driftfleet | [video] we'll turn the moon to blood

Who: Asuka Shikinami Langley
Broadcast: Video, Fleetwide
Action: SS Red Fish
When: 3/8

[Asuka is sitting on her bed, with a bright red notebook and pen in hand and a slight frown crossing her face. She's still wearing the same form-fitting red-and-purple combat plugsuit she's been in since her arrival. For once, she doesn't look so much annoyed as she does wary, though honestly, with her, it's hard to tell.]

This is Asuka Shikinami Langley. [No wave. She scribbles something on a notebook page that's probably just a line and not any kind of script.] I have a few questions for everyone. The more people that answer, the more accurate the survey, so I suggest you tell me.

[All business. Asuka would applaud herself for her own professionalism if there was any point. There's no telling how long it'll last.]

First, I want to know your nationalities. Second, I want to know what your occupation was before the Fleet. I'm trying to figure out if there's a pattern to the kidnappings or any groups that get targeted more than others.

[Which is what the notebook is for. She really doesn't trust the network not to bungle everything at Atroma's whim. There's a brief, reluctant pause, and then--]

Before you ask, I was born in Germany. I was a pilot before, too. That's all.

I don't want anything like that. [Asuka's religious upbringing begins and ends with celebrating Christmas. Besides, she can't remotely picture needing a wedding, much less a confession. Ratings or no.]

Was exorcism something that appealed to you, or was it just a job?

The former. I was found to have the ability for it, and I agreed to join because it seemed like a way to help people. [Dead people, but hey whatever]

How old were you when you joined? Does it still seem that way?

About 11, though I didn't finish my apprenticeship until I was 15. [ And wow that's a too personal question that he feels like giving to a stranger, so he's going to give a vague answer. ] Generally, yes. Though I get more utility out of my medical studies here.

I was fourteen when I started to pilot. [Asuka considers. The guy sounds as if he's been here awhile, so--] From what you've seen, do people's augments seem to fit what they've been trained for before, to an extent, or not?

[Fourteen seems pretty young...but yeah, he's not about to judge it. He's heard younger]

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I've seen plenty of doctors get the lab support augment, but I've also seen people get augments completely unsuited for them.

[No pattern there, either. It's a shame.]

All right. Thanks for your time.

No problem.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
