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.

"Hopefully," Kazuki said with a solemn tone. "The adults had lived with the war against the Festum for the past thirty years. It's them I'm worried about not being able to accept 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?"

"That's true," he looks out the window at the stars. "They've probably lost a lot. It might be hard for them."

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."
