--And here we are. What an intricate device it is, and its design is solidly made!

[ On the screen stands a young looking woman in regal red, bright garments. The device is placed at a distance so that the feed can transmit her entire body, and she looks vaguely amused. She gestures with her hand at the surrounding areas, and the slight smile on her face nearly drops entirely. ]

Yet this land I stand upon... Truly, how times have made this land that I once knew as Britannia to fall so low. It is a tragic sight, to think that it was once a part of my Empire, but I get the feeling that the world beyond the Moon Cell is exactly as how this place appears to be. Why, it does not feel as though I have left my own realm at all.

[ And at that, her eyes narrow and glisten with a sharp look. ]

But I know this is not the case. This... Initiative has torn me apart from my Master, and that is a sin I cannot forgive, despite how courteous they were to my presence and readily answering my queries. Hah! Then again, perhaps my situation is punishment for the sin of defeating a misguided Savior to leave the world as is. Yet I do not regret my actions one bit.

So tell me, those who came before, how goes this war that we are all unceremoniously made to participate in?

As it seems to set the others who have spoken of the same caution. Do we not have anyone seeking information on what our opponents could be up to?

[ She notices the way the woman is staring at her, but leaves it off for some more important matters. ]

If there are such agents the Initiative hasn't informed us of their findings.

[She gives a weary sigh.]

Honestly, they call this an army but we're little more than a gathering of warriors. There isn't a chain of command that I've been made aware off and there are numerous civilians with little or no combat ability in our ranks.

And no one has risen to volunteer and rise to that position of leadership? [ Ruler she maybe, but Saber would admit - well, to those privileged to know - that she'd fare better being on the battlefield itself than behind the position of a leader. Despite having the grace of Charisma, her stage is the battlefield. ]

The citizens should be given shelter and work outside of battle. I am content to believe that there are some of us here who accounts for armies by themselves to compensate for loss in numbers. This apparent lack of organization is appalling.

[Erza was one of those people who could be considered an army of one but that thought hadn't ever crossed her mind.]

To answer your question, no one has risen to accept that mantle. It's likely because few people would follow a leader they know nothing about. We share very little in common with the other Transports, save for the desire to return to our own worlds.

[She gives Saber an appreciative smile, wholly agreeing with the other woman's assessment of the situation.]

It's refreshing to know someone shares my sentiments. I'm Erza, Erza Scarlet.

Erza? [ Blinks. She refers back to her conversation with Lucy. ] Do you, perhaps, know of a girl named Lucy? She speaks of Fairy Tail Wizards and one who shares your name that specializes in "re-equip" magic.

Oh, you've met Lucy then? [Erza knows that she shouldn't be that surprised, Lucy was the social butterfly of their group after all.]

Yes, that would be me.

It is a pleasure. Her tale of your wizards and their specialties intrigue me. You may call me Saber.

The pleasure is mine. If you have any questions about the magic of my world I'd be happy to try and answer them.

[Saber... an unusual but strong name. Erza hesitates for a moment.]

Saber, do you have a sister?

[ Saber gets where that question is trying to get at immediately. ]

If you are speaking of the one who shares my face and title, she is no relative of mine. Call our shared looks an amusing twist of fate. For all I know, we could be centuries apart.

Ah I see. The closest thing I could relate is my Edolas-counterpart. We may have looked identical but we couldn't be more different.

[Erza Knightwalker was an evil mage-hunter after all.]

You'll have to excuse me, I should get back to my training. It was nice to meet you, Saber. I hope we'll get to speak again soon.

Very well. Perhaps we shall meet each other in a mission or training session, wizard. Farewell.

[ With an elaborate wave, Saber cuts the feed. ]
