Meet-n-Greet
After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

Ah, the joys of being a Fafner pilot.
"I'm Kazuki, by the way," he says, in a weak attempt to change the subject.

"Kira Yamato. It's good to meet you."

"So where'd they take you from? I'd just gotten home after a big battle, so I'm hoping things are still going good at home."
no subject
A pause. "You were fighting?"
no subject
"I'm a Fafner pilot," he says, before remembering no one else he talked to knew what that was. "It's a, uh...giant mecha."

He pauses a moment, then decides to actually describe it.
"It's about 90 to 100 feet tall--" he'd never bothered to actually look it up. "--sorta humanoid, with a flat, oblong head and rounded armor. Does that sound anything like what you're talking about?"
no subject
Whoa. What were the odds of that?
no subject
About 1:1, around here."That sounds about the size of a Gnosis-model Fafner," he says. "The mass production ones are smaller than the Nothung and Salvator models."
He pauses.
"Are you a pilot too, or are you just familiar with your own world's mecha?"

He sighs.
"Me and my friends didn't know anything until about a year ago. Our parents, who were the people in charge of the project, hid the island from the rest of the world so we could live a normal, peaceful life until the time came to fight."

He'd lost a number of friends because of everything, but at the very least he knew there were still people left back home, waiting for him to return.
"We didn't so much win the war, as figure out how to make peace with the Festum. They're a hive mind, so their way of thinking is completely different from ours. It wasn't until they assimilated..."
He pauses for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.
"...some humans...that a couple of them began developing distinct personalities. Those ones began to sympathize with the humans, and we figured out a way we could coexist in peace."

He shakes his head and sighs. There wasn't much he can do about it right now.
"You said you were in a war too, right? If you don't mind my asking, what was it over?"
no subject
At Kazuki's question, he feels a slight twinge of discomfort, but pushes it away. "In my world, there are genetically-enhanced people, too... they're called Coordinators. There are a lot of Naturals - people who aren't genetically modified - who were afraid of what Coordinators could do, and there were a lot of Coordinators who just saw every Natural as inherently inferior."
"Even though most of the Coordinators went up to live in PLANTs - space colonies in orbit - there was still a lot of tension between them and the Naturals down on Earth." Kira's expression is distinctly sorrowful, now. "It got to the point where an anti-Coordinator group took control of an Earth Alliance ship and destroyed a PLANT with a nuclear missile, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians."
He looks back at Kazuki. "It was a horrible tragedy, but when the PLANTs retaliated against Earth in revenge... both sides were just causing more and more pain. They were giving each other more reasons to continue to fight."
