Returning Wan

[no_wan_no_life]

I'm back at White Chalice... I didn't expect to be here again, not so soon.

Everyone - thank you for having me again, if only for a short while. I need to reach Madoka - I mean, Kamogawa, at the earliest opportunity. It is something really important.

Muginami... why did you have to support for De Metrio and become our enemy once more?

[Following the re-introduction, Lan will explore and look at familiar places around White Chalice.]

It's an issue bigger than the two of us. It's about La Garite and De Metrio.

"Why are the nations of La Garite and De Metrio fighting?" Matthew asks more specifically.

[no_wan_no_life]

That's because De Metrio's existence is a deadly threat to La Garite.
And the other way around too.

I'm sorry if I'm being vague. I cannot tell you more without Brother's permission.

"Fin E Ld Si Laffinty." Matthew says quietly. "Your comrades on the White Chalice metaphorically bled today to protect you, your allies, and your station, against De Metrio, OZ, and that monster of a Gundam. And now it seems more and more likely that we fought to protect a deadly superweapon that La Garite was building in our back yard to use against De Metrio."

He stares into you eyes. "We are not loose of tongue or careless. We deserve to know what we risked our lives for. And not telling us, permission or no, is a slap in the face."

Do you think I don't know that?
I know! I know... but you can't get involved. This is a matter between De Metrio and La Garite. White Chalice can't do anything about it.
So it's better for you not to know.

"There I disagree." Matthew says. "It is always better to understand than to remain ignorant."

He pauses. "Besides, I could always ask your former comrade Muganami."

She will not tell you.

...

Our planets, La Garite and De Metrio... are on a path of mutual destruction. I mean that literally - their courses change every thousand years. They are going to collide with each other.

"....Ohhhh." Matthew says.

He scratches his neck in thought.

"My first question would be why your two nations have not coordinated their efforts to organize an evacuation. But I am guessing that something happened that destroyed the trust between them, quiaff?"

[no_wan_no_life]

You are correct.

As much as I'd rather it not be the case, the time for talk is long over. All that remains is a state of war.
