[On White Chalice's deck, Lily's five friends from Angel Force are loading a stasis pod on board of their ship. Inside the pod, behind a big round glass, there is Lily Rain EVE, or rather what's left of her. Even though her whole body is badly damaged, most of her left side is missing and there is a huge hole in her chest, the expression on her face is almost serene.]

Lily... No... I can't believe this is happening...

All we can do at this point is take her back to Cosmic Ark... And hope it's not too late...

[Mark your response as 1 if you want to talk to Angel Force, 2 for reactions/mingle.]

Everyone, please listen, this is important. After almost a year since he appeared last time, we finally managed to track down the location of the One-Eyed Don, Jack Barlock. Finding this dangerous Chaos space pirate is the reason I came to Earth in the first place. Finding, and eliminating.

I need to thank my flight-focues friends from Angel Force for making this discovery. Without them and their advanced radars, we probably would've still kept looking.

Aw, come on Lily, it's not like me and Aquila did all the work! Everyone helped.

... [Nod.]

Here is how we're going to do this. First, a group consisting of my friends and volunteers from White Chalice lures out Jack Barlock's army, trying to get them as far away from his ship, Black Gangoot, as possible. Then, when his defenses are weakened, another group (including me) moves in to attack him directly from the opposite direction. Don't expect him to give up peacefully - Jack Barlock and his Pirateroids are corrupted by Chaos, the only way to stop them is to destroy them.

I'm looking for volunteers for both groups for this operation. But bear in mind, neither group can be too large, or else the One-Eyed Don might notice us first, or figure out what's going on and flee. Small strike teams will work better. And please, be careful - Jack Barlock is ruthless and resourceful, and has been lying low for almost a year now. I don't know what new weapons might he have came up with in the meantime, but expect the unexpected.

[OOC note - the bait group is not the one that's going on the mission.]

[After the battle with Invaders there's a new ship in the hangar, similar to Lily's but not trashed and significantly larger. And she herself is busy reuniting with its crew! But not busy enough not to make an announcement.]

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to someone. My friends from Angel Force are here! Thanks to the navigational data I've been sending back home, they were able to cover the distance between Cosmic Ark and Earth in just a few weeks - just in time to help us in our last battle. Let me introduce them one by one...

Winberrl is a support specialist, very good at hindering her enemies and healing allies. She's my best friend on the whole Cosmic Ark!

Wow, Lily, you've grown so much since we saw each other last time! In more ways than one, if you know what I mean.

Er, moving swiftly on... Aquila is a heavy flier, one of the largest Cosmic Ark warriors, and carries impressive firepower. He's also very dedicated and dependable!

...Affirmative.

He doesn't like to talk much. Now, Crimrose is a light flier, making her extremely mobile and fast! She's a very popular girl and almost everyone on Cosmic Ark knows and likes her.

That's right! You could say I'm the face of this whole group!

And finally, there's Jikun Ho and Jikun Long. They're brother and sister and both are really talented martial artists! They constantly bicker about whose school is more powerful!

You just had to introduce us from the worst side, Lily? Besides, everyone knows Golden Tiger is stronger.

Keep thinking that, little brother. Wait, why are we bunched together when everyone else got a separate introduction?

Umm... And that's all of my friends! Please make sure they feel welcome on White Chalice!

[The robots in question can be easily found in various parts of the ship from that point on, watching the weirdness of humanity or just doing their own thing. In addition to Lily alone or the meeting with the whole group, you can tag any of them separately if you prefer.]

[Late at night, Lily is sitting atop a crate on the deck, watching the incoming moon. It's barely noticable for a naked human eye, but she's a robot and can zoom in her view like a big ol' cheater.]

This thing... It's ironic how it's so dangerous and probably filled with terrible monsters, but from out here it looks so calm, even beautiful. Don't you think?

[It's a bright, sunny day. And where's Roads? Shut up inside the hangar, tapping away at a computer, pouring over printouts in the dark. Typical.]

Hmm...

(2)
[Newtypes of the ship-Roads has asked for a series of practice 1v1 mecha duels with you all. And so now it's the Zweilicht, loaded up with all its equipment, standing off against your unit of choice.]

Ah, thanks for doing this. It should be a big help.

(3)
[Outside the gym, there's a sign that reads: "DARE YE CHALLENGE THE MASTER?!!!!", with a small picture of Roads below it. Inside, he's practicing punching a bag. There's some intense concentration going into each and every punch-it's a solid thirty seconds between each hit.]

1. (the Arboretum)

[Laura's on bad form. It turns out Shifter powers can keep a giant electrified mecha shield from killing you if you get too close, but not from doing a fair bit of damage. So, while those powers are in turn helping her recover quickly, for a while she's stuck taking it easy - and avoiding contact with anything mechanical, because she's still getting zapped by door handles.

And anyone mechanical, which is just unfair.

And her hair looks stupid.

So she's sitting under a tree, trying to read an (ordinary, paper) book, and failing as she keeps dozing off. Actual human (or non-) contact would probably be viewed as a life-saver...]

2.

Nuan Chun? Xue Yi? You're not hiding anywhere you shouldn't be, are you?

[Being under doctors' orders to take a few days off from her hangar and kitchen duties, Laura thought spending time with her goddaughters would be a way to turn the setback around. It turns out seven- and four-year-old girls are not in fact undemanding people to spend time with. And now that they've talked her in to playing hide and seek, she's starting to get a little frantic searching for them.]

"Alright... testing of the Code Green: Casshern Restraining Bolt one-point-oh... take one!" "I swear to god, if I get killed, my wife's suing the captain! In a Brittanian court!" "And... go!"

Casshern was standing at the far end of the room, looking somewhat nervous. He had his helmet on, when the main, clad in a full suit of armor and a bulkhead in between them ready to snap closed, was already shaking. "I said, and, go!" "FINE! Damn, I'm sorry, I don't wanna have my guts ripped out."

The main raised his beam rifle, pointing it at Casshern. Immediately, Casshern's berserk mode sensed the threat, and his facemask closed, his eyes lighting up.

"TURN IT ON!" Casshern started coming towards him, slowly, threateningly. "TURN IT ON!" "I'M TRYING!" Casshern started walking faster, just slightly below the speed of a normal human running. "Turn it on or shut the bulkhead, come on!" "There!" And finally, after the eighth time of pressing the button, Casshern suddenly dropped to his knees, his hands on his head, as if he suddenly had a massive migraine. After an agonizing thirty seconds, Casshern fell to the ground, passed out, his eyes wide open. Somehow, they had shut him down.

[2]

When the restraining bolt was deactivated, Casshern can be found in the infirmary, his hands palms pressed into his closed eyes. "They didn't have to make it so painful," he complains. And sure enough, on the back of the base of his neck, well-hidden by his hair and the high collar of his combat suit, was a small, square protrusion of something that appeared to be jammed into his spine. A restraining bolt meant to temporarily disrupt his AI with looping, hanging codes injected into his most basic runtimes, causing his OS to crash. This would happen when his berserk mode activated at an inconvenient time, and would be handled only by Ayame, who would be alerted by Dan the moment Casshern went psycho.

However, Casshern had been informed that his unique healing abilities and rapidly evolving and highly-advanced nature of his AI made it unstable at best and potentially unreliable at worst. Meaning, Casshern was still going to have to undergo routine software maintenance to ensure the restraining bolt still worked. And when that happens, they're praying that they're able to shut Casshern down before he caused any serious damage. Until then, they were still working on contingency plans for if his berserk mode activated while on the ship, he was still under 24-hour surveillance by Dan, and it was still mandatory that nobody do anything that could be construed as threatening directed at Casshern.

When someone would pass by his open door in the infirmary, Casshern would try to get their attention. "Could you... get one of the doctors for me? Or maybe Ayame?" he'd politely ask. "I'm... kind of curious as to what happened to that blood sample I gave. And I'm still having those nightmares every time I shut down."

[Ready to see something weird? Good.

Lily is sitting on a swiveling chair, rocking to the sides and spinning in it, humming to a tune only she can hear with her eyes closed. And there is a cable jacked to the back of her head, leading far back to the open door of her ship in the hangar, where it connects to the main computer. Several windows are open on its screen, including lots of text in a weird language, something that looks like a working sound program, and really strange culinary recipes (made from human food). And the text is appearing in real time.

Suddenly, an antenna extends from the ship's top, energy starts to crackle around it and then explodes into a wave with noticable WSHOOP sound. Then it goes back to normal as if nothing happened.]

Hello again, Chalice! My vacation time with Laura and Dita is over now, and we're all back on the ship again. I hope my presence wasn't missed too much...

I'm happy to hear that there were no sightings of the One-Eyed Don or any of his crew in the meantime. I guess he still decides to keep it low, especially after a much more powerful alien force invaded? I'm sorry to hear that they attacked, and that I wasn't here when it happened, but now that I'm around, I'll be able to offer my help again! In combat, or otherwise.

Now, to put all this stuff into my room. Hopefully the mess is not too big... Um, wait, is this still recording?

[The feed ends here. Feel free to respond via video or in person, though.]

[The Chalice is still moving west across the Pacific when a few familiar faces arrive in the hangar, hot on the heels of a familiar ship heaving in to range over the horizon. The Nirvana's back to supplement the Chalice's mini-fleet again, and it doesn't take long for a shuttle to bring the three tourists back aboard, along with the supplies and souvenirs they've brought with them. The three are as refreshed as you might expect after a couple of weeks' vacation in a place like Meijire, but Laura's also looking concerned at what she could see of the ship on the way across, and what she sees in the hangar.]

So - what happened while we were gone? We didn't get much news after leaving London... and it looks like the Chalice has been through a lot...

((OOC: Laura, Lily and Dita have arrived back on the returned Nirvana! This thread is for people wanting responses from Laura alone, or for more than one of the trio. Dita and Lily will both have individual posts up shortly.))

1. [Right after the whole island-extermination mission, you can find Roads sitting in the hangar, looking up at what's left of the Zweilicht. He's not looking so hot.]

2.[Later, Roads is doing a network post thing.]

Right, so...I've kept my past private, because I'm not really proud of what I've done. I hoped to keep it that way, but seeing as an old friend is now trying to kill me and anyone who gets in her way, you guys have a right to know. So here goes. [He takes a deep breath.]

Up until about three months before I joined the White Chalice, I worked for a mercenary company by the name of the Black Valkyries. You may have heard of them-we were noted mostly for our skill and ruthlessness. Let's see...Probably the most notable action we did was play a bunch of sides off each other in the Gucun civil war, greatly accelerating the nation's implosion and making ourselves filthy rich in the process. Before you ask, yeah, Cheng knows about that. If you want to talk to me about it...I'll be around.

muginami_desu

1) Of all three Vox pilots, Muginami is the last to regain consciousness, and in the worst state possible. Needless to say, she feels horrible - mentally more than physically - after what happened. There's a note there on the table for her too, but she doesn't bother reading it.

You might be around the infirmary for one reason or another as she wakes up, and if you were on the mission, you'd know that she has a lot to answer for. Feel free to question/bother, but don't expect too much...

---

2) After 1, Muginami can be found wandering the Chalice, as if she's looking for something. She doesn't seem to be interested in most things, but she does stop at a few locations, including the wall with the names of the deceased, the Arboretum, and the deck.

Maybe you could help her find what she's looking for?

[The day after the large night battle, some pinging electronic noise is coming from the inside of Lily's ship in the hangar. The door is open so interested people can peek in to see her sitting in front of the ship's main computer, wrapped in a blanket. There's text on the computer's screen, with several more tabs open - apparently the robot girl fell asleep in the middle of writing something. And hey, she's muttering through her sleep.]

Mumble mumble... Book of Darkness... You're a person even if you're a weapon...

...Just five more minutes...

1. (the hangar)

[After the chaos of the fight, the hangar crew are working overtime on cleanup duty. Laura's pitching in, flying around in The Great Pretender, righting fallen mechs and clearing heavy objects.

For now, though, she's in the open cockpit of the Knightpolice she's been working on in her own time for the last while, and which came through the confusion blessedly unscathed. There's one last finishing touch to cap off her modifications to it, and this is just the time to make it. There are some odd whistling noises, a fan whirring, and what looks like - no, it's not smoke, it's steam rising...

Laura sinks back into the pilot's seat, out of armour and so with her leg propped up in a cast, and takes a deep, satisfied drink from the mug with the 501st's insignia emblazoned on it.]

Ahhh... got the kettle working at least.

2. (the Arboretum)

[Even using the Pretender for all her activity, Laura's under doctor's orders not to push herself too hard, so she's sitting untransformed under a tree trying not to scratch at her leg in its cast. She's not exactly relaxed, though - tapping away at a tablet, it looks like whatever she's reading or writing is giving her some grief.]

They probably won't even recognize me. Maybe they'll just think it's a sick prank.

Good evening everyone. My name is Yui Sendou, and after today's events, I hope you don't mind if I make my home here. I look forward to working with you all, and hope we have a good time together.

[Later, you can find the girl wandering around the ship. If absolutely slaughtering the unconscious Dimitri earlier weighs on her at all, she certainly doesn't show it...]

Strangely, he doesn't seem to have been asleep at all...]

1. (the hangar)

[Now that is at once a familiar sight and a strange one - Laura's back in armour, the silvery Gothic plate of The Great Pretender looking just like it used to. Well - not quite, for while the armour itself looks the same, the mist that used to accompany the use of her powers now surrounds her so thickly the edges of her form look hazy. The mist seems to follow her directions - at a gesture, a portion of it gathers in her hand and condenses into a translucent crystalline blade. Looking startled, Laura goes to adjust a piece of discarded armour plating nearby - and looks even more startled as she easily lifts it from the deck. Interrupt?]

2. (out and about)

[Over the course of a couple of days Laura experiments with the changes to her powers, figuring out what she can and can't do any more. Out on the deck, in a cleared space in the hangar, in a training room on the Asura - do you run in to Laura as she's experimenting, or perhaps act as her wingman when she tries taking to the skies again? Or did she perhaps come to you looking for combat instruction?]

3. (the Arboretum - locked to Dita)

[Picnic time! In a different part of the Arboretum to Laura's usual corner, though still a less-frequented one, she's invited Dita out to test her latest attempt at replicating a Mejire dish. She watches nervously as the other girl samples it.]

Did I get the seasoning right?

I promised... to return...

The Shifter still had some unfinished business before she could collapse. Mustering what little remains of her strength, she stumbled in a zombie-like gait to wherever her husband was at the time.

And once she makes it there, she just stands in the doorway. And stares.]

The moment they'd docked, the pilot had been one of the first ones off the ship, one of the first to walk into the city - and one of the first to disappear from sight. For the past two nights, he hadn't returned to neither the Chalice nor the Ptolemios, preferring instead to spend his nights under the sky regardless of temperature and weather. It was more comfortable: That's what he told himself anyway, but it all came back to those two. One whom he considered a good friend after a fashion, if a strange and cold one. The other a gentle heart whom he had frightened off, yet somehow still had affection for. Both of them, gone: without them there, the atmosphere of the Chalice was suffocating.

Too many memories, fond ones and tough ones alike: He remembered the cryptic conversations he'd had with Devon. He remembered her times of weakness, few as they were. He remembered sharing a few moments of his own weakness with her. "Even Hallelujah seemed to like her - after she'd scared him half to death." Then there was the other one, the one he'd never really gotten a chance to know. Nonetheless, Laura haunted him as Devon did: always an uplifting spirit, always a sight to bring a smile. He'd barely knew her, yet the stains of pink were just as prevalent as those of black on his mind. "If only I'd gotten a chance to know her better..." And the worst part, he hadn't even been there to watch them in their final work. He'd been miles away, brooding as he was wont to do.

And what did that get me? I never got to see their faces during their last action. I won't be able to properly honor their bravery... and I'll probably never see them again, so what use is it to wish forgiveness? I can't even find it in myself to grieve properly: Damn me, and damn everything I am. What use am I? A broken weapon, so lost in trying to justify my own existence that I let the people who don't need me to justify myself slip away and die.

It's with this mindset that a familiar passerby might find Allelujah, sitting under the shadow of a tree with an expression as dark and stormy as the gathering clouds. He doesn't seem to want company, but a few words might do him good.

Current Mood: melancholy

The other a gentle heart whom he had frightened off, yet somehow still had affection for. Both of them, gone: without them there, the atmosphere of the Chalice was suffocating.

Too many memories, fond ones and tough ones alike: He remembered the cryptic conversations he'd had with Devon. He remembered her times of weakness, few as they were. He remembered sharing a few moments of his own weakness with her. "Even Hallelujah seemed to like her - after she'd scared him half to death." Then there was the other one, the one he'd never really gotten a chance to know. Nonetheless, Laura haunted him as Devon did: always an uplifting spirit, always a sight to bring a smile. He'd barely knew her, yet the stains of pink were just as prevalent as those of black on his mind. "If only I'd gotten a chance to know her better..." And the worst part, he hadn't even been there to watch them in their final work. He'd been miles away, brooding as he was wont to do.

And what did that get me? I never got to see their faces during their last action. I won't be able to properly honor their bravery... and I'll probably never see them again, so what use is it to wish forgiveness? I can't even find it in myself to grieve properly: Damn me, and damn everything I am. What use am I? A broken weapon, so lost in trying to justify my own existence that I let the people who don't need me to justify myself slip away and die.

It's with this mindset that a familiar passerby might find Allelujah, sitting under the shadow of a tree with an expression as dark and stormy as the gathering clouds. He doesn't seem to want company, but a few words might do him good.

Current Mood: melancholy

[Lily rushes down the White Chalice's corridors! Well, floats is a better way to put it. Hopefully she or those disattached wing-things won't slam into anyone.]

Oh no, I overslept!

Laura, Dita, everyone, I'm sorry! I wanted to go on the expedition too, but when I woke up you were already gone! Please, be okay without me!

[She'll try to contact them via radio. Hopefully the Tower isn't too far away for that yet.]

Hi everyone, I'm back. I had a restful trip and mom and dad send their best. I had to go back to refresh my excuse for staying with you all, and they seem all right with it. I brought cake, so please take some. There's about three in the fridge, and it's enough to feed everyone as long as they limit themselves to one slice each.

[2] Nanoha was back to full strength, despite the downer mood everyone was in. She had gone out to the practice rooms and she was knocking a juice can around with a Divine Shooter. Raising Heart was counting down the numbers as well.

[21, 25, 34...]

Once she got to 100, she knocked it into the trash, or at least tried to. "Awwww it bounced again?"

[3] Nanoha's been picking at her food, not really hungry as she worked on some math homework. She had returned with an armful of homework and she promised her mom and dad she would get it all done. Currently she was working on some mid-elementary math problems. The page was already half completed and she had scribbled trig equations in the lines.

[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.]

[Hey, Lily looks different! More mature and refined and taller and stuff. No, she doesn't carry that gun around usually, though these flying wing-things are still following her. In fact, she can float freely now.]

Mission accomplished. Kissril has been destroyed, together with most of the One-Eyed Don's forces. He'll probably go in hiding for a longer while now, but what's important is that he won't get his hands on the ancient weapons - one of them has been destroyed, and the other one...

Well, she's a part of me now. Her name is EVE. Together, we are Lily Rain EVE. Don't worry, I'm still the same person as before - she's just, you could say she's in my heart now. We're carrying her burden together.
