[Signum's in bad shape in the hospital wing. Artificial human or not, taking a beam like that through the chest is no one's idea of a picnic. Agito missed the worst of it, but she is likewise recuperating in a small makeshift bed on Signum's nightstand. They're both stable, but it's going to take a long while for her to recover

Captain Signum!

I heard terrible things happened on the mission. I'm so glad you are alive.

There were rumors Laevanteinn got destroyed. It.. is not true, is it?

[deadlyinpink]

Do you see Laevatein anywhere?

[Is Signum pouting?]

[cantbeatnanoha]

It could be under repair right now...

I see. I'm sorry.

[deadlyinpink]

He's been around as long as I have. It's a bit...well, it's exactly like losing an arm.

Spoilers: I have no idea what rank everyone has. Pulling it from my ass as I go.

[cantbeatnanoha]

Could we recreate him? Like how Major Yagami's Rein Zwei is the reincarnation of Reinforce?

I think Hayate's a Lt. Col., but you're close

[deadlyinpink]

If we had something to work with, I suppose...it's not that important, though.

He...well, it was a willing sacrifice. Somehow, even though he was only an Armed Device...

[cantbeatnanoha]

To protect their master... it really must be the most basic impulse shared by all Devices, no matter how advanced or rudimentary their personality.

I will honor his sacrifice, rather than worry about it. Please try to hold it together in the meantime, Signum.

You're telling me that? If I were Nanoha or Vita I'd have fifty laps out of you.

...I'll have that anyway if you tell anyone I was getting this sentimental.

[cantbeatnanoha]

I understand, ma'am. I most definitely didn't see you acting surprisingly emotional. That would be too strange and my mind would block it instantly.

[deadlyinpink]

Obviously.

[cantbeatnanoha]

I do not know what would I do if I lost Cross Mirage. Not only is it perfectly suited to my combat style, but it has been with me since... well, it is my brother's memento.

[deadlyinpink]

Laevatein and I were literally made for each other...

[cantbeatnanoha]

I wish I could do something about this... But it seems, sometimes the best you can do is to continue living. For the sake of those who do not anymore.

[deadlyinpink]

Heh. I should be telling kids that, not the other way around.

...I appreciate it, but I'll be fine.
