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. ))

Actually, I'm keeping it hidden since it's currently undergoing some repairs. I'll let you know when it's fully maintained.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Understood. I'm not a mechanic, but I do know some basic maintenance. If you require assistance, I may be able to offer some help.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

All right, I'll hold you to that.

-- I'm Kouzuki Kallen, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

Sousuke Sagara. It is good to make your acquaintance as well.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Right. [nods]

So what else can this robot do other than combat purposes, do searches, and... talk? Damn, it's pretty expressive.

That information is classifi--

{I also have an mp3 player.}

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

That's--

[And she lets out a small laugh.]

... fine. My Knightmare isn't equipped with it, sadly.

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

Until my last stay here, I was also unaware. I learned rather harshly that he was equipped as such.

... What's wrong with an mp3 player?

[lambda-driven.livejournal.com]

The problem is that Al tends to activate it--

[ At that moment the Arbalest begins blasting Moonlight Sonata. ]

... unprovoked.
