Discovery #46

[saikyocivrobo]

[Late at night, Werter watches the stars in the clear sky. He actually has a real telescope now! Prometheus, on the other hand, only has binoculars, but doesn't seem to mind.]

As I suspected, no signs of the seal of despair remain. Just normal, serene sky, if the Auryn star and the ring of Rinne flowers count as normal.

Doctor Bian... Thank you. You won't be forgotten.

What is science, if not humanity's desire for a better tomorrow made physical? I am sure Doctor Bian of Divine Crusaders understood that as well.

[saikyocivrobo]

The alliance will undoubtedly be shaken without him. Which means that yet another challenging task awaits is.

We need to keep it from falling apart.

[fermionprincess]

I wish not to look at the predicament with a cynical gaze, but one thing remains for a fact.

The number of organisations and otherworldly entities that the alliance was made to fight is growing smaller with every passing day. Mixed blessing may it be, for the number of internal threats of the Earth Sphere seems only to grow.

[saikyocivrobo]

Mixed blessing indeed, considering that I started piloting to fight giant monsters, not humans. Stop squabbling and work together against outside threats for at least a few minutes, people!

However... Is that really the case? How many normal human factions are still at war? Because if we discount those that use giant monsters or magic... Not that many, I would say.

[fermionprincess]

Well... there is Kairos Aspida of course! Dare I say, quantity bows down to quality this time.

[saikyocivrobo]

The old aphorism that our battles prove over and over again, hmm?

[Prometheus pretends to flex his non-existant muscles, to show he's the embodiment of that aphorism.]

In a way, fighting Kairos Aspida lets you put things in perspective.

[fermionprincess]

Could it be...

Kairos Aspida is the White Chalice society's evil twin, the shadow of one's soul?

If they are such polar opposites of us, that would explain why they seem so nice and benevolent on the surface!

[saikyocivrobo]

Ouch, that's harsh. Accurate, but harsh.

What I meant is that usually our opponents have the advantage in quantity, but quality is on our side. But when fighting Kairos Aspida, it turns around. Fighting them lets you experience how does it feel to fight us.

[fermionprincess]

Ah.

There is also that, yes.
