1st Plan; voice

[The voice is measured, disciplined, but rather young:]

This is Armin Arlert, cadet of the 104th Scouting Legion, reporting. I arrived to an unknown location approximately one week ago, and have yet to meet any others from my group, or anyone with knowledge of our war with the titans. While I have currently determined the situation to be safe, even hospitable, all evidence suggests it will not remain so. Should anyone out there who serves under Generalissimo Dallas Zackley receive this message, please respond! [A pause, and there's a slight break in that resolve.] Please... I-I can't have been the only one to...

[After a moment, Armin clears his throat. He is shaken, but continues:] To everyone who arrived here prior to this month, I would appreciate any assessment of the situation or perspective on the war and the time-and-space transportation that appears to have taken place. Suggestions for further reading on the subject would also be appreciated.

[It's clear he's a bit worn out by making this message, though fighting to sound brave.] Thank you.

( knowledge was often the best pacifier, so it is no trouble for him to attach a fun-sized version of his own personal summary of recent events from late april onward. kaji had taken note of the what that had transpired before his arrival, but it was mostly speculation on his part due to the fact that no one was able to confer with him. and so, he leaves that part out, if only to avoid a misconstruction of information. )

It's best to start with the basics. Look into the library in your free time. It might do you good.

No problem.

It's been sanitized, of course. But it's just as important to figure out what they think we should know, whether or not it's actually true.

You seem to have a lot of general knowledge in a various areas, you're already a cadet an armed service, and you have enough initiative to take up your own mantle. ( and it looks to him that the boy was highly principled in certain respects -- much more so than many adults he's known. )

All this, at your age? My, any parent with a child like that would be buried in good fortune before the day was out.

It's more out of curiosity. You're a military kid. What kind of training have you had?

Well, as they say, you're in good company. Where there's struggle, there's strength.

( something tells him he's not referring to greek mythology. )

Titans?

I see.

We're not so at odds. I know of extraterrestrial giants, known to us as Angels. They come to reach a size that surpasses three digit meters, though they don't concern themselves with consuming human life.


( they just want to merge with a giant crucified white mass buried within the depths of japan and bring about the destruction of earth, really. )

No matter where you are, there always seems to be a force driving mankind to extinction.

Well, some people might find peace in that. But I don't want this party winding down sooner than it has to.

Yes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Armin Arlert, call me Kaji. You'll meet many people here who are of the same mind.
