Hey, uh... Shiro? That was your name, right? The one in that Gespenst?

Hey, don't be so upset that your robot gets smashed. Those thing're like, a dime a dozen it seems like. What you really need is a unit just for you! Something that'll react the way YOU want it! No offense, but they're kinda like cannon fodder. When you can find so many of them, they really can't be expected to perform above a certain level! Heck, maybe in four years, you can get one of the colonies to make a G Fighter for you!

**Allenby never knew Simon well, but all the worry from everyone else was starting to wear sympathetically on her. Rather than get frustrated and yell at or to people who probably couldn't do anything, or do something reckless like JAILBREAK, Allenby decided to work out.

However, it's not the usual 'punch things into oblivion' kind of workout most everyone's used to seeing. It's gymnastics, and she's even using a ribbon with all her graceful tumbling and stretching.**

You're starting the tests over again! You can't!

I don't care if that happened... I mean, I do care but I hate tha-

SO WHAT! Just get rid of it! I can fight just fine WITHOUT IT! I don't need the stupid thing to win the Gundam Fight!

**And here's the point where Allenby actually storms out of the room. In-person comments welcome and encouraged**

Did everyone else see that stuff about Naturals and Coordinators? That girl mentioned Newtypes too? Wouldn't that just mean that... Naturals are normal people and Newtypes are like those Coordinators?

I don't wanna really get involved, but isn't everyone just human no matter what special powers they have?

But... I like fighting. There's different kinds of fighting too, aren't there? Like the Gundam Fight. Sure, it's got a meaning behind it, but it's still a sport. I like fighting for sport, but I'm not gonna to punch someone because they're different. Unless they did something wrong to me, then it's just coincidence.

Well, hopefully it's not really any of our business, but... I get this feeling it's going to be.

Oh come on! Somebody fess up already! You know my crew's really mad that they had to send me up here just to paint. I don't mind goofing around sometimes, but my machine wasn't meant for painting!

Hey... Axel... Did you ever come up with something to take care of that thing we talked about? I've... got a match coming soon and I don't want it to be used, at all...

So, everything finally getting back together! That's great! And I've got my matches coming up too, so it's like everything's almost better than before. And we've got like, two bases now right?

So, I guess I need to let everyone know I'm staying at the tower, at least while the Finals are happening.


Hey Prinny things, you should come watch my match! I'll show you what awesome really is!

((I've been busy with RL and lack of internets so this post is intended to be set shortly AFTER return from "The Battle of Tepplin"))


I... couldn't even make it. My crew refused to let me sortie. Because I wouldn't fight the way they wanted me to... they cut connections to the cockpit...

I'm sorry everyone.

**There's a sound like someone dropped their fist on a table**
I don't care! I don't want you using that thing when I'm on a mission! OR EVER!

Nobel Gundam took considerable damage because you had us barred from the hangar. This could have been prevented

SO WHAT! You said it was only for the Gundam Fight, and I don't even want to use it anymore!

Doctor, she's been showing considerable improvement without use of the system

That's not important. The Gundam and the system took considerable damage because the system wasn't used. It will be used on your next mission.

NO! It won't! If that's how it's going to be, I won't pilot it!

Allenby...

That's not entirely your choice now, is it. They can charge you with treason if you refuse to sortie.

UGH! **Some doors slamming, feet stomping, and mostly grumbling before she realizes the dumb thing was on and shuts it off**


((Italics is the lesser friendly Crew leader for Neo-Sweeden. Underline is D.r Belliman, the one who actually tries to care.))

So, this is the EDF place huh? Just another military base I guess...

But, it's probably not all that bad! I hear Neo-America and Neo-Japan's fighters are here! They'd better let us go to the Finals when it comes around too! I didn't come all this way just to not fight!


And hey, what's with that big crater outside? Did somebody's machine blow up or something?
