[The feed turns on to a serious young man as he examined the tablet in front of him, though that scrutinizing look quickly disappeared when he noticed that the video feed has turned on, in fact looking quite impressed at the device's speed before speaking.]

I don't know if this could be seen by everyone, but it's worth a shot.

[There's a short pause before the male continued.]

How many of you here received a weapon that's out of the norm upon your arrival, and can someone point me out to someone who is experienced with that type of training?

[Before he introduced himself, as per the usual protocols.]

My name is Athrun Zala, it appears I'm as much help as a beginner when it comes to information right now, so any more in addition to the Initiative's words would be welcome.

In passing. They seem nice.

[shortcaptain]

Nope. Guess you'll meet the other boy when he's back. [ A brief pause, and she glances at the hall behind her before directing her attention back to Athrun. ]

I hope it goes without saying that we'll keep all the common areas tidy and quiet.

[ Yeah, she's not enthused about having flatmates, especially not human ones. ]

action;

[selfdestructed]

I'll make sure to do just that.

[Fortunately he's pretty sensible when it comes to this thing.

He lived in a barrack, after all.]

voice

[selfdestructed]

Advanced technological weapons never are, I suppose.

[Don't worry he knows your pain.

Not.]

[selfdestructed]

Well, you are going to be living with them for a while after all...

action;

[shortcaptain]

Appreciated.

[ She folds her arms over her chest, surveying the room and her new roommate. ]

Well, I'll leave you to it.

action;

[selfdestructed]

Thanks again, by the way.

[He's going to give her a nod.

Well, this could've gone worse, really.]

action;

[shortcaptain]

[ She nods in return. ]

You're welcome.

[ And with that, she turns to leave. ]

[kindking]

That might be right.

Did you figure out how it works yet?

[goinbust]

"Wouldn't know, I'm no engineer and I was never crazy enough to strap one to my back."

voice

[selfdestructed]

Not yet, I'm afraid. But I should be able to within two weeks at most.

[He adapts quickly to new things, after all.]

[chargethesebatteries]

Hey, I know it takes a little getting used to. I can meet you someplace, if you like. take a look at what we're working with. Zala, you said? Nice to meet you, the name's Calhoun.

[video]

[selfdestructed]

It's a pleasure meeting you as well, Calhoun.

voice

[kindking]

Can you really do it that quickly?

voice

[selfdestructed]

You won't know until you try.

voice

[kindking]

That's not a good enough answer I think. Words are cheap.

voice

[selfdestructed]

Words not backed by action, that is.

[considering just words alone are indeed, cheap.]
