Just a pilot passing through

[Hey look, the G-Saviour is back in the hangar! Complete with Tobia.]

I'm just here for resupply. Tron and her brothers are free again, so I need to return to Mother Vanguard very soon!

But oh boy, I heard what happened on Earth since I left. It's only been a few weeks, and stuff got really crazy already! What's next, an enemy bigger than Earth?

I swear to god, if that ends up happening I will beat you like a red-headed stepchild.

[not_the_deer]

Hey, no fair!

...Especially since that almost describes me already!

[rods_and_cones]

An enemy larger than the planet itself... That WOULD be next in the trend, wouldn't it?

[not_the_deer]

Really? I wasn't serious when I said that!

[rods_and_cones]

It's not as if you saying it is going to make it happen, but, considering what we've all tackled up until now, it's not outside consideration.

[not_the_deer]

I'll go find some abandoned colonies, just in case we need to drop something on that thing.

[rods_and_cones]

That's... probably going to be frowned upon by everyone. You do know your history, don't you?

[not_the_deer]

But what's another way to fight something of that size? And it's not like anyone lives in abandoned colonies anymore...

[paladin_robot]

Depending on how you view things, that technically sorta happened - Saturn briefly had a couple of ugly mugs on it.

[not_the_deer]

What.

[paladin_robot]

Yeah, we had used a wormhole to reach Saturn to try and stop it from collapsing into a black hole, but when we got there it was already infested with the alien Invaders, some of which fired tentacles at us from the planet. Then a couple of faces emerged, the Getters hit them, and then those flew up in an organic spaceship. Thats about where I passed out from overusing my machine, and things apparently only got crazier from there.

...

Richard Chevalier by the way.

[not_the_deer]

And here I thought it was crazy when we suddenly discovered a whole lot of Invaders going in our direction! Good that Mother Vanguard is fast.

[paladin_robot]

Yeah, well, they're apparently shoved out of reality or something now. I was out for the last part, but most of the old school Getter Team disappeared.

They were... a pretty cool set, even if I didn't know them long.

[not_the_deer]

Even Old Man Hayato is gone? I think he was a telepath or something. A scary guy.

I'm Tobia Arronax, by the way.

[no_wan_no_life]

Wan. I am glad to hear your rescue mission was successful.

[not_the_deer]

I'm glad too. I had to hurry to make it! I barely had time to bring any weapons with me.

[no_wan_no_life]

You fought unarmed?

[not_the_deer]

Oh, no, I had two beam zanbers with me! And a shark gun.

I didn't have time to draw any of this while getting there, though, so I just beat the first guy with my fist. Elbow. Whatever.

[no_wan_no_life]

Ah. That is a familiar situation.

...

Sh... shark gun?

[not_the_deer]

A present from the president before he left!

[i_like_shades]

Nice entry, welcome back. I'd love to see this enemy bigger than the Earth. Not so much having to fight it myself though.

[not_the_deer]

What if you were paid to do that?

[i_like_shades]

I'd have to get serious.

[You think... he's joking but its hard to tell when he has a straight face.]

At the very least I'd have to try depending on the circumstances. I may be a merc but even I have some moral values I hold dear to myself.

[not_the_deer]

Really? Like what? I thought you said you're not a good guy last time we talked.

[i_like_shades]

You seem to have the misconception that bad guys can't have moral values and good guys can't have any sins or something.

[He's starting to wonder if all the goodies and baddies in these parts follow a linear trait.]

As for mine... I have friends too you know? Lovely ladies with a decent level of IQ and friends take priority over strangers even if they pay me well for the job. Too much political backstabbing comes as a package with a nice pay most of the time where I come from. An easier grasp of me... I would have to say that if I was made a ruler of others, I would rule by force and not tolerate any unpleasantness but I'll try my best to make sure there isn't anything for those I rule over to be discontent with in the first place.
