1st Strike ϟ - Anonymous Text || Action for UNIT № 6 0 5

[ Text; ]

[ This anonymous message will be posted for everyone in Exsilium's network to see. It is simple and easy enough to understand. His wish is simple enough actually. He just wanted to know what drove these people to fight.

What was so attractive about a war that wasn't theirs to begin with? ]

Are we expected to fight simply because we have the weapons to do so? For those who are fighting, what are you fighting for? How certain are you that you are fighting for the right reasons?

[ Action; ]

[ A few hours after sending the message, he can be found taking apart his tablet. He was studying it and searching for anything that would resemble a bug. Kira is understandably very cautious by nature and takes his privacy very seriously.

Whoever enters the unit will notice messily arranged parts from the tablet and tools on the floor and Kira in the middle of all that chaos with a serious look on his face. ]

I'm fighting because they asked us to, and to protect my home and friends. I don't see why they'd give us false information or anything like that, so... I trust The Initiative and I want to help out. I don't know if I'm fighting for the right reasons, but they're what my heart thinks is right so I'm going for it.

[He knows this person can't see him shrug, but he's still going to do it anyway. But man, talking through text makes him feel so impersonal... It's courtesy to reply in kind though.]

[ Sorry, Hilbert. This guy is too serious for his own good. ]

It is true that the Initiative has done nothing to make me not believe it ... but at the same time I don't know if I am ready to put all of my faith in it. Until I am sure I am full of nothing but questions. 

I am sorry for all the questions. I just don't want to make a mistake. 

Not again

[Looks like someone needs to loosen up. And get a chip off their shoulder.]

It's not my business to ask about your past mistakes, but as long as you've learned from them why not try again? Since you know better it can only go in the way you want it to.

Anyway, I don't mind the questions, so you can shoot off some more!

[ That chip is as big as a boulder. Might take a while.

The way he wanted to? A lot of things back home always happened that doesn't go the way he planned. Tolle and Fllay's death for example. He still blames himself for their deaths. ]

It doesn't always work that way. I realize that. 

But it's alright. The rest I will try to figure out myself. If I can't do that, then I really am useless. 

But thank you.

No one's really useless, but that's not exactly something you want to hear from someone you don't know. There's always something someone can do - even if something small, like say hello. A meeting might just change your perspective.

[It happened to him, anyway.]

I'm Hilbert.

[ Somehow, this person seemed so idealistic. It reminded him a lot of Lacus.

Kira ... was still suspicious. He wasn't sure if it was alright to give him his name. But if he was going to be here for a while he was going to have to learn how to trust the people here ... and he had to start somewhere.

This anonymous text was too impersonal. He shifts to voice. ]

Kira Yamato.

[He'll return in kind. With voice, that is. Hilbert's glad for the switch and sounds pretty relieved.]

It's nice to meet you, Kira. Whew, I like talking better than texting any day of the week!

[ That was amusing. ]

I apologize for that. I seem overly cautious, but I assure you I have reason to be. That is why I value my privacy ...

Ahh, I got it. Can I ask what your reason is? It's cool if you don't answer, I'm just a little curious.

Err --- lets just say that my name is popular to the wrong kind of people.

A bigshot, huh. Got it. So are these people here or something?

[He's even lowered his voice, even if there's really no point to it.]

I just talked to my sister ... and it doesn't sound like it.

[He's got a sister.

And she's here.

Hilbert wonders if she's cute.]

That's good. Then you can be more open and make friends! They'll have your back if those people appear.

[ Very cute. Only that she never bothers to wear a dress or look like a girl, but even he would say that Cagalli was very attractive. ]

Sorry, Hilbert but ...I usually don't want to involve people in my problems though. This goes especially to my personal problems. My friends are important to me after all.

[It sounds like Hilda. They'd be good friends.]

Oh, I got it... [Hilbert's nodding, but that can't really be seen.] To be honest, I probably wouldn't let my friends in on something secret either unless they asked me about it directly. Especially if there were people out for me and all. I know they can handle themselves, but the possibility of them getting hurt is just something I don't want.

[ Kira will introduce them someday maybe. ]

Yes. That's why I myself need to be strong. [ Depending too much on his friends is dangerous for them ... and himself. He could never forget Tolle and Fllay. ]

I am not against making friends ... but a little distance ... would also be good for them.

I'm sure they'll understand that. Everyone wants to protect people important to them, so...

[Hilbert pauses, and continues with a very obviously smiling tone of voice.]

Since I know your deal and all, let's be friends. Distance included. I won't ask if you don't want to tell.

Thank you for being understanding. I'd like that. You do seem like a pretty good kid.

[ It was strange .. though they just met, he told Hilbert a lot more things than he usually did. His name. His sister ... ]
