Such a life is not easily left behind. Yet I wonder how you came to that employment initially. Such a life is not for the world, but for the concerns of mortal, faulty rulers.

I... I make a communications and radar system that was considered advanced for its time. Due to my familiarity with the technology, I was recruited as a support member. I was never really a proper soldier.

And yet you served those interests.

Because it is a lesser evil to support those eliminating those capable of greater ones.

I don't have a lot of knowledge on proverbs but there's a lot of merit in what you said.

In any case, welcome. You appear to be new. My name is Peach.

I love reading! I study proverbs because I think they make some sense of the world... you know, knowledge is like a garden that needs to be cultivated for it to bear any fruit.

My name is Mei Ling. I am new, but hopefully not for too long.

From how you speak of it, I'm willing to believe that. I think I can respect anyone who takes such care in learning.

A pleasure, Mei Ling. Are you a student?

I'm a teacher, actually. Newly recruited. I think when I was university, that was when I really felt like I was at my creative heights, haha. So I'm giving back and teaching Data Analysis here. It should be fun.

Wow, someone else who was on the military? You don't mind me askin', what did ya do?

I don't mind at all! I was mainly support, not really out on the battlefield. I'm not really made to be a soldier so I just helped out those who were on the front lines.

Oh, pardon me. My name is Mei Ling. How silly, I forgot to introduce myself.

Heheheh c'mon, support is support no matter what it is. I don't understand everythin' about the military, I'm just a boxer from the city; but I totally believe soldiers need all kinds of help from all kinds of places or they ain't gettin' nothin' done.

I'm Mac! Nice to meetcha, Mei Ling!

Heh, you're right on the money there Mac. They're capable of getting stuff done on their own but they're only human like the rest of us. Hence the reason we're needed too.

So are you studying here?

That was really good! Maybe you could teach me haikus and I can teach you proverbs in exchange.

Oh, I didn't introduce myself... I'm Mei Ling. I'm a new teacher here.

Events? I've had my fair share of strange events so events of that nature aren't too alien to me. I think, anyway. What kind of events are they?

Oh.

I feel you are absolutely correct.

Returning the favor... so you are a teacher?

140_96 May 21 2011, 21:35:56 UTC
Indeed I am. My name is Mei Ling, I will be teaching data analysis.

And you are?

surpass May 21 2011, 22:55:55 UTC
Data? What sort of data is this?

N. N Harmonia, a trainer from Unova. [If he could be called that.] It's... a pleasure.

[MAYBE. HE'S NOT SURE YET.]

140_96 May 21 2011, 23:35:08 UTC
Enharmonia... hm. Interesting.

Oh, as for the data - in battle we collect lots of types of data regarding the battle such as the physical state of the combatants, tactics and attacks used, data about the physical environment et cetera. I'll be teaching how to look at it, optimise it and generally play around with it. Some call it 'nerdy' but I'd like to think it was 'curiosity with numbers.'
