[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.

But I had a job! I was m—morale officer, on my old ship! And a fighter.

... You were a fighter? [It's... okay, it's not impossible that he was in training; after all, she was about his age, roughly, when she first began to train for piloting, but on the same token, she's fairly certain he was more of a morale officer than anything.] Are you saying you were in the Fleet before and then came back?

[They better not have. You'll shoot your eye out, kid.]

I never got a gun, no! I had my special suit on that helped me run and jump and throw far!
[And he'd really like to have that back now, thanks.]
We fought all kinds of monsters. All kinds of sizes! Some of them were as big as a building! And some looked like people, but they weren't really people -- they'd spit nasty stuff that melted people's arms and bones...! They did awful stuff.
video
You won, right?
Re: video
I dunno... I got taked from my world. The fighting wasn't done yet!
I was waiting for my dad to come back and get me. He's real strong fighter.
video
[Or would, if she'd had a dad to speak of. Instead, she nods.]
I bet.
Is someone looking out for you on your ship now?
video
Mmm... not really. Kinda! But it's okay, 'cus I'm really good at taking care of myself.
I've done it lots before.
