001: Redeployment

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

[ There's a large white mech kneeling on one knee at the beach, with a certain young drywall standing by its foot.  If you're close enough you'll realize he's talking; what's more, the mech seems to be talking back. ]

Al, all intel points to this being the same island as last time; if Miss Renge's testimony holds true, then that's the case.  Confirm.

{Affirmative, Sergeant.  The geographical layout is identical, as well as the undefined barrier surrounding the perimeter.  This would seem to be the "Island".}

I thought so.  Nearby familiar AS units?

{Negative.  No identified units in range.}

No surprise.  Very well, then.  We should begin a sweep of the island, to confirm whether any of our former allies are still present.  Do you still have visual data on those persons?

{Affirmative.  I can recognize them on sight.  In particular, if I find Miss Hisui, should I tell her you want to give her a handshake?}

You're not funny.  In any case, please advise if any such targets are located.



(( ooc: Sousuke's officially back!  Regular font is his speech, {Bold font is Al} (the Arbalest's artificial intelligence).  Come talk to the giant robot!  Or, you know, Sousuke.  I guess. ))

I'm not sure I would call him--

[ ... why are you naked. No, seriously. Why. ]

{Sergeant, contact appears to lack any external armor. Engage at your own discretion.}

I don't need 'external armor'.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Even in a warm climate such as this, it would be advisable to at least obtain minimal cover.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

Everyone has a problem...

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

It's your decision. I am simply trying to offer some input.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

And why would that be?

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Because it's indecent.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

Figures. I just don't care.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

I see.

There may be children present, you are aware.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

I repeat my last statement.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

... I would ask that you reconsider.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

... Fine. I'll never hear the end of it if I don't.

*proceeds to walk off, only to return in short time, wearing... costume 05, Southern Cross, on this list (http://reinhart.wikispaces.com/Jacqli%27s+Costumes).*

Your cooperation is most appreciated, miss.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

So, from what I overheard, you've been here?

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Affirmative. I am familiar with this island and all of its unusual tendencies.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

Sucks to be you, huh?

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

I certainly believe it could be worse.

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but that's like saying "I got punched into the stomach three times, but at least I wasn't stabbed there", since it doesn't change the fact you got punched three times.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

But it is still certainly better than getting stabbed; that is irrefutable.

So are you saying that, just because one of them is better, you would want either to happen?
