain Resnick? What qualities do we lack, that you consider us to not be a Clan?"
He is seriously asking you to spell it out?

Ranna crosses her arms and smiles.
"I do find your prose inadequate for something as important to our values as the Remembrance though."
She shakes her head.
"What Clan Wolf does is not privy to those not in our Clan, but I shall tell you now so you may be less presumptuous in the future -"
Ranna looks straight at Matthew.
"I have already submitted a request to our Clan Council about additions to the Remembrance already after the battle. They are still processing the request."

The next thing Ranna said momentarily struck him dumb. But in order to not appear out of the loop he had to wrench the gawking expression off his face and nod. "Aff. Did I not say the matter was already handled?"
no subject
"All I wished was for their legacy to be remembered."
A moment of awkward anticlimactic silence ensues.
