[Even though Christine had been back, she had pretty much laid low for awhile. However, recovering the remains of various Neo-Zeon and A-LAWS units as well as the new machinery that was given to them by Celestial Being and the AEUG got her to come out and take a peek. She'd blame it on her time with the DSSD and Julia -- helping out protecting everyone meant also trying to keep her weapons in top shape and, despite having the brand-spanking new Blue Shift, she wasn't going to let the old Zero Astray falter.]

You gotta be kidding me - a lot of these just looks like refined Zeon stock. Fancy Dom, fancy Gyan-type-thing. At least we got ourselves another fancy GN Drive for our own. Make up for the one we lost awhile back.

[She sighs and fans herself with the papers over the units they recovered.]

You realize how much this would help DSSD in the long run if they didn't put them to war machine use? That green unit had wire-guided hands. Imagine grabbing something out of reach without going there?

...

Y'know...

[And she's quick to scribble down a few notes, taking note of what they got, what she found interesting and adding in "Need to find a way to mass produce these without other groups using them..."]

1) Wow, um... y'know, I hate to say this so soon after Julia said this, buuuut... I'm going to be leaving the ship, too. I-It's not what you think - Lowe isn't going to kill me over my Astray, really! Just, well... Julia's leaving and, well... I wanna see what's out there, too. See just how much her dream's gotten her.

So, when she comes back, I'll be back right with her! And hopefully, things'll be much better!

2) [After revealing she's leaving the Chalice temporarily, Christine's busy looking over her ravaged Zero Astray. She can't help but letting out a small sigh.]

...I wonder if things could have been a bit different with Valentine and Victor. Victor was so dead set on trying to bring me back and Valentine... geh... no, I think she's a lost cause...

[Christine's... a little shell-shocked from the previous fight with all of those aces. It took her awhile to get over missing the chance of snatching up one of those awesome MP F-91s to let something else important hit her.]

...I fought the Blue Death... and survived. Oh, my God, I... I... holy crap, I fought an Ace and lived to tell the tale. I-I mean, sure, I ended up busting up Josh's mech by accident, but... I fought an Ace and escaped! I...

[Monsters, inhuman beasts, on-the-rampage aliens from another world? It seems like going up against a named Ace Pilot from the Federation and coming back whole seemed to register a whole lot more to her. Then again, when your machine's just a tricked up civilian suit, coming out on top like that is an accomplishment.]

Holy crap, I... wow...

[Richard had been out for days again, just like the previous times he'd use Ideigi so much. His mind was far from at ease however, and when he did finally wake up, it was with a shout...]

NO!

[Hard to tell what he was screaming about, but he frantically looks around, realising he's in the medical ward of the White Chalice.]

W-We got away from the attack... please, tell me, is Lily okay?! We saved her, right?!

[He... looks pretty desperate for a good answer.]

[If you look at the hangar, Christine's busy slumped over on a wall, looking like hell. This was the second time she sortied and ended up getting the short end of the stick. Even worse, this time, it lead to someone's death. Someone she knew and cared about on some level. Oh, sure, she wasn't as torn up about this as Laura certainly was, but still...]

Too weak, too slow, I let myself get the better of me... DAMMIT! What was I thinking?! I could have done something! Anything! Anything but what I did!

[She growls and buries her head in her hands.]

...What if that was Julia...? What if I couldn't have...?

[After that incident with the Festum (and being reminded about it awhile back), Christine's been thinking about how to alter that Astray of hers to handle those sorts of things now. The problem, she realizes, is that her Zero Astray thinks too much like a normal Mobile Suit. It needs more. It needs to think less like a Mobile Suit and more like her old suit.

Which is why she's poking at the Hizack that was left behind back when Kou was part of the crew. The Hizack was a good head above the Zero Astray and didn't run on battery power... and that was about it. There was nothing special about it.

Which is why she's asking the engineers to take a few moments of their time to help with lining the suits up to size them up.]


Hmm... I guess that could work. Add extra armor and a few feet to it. I mean, true, I might lose speed, buuuuut...

[It was better than nothing, in her mind.]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! STUPID LITTLE PIECE OF-- GAH!

[Was Christine mad? Yes, Christine was mad. Screaming and yelling at her ruined Zero Astray, there was that sense of helplessness and uselessness in her frustration. Those infected mecha, the Festum, all of that. And what was she doing? Just enough to live. She was way out-classed and it FRUSTRATED her.]

We could have done a lot more than just sit there and take potshots, especially at those Festum, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you're nothing but a pathetic piece of junk! And those Festum... those Festum... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

[She delivers a solid kick to the Zero Astray, causing her to reel back in pain as, even in her pilot suit, she could feel her foot being hurt by kicking metal.]

Stupid... idiotic...

[She's just trying her best not to be upset at how things just went so lopsided.]

[It doesn't matter where you might be, but it seems that Christine's in sort of a panic. Now that she found out that she completely missed Julia's birthday, she's dead set on trying to make up for it by finding something - anything - to give Julia as a present. Digging through shelves, the kitchen, poking at flowers...]

There has to be SOMETHING I could give her! This is so embarrassing...!

[Wanna poke her before she runs herself ragged?]

However, as she got to see her brand new unit, she couldn't help but... look a little disappointed.]


...this is it? It's so... simple. So basic. Where are the weapons?! They gave me a suit and forgot the weapons!

[It was then, she found the invoice it came with and saw why it was like that.]

DSSD... oh... I guess that makes sense - wouldn't need weapons for space exploration...

[She let out a brief sigh as she looked at the machine.] I'm gonna need some favors here...

[Seattle Colony! Home to both Julia and Christine. For Christine, at least, it's been a long time since she came home. Not since those days before joining Danconias Phillips. But, things have changed since those days. She's no longer boastful towards other Irgelions, she's much more in control of her ego.

And she has someone important in her life in the form of Julia herself.

That one still surprises her, then again, maybe it was something that was more of a foregone conclusion. She shook her head a little bit, pushing that to the side and focus more on the task at hand - being home.]


It's been quite awhile... it feels good to be home again!

[Laura's in the brig.

It's at her own insistence, as soon as she was awake enough to insist. Once the medics were okay with letting her out of their sight, she went in to a cell. She's staying there until as much has been done to confirm she doesn't have any more surprises buried in the back of her mind as was done for Cheng, and then some. And it's noticeable to anyone who's used to her appearance that her ever-present amplifier is not on her wrist.

If you want to talk to her, it might take a while. Aside from the exhaustion of the fight, she's spending some of her time awake curled up in tears or otherwise unresponsive. Still - if you're patient, or time your visit right, she'll be able to speak, if you have something to say.]

Especially since she fell for the dreaded "blonde moment" and completely missed the attack on the IS Academy. Or the look-around for that matter.

As such, she's been spending her time training. Especially since Julia got a little bit better in that recent fight. After awhile, though, even that's gotten boring.

As such, she's been trying to figure out how to make that tea the same way Dita did when she had that get-together with the other girls...]

Where does she find you?]

[Laura was a little surprised that Dita remembered the invitation, but after the events of the last few weeks a chance to unwind aboard the Nirvana isn't something she has any intention of passing up.

[And just like that, it was over. Adventus was gone, HALO destroyed and the world safe. Christine couldn't help but let that ring in her ears again. 'The world safe'. She had helped save the world. It wasn't through dirty tricks or through stupid causes. It was just... her. And everyone else.

At the moment, Christine's busy looking at her wrecked Solstice, armor banged up and missing an arm, and the prize she brought back - the Advent H-Type unit. The unit acted like the Hyperion, what with all of its barriers. While she still trusted her KDU, the idea of outfitting her Solstice with such a powerful barrier system, even if it had to be dumbed down to handle her unit, was something of a curious thing to check out.

For now...]


I did it. Saved the world. Wow... It's a little... overwhelming.

[By popular demand, here is the on-foot combat log!

And some combat it is. Most of White Chalice is swarming with human-sized hostile robots. Robots that try to zap people with electric cables shot from their hands, and explode in similar but stronger blasts of electricity when killed. Their current is set to stun, not kill - but that only makes the situation more tricky because as soon as they down one person, they try to capture and abduct them!

Also, someone planted many teleporters. They are small, the size of a tennis ball, and can be anywhere - on the ceiling, walls, the floor... new robots emerge from the teleporters en masse. Unless you find and neutralize these hubs as soon as possible, you will be overwhelmed.]
