[There's only so long Rinoa can go without poking at the network, even if she has had a few dubiously enlightening conversations with various people already. Whether Rika really believed she'd find her friends by using the network, Rinoa really can't say; however, if nothing else showing her face would probably flush out anyone she knows if they're around. Not to mention it really does seem to be tradition to introduce yourself on this thing. Go figure.]

[So she starts up the camera on her device without even fumbling over the controls and then offers any potential viewers both a cheerful wave.]

Hey there! Sorry if this gets asked a ton, but I'm still a little fuzzy on just what we're fighting for. I'm sure they tried to tell me the other day, but it all started running together partway through.

[Too much information at once. Which is why she's spent a while poking around on the network, but honestly she's probably more confused now than she was when she started.]

My name's Rinoa, by the way. I guess it's probably pretty obvious that I haven't been here very long yet.

The important shit that caught my eye was those United Earth assholes going back to our homes and taking shit for the war. It's gonna be over my dead body if they build cars as awesome as mine or get their hands on razor bows.

But I guess it depends on who you ask on what they're fighting for. Me? I want the Age of Metal to stay like it is, and for the other guys in the same shitty boat as me to be able to go home safely.

[The amount of this that she actually understood was a pathetically small amount. The heck is an age of metal? Still, she understands at least part of it, so all is not lost.]

Let me get this straight, the Initiative gets people and the United Earth gets stuff?

[Or did she understand it? Who knows.]

[asskickersunite]

Not exactly. So far as they told me, both groups are using similar shit. Only the Initiative is using it to take us, and the United Earth are using it to send their goons back to our homes and steal shit from them.

That's the basic gist of it.

[unlikelyrebel]

Right.

[Sounds like what she said to her, but she'll take his word for it.]

Thanks for letting me know! But.... what exactly happens now?
