[[Action]]

[Those of you who pay attention to such things may have noticed that Lockon has been gone for a few days. Haro and Cherudim are gone, too. Where did they go?

Well, that question will be answered here and now. For from out of the portal to Earth-G00, an unfamiliar mech emerges -- and very nearly bangs those things hooked onto the rear of its waist on a nearby overhang.]

[[Inside the cockpit (Not broadcast)]]

Suck less! Suck less!

Hey, cut me some slack! I'm not used to this bit storage configuration.

Don't make excuses! Don't make excuses!

Geez, you too? ...Hey, when's the last time you guys had maintenance?

...

...

Trying to avoid self-incrimination? Don't think your silence can protect you.

[Later, the new machine can be seen in the mecha hangar, and Lockon climbing out of its cockpit, followed by his ever-present Haro and...a blue Haro? Yep, Lockon's got a pair of Haros helping him pilot now.

[[Video]]

Hey, I hope I wasn't gone too long. I was pretty busy back home, so I ended up staying for a few months. Someone mind letting me know how long it's been on this side?

...Anyway, it's good to be back.

[chaos was doing maintenance on ES Asher, when Lockon came in with his new machine]

Pretty impressive there.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

You like it? It's the newest model produced by the organization I work for back home.

[mysteryboychaos.livejournal.com]

Is that shielding? It's not like our mechs.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

You mean the racks on either side? Yeah, those are a type of shielding. They're actually a series of bits that can be controlled remotely to block enemy attacks.

[mysteryboychaos.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I'd like to see it in use sometime.

A few days, by my guess. You missed a lot, I'm afraid. I would advise you not to wander the hallways alone too much. Some sort of dark creature has been spotted wandering the complex and managed to kill one of our agents, though thankfully not in a permanent sense.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

...A...dark creature?

Re: [[Video]]

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

So it seems. The Special Task Force has been dispatched to deal with it, and we're investigating. Still, you should watch yourself, and if you see anything like it, run and notify Enforcers. There should be a beacon in your PDA for that.

[[Video]]

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

An emergency beacon, huh? I didn't realize our PDAs had that.

And I also take it that we know zilch about this thing.

Re: [[Video]]

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. We had an invasion of some very odd machines earlier too. They did not do a lot of damage, though.

[[In the hangar]]

[duo-death-god.livejournal.com]

That looks like a Gundam. What happened to the old one?

[[In the hangar]]

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

We're putting together some new machines, but we don't exactly have a lot of materials. So we took Cherudim's frame and used it to build Zabanya here.

Re: [[In the hangar]]

[duo-death-god.livejournal.com]

Probably smart.

So how'd you end up with one in the first place?

[[In the hangar]]

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

My brother was a Gundam Meister before I was, but he got killed in battle. So one of his colleagues searched me out and offered me the job.

[duo-death-god.livejournal.com]

Sounds like your whole family got involved in the war.

I'm assuming there's a war, because you don't get Gundams without a war going on.

A few months, huh? Just been a few days here, dunno exactly when you left.

[Video]

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Just a few days, eh? That's gonna take some getting used to.

Re: [Video]

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Y'know... it kinda seems like the longer you're gone, the more condensed the time you were gone for gets...

[Video]

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

I noticed the same thing. Just look at how long Lachesis was gone compared to me.

...Care to place a bet on how long it'll take before that theory gets flipped on its back?

Re: [Video]

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Probably by the end of the year.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

A few months? That is a while.

[Lachesis isn't too sure what to think -- It seems she's on the receiving end of an incomprehensible time jump this time around. She feels vaguely annoyed, for some reason.]

It's been about two or three days. Welcome back.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I can adjust back to CO's calendar quickly enough.

Thanks. Like I just said, it's good to be back.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Hopefully, you can adjust to CO quickly enough, period. Someone's told you about the new threat, I hope?

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Ran gave me a rundown.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Unfortunate that it would happen so soon after our last battle. This will be resolved more quickly, hopefully.
