first strike.
[ There's a brief fumbling of the feed before a dark-haired, dark-eyed, dark-skinned face comes into view, countenance stoic and lips pursed thin. When he speaks, his tone is low, stern, and straight to the point, almost cuttingly so. It seems this person doesn't have much patience for beating around the bush. ]
This message is intended for members of the Initiative. I am currently seeking information regarding an organization known as "Celestial Being". If any of you have details regarding their current whereabouts, please contact me immediately.
...in addition, if you've happened to see [ hesitating ] sparkles of some kind in the sky, or anything else out of the ordinary, let me know. Thank you.
[ Yeah, that totally wasn't conspicuous at all. Going to be shutting that feed down now and definitely not muttering tersely in the process. ]

voice;
Incredibly. [ A considering pause. He supposes some information won't hurt. ] They're bright and green. They look a little like falling stars.
[video]
[That sounds similar to a comet according to her, wtf.]
I'm not sure why you're asking about them, but all right.
voice;
[ He sounds as if he's about to say something else, but stops himself at the last second. ]
Well, just keep an eye out for it.
[video]
You're enchanted by their beauty, aren't you? I see.
voice;
That light saved me.
I won't abandon it. For the sake of tomorrow, I'll find it again. That's why—that's why I'm asking.
[video]
[She's taken aback by his words, but slowly nods as she tries to understand.]
I hope you're able to find what you're looking for. It can't be easy in a place like this one.
video;
I will. I'll find it, and I'll survive. And if I can help those who suffer, and save them with that same light... I'll do it.
That's what it means to be "Gundam".
video;
With that attitude, I'm sure you'll get what you want. It's admirable, really!
[Confusion reigns over, however, with a furrowing of her brow.]
"Gundam"?
video;
Nothing for it now, though. And she didn't seem the sort to go around spilling the beans, so... ]
That's what my... what the machine is called. Gundam.
[ Setsuna, you suck at talking to girls. Why do you suck so much at talking to girls? ]
video;
What type of machine is it, though? A plane, or...?
[Because that description doesn't really say much.]
video;
[ Evidenced by the fact he's clearly struggling to do it. ]
It was built for fighting, but it's more than that. Like a person, but made of metal. It has a heart, a mind of its own. It can reach others, speak to them. Do the impossible.
But if the United Earth's gotten a hold of it, there's no telling what sort of damage it could cause.
video;
[Wait a minute. Her gaze softens a bit.]
You're its pilot, aren't you? No wonder you're so concerned about it.
video;
Yes. That machine, that Gundam, belongs to me.
video;
A robot would be pretty difficult to miss. I don't think anyone has seen it either.
video;
There had to be a way back to Gundam. ]
As I said before, I'll find a way. Gundam... no, everyone is counting on me.
It's my responsibility. I have to do it.
video;
If you say so. I'd wish you luck, but it doesn't sound like you'll need it.
