Coming Home

[soylent_genki]

((You probably didn't notice it with all the flashy new super robots, battleships, and TROMBE! that showed up after Friday's battle, but Kusuha and a battered Grungust Type 2 are back too, Kusuha in the infirmary getting checked out for further injuries, bombs, etc.))

Everyone...I'm back.  I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused.  I don't know exactly

So glad to have you back! Everyone missed your energy drinks, you know!

[soylent_genki]

Thank you, Tasuku.

Really? You all did? I'll have to be sure to make some again later!

[wetnoodleguy]

Are you sure about the other people part though, Kusuha? Because it sounds really ominous...

[soylent_genki]

I can't remember anything I saw or heard, but...there were definitely other people there, and I don't think they were just Aerogater commanders.

Hello. You don't know me, but I heard about you from your boyfriend. He promised to save you, and it seems he was successful. I'm glad.

1/2

[soylent_genki]

B-boyfriend?! Who do you...I mean...

2/2

[soylent_genki]

Um...well yes...Bullet and the others did...

Ah, anyway! Aren't you my new roommate?

Reaction just as keikaku.

[cantbeatnanoha]

That's right. I was going to tell you this next, but I see you already know it. My name is Teana Lanster. I am a mage from Midchilda, but I currently work with GDF.

Speaking of GDF, maybe there really is nothing impossible for its members if they are brave and determined enough. I have proof of it now.

It was an absolute pleasure, my lady. Your safety is of chief concern to us. Are you sure you are well? No reoccurring side effects, or anything similar? We wouldn't want you falling under such sinister control again.

[soylent_genki]

That's what they're checking me out for...I think the theory is that Ingram was using the T-Link System and some kind of hypnosis, and that they can fix the system so that doesn't happen anymore.

...haha, even getting captured I managed to be a good test pilot...

[dai_trombe]

I'm sure you're an outstanding young pilot regardless. If anything, your experiences should inspire you to fight all the harder against such villainous behavior. And, of course, we're fighting right along with you.

[soylent_genki]

I know, Maj--er, sir, and I really appreciate it.

[cursedlikeyoko]

People being controlled...?

[soylent_genki]

Yeah...at least a few of the Aerogaters' other pilots felt like maybe they were...or it could have just been a mistake on my part.

Oh, I don't think we've met. My name is Kusuha.

[cursedlikeyoko]

...I see. Is that what they've always done?

We haven't. Sara Cruz.

[soylent_genki]

I don't know. Except for Ingram Plisken, myself, and that other person who was ordering me around, they've only ever deployed robots. I only have vague impressions of what things were like at their...well, wherever I was. Come to think of it, we don't even know where they operate from because they're so advanced at warp travel...

And it's nice to meet you, Sara.

[grandtheftmecha]

Kusuha! Damn, it's good seeing you back safe and sound.

[soylent_genki]

Lieutenant! It's really, really good to be back. I hope I didn't worry everyone too much...

[grandtheftmecha]

Pff. Figured you just needed a nudge in the right direction to get over it.

...and any worrying we did about you wasn't too much.

[soylent_genki]

...*thinks about that for a second*
