Just for show

Char has only one focus in mind when he reaches the hangar - well, technically, two.

Sure enough, there stands his Sazabi, looking to be completely undamaged from its fight with the Nu Gundam standing next to it, despite Char having a rather vivid memory of it being nearly totaled no more than a day ago, tops. Pleased as ever, Char mounts the scaffolding next to it and makes a beeline for the cockpit. He doesn't have any particular plans for the unit (although Nu being right there within punching distance made vandalism awfully tempting), he just feels the need for the familiarity of its cockpit, and the psycoframe system, in the strange, strange new world he had suddenly found himself in.

"Never thought I'd be this attached to a unit," Char mutters to himself as he starts the machine up and dons the psycommu helmet unit to link up with the sensor and weapons systems. "I must be getting dependent in my old--"



"Wh-what the hell is this pressure?" Char practically yells once he's connected to the psychoframe. "It's enormous...could it be the ship?"

Char takes the helmet off, disconnecting himself from Sazabi's psychic enhancement. He's breathing heavily from the effects of the shock. "That's going to take some getting used to."

"That isn't how it is everywhere. There are plenty of people who genuinely believe in the good of things and try to work towards it, whether it's politics or piloting," she responds, sounding slightly defensive.

"I only said it was my experience," Char says, mollifyingly. Or trying to be, anyway. "It might be that my universe just got all the manipulative jerks and all the sheep, for all I know."

"I'm sorry that's all you had the chance to deal with, then," she said after a bit of silence. "It sounds very disheartening."

"You're definitely not wrong there," he replies with a sigh.

"Maybe things will be different here."

"One can only hope, Miss Cagalli."

"It should be, when you think about it. What would someone have to gain here by acting selfishly? We all want our homes back, and not doing something for the good of the ship could easily mess that up."
