GN-001 Gundam Exia Start-Up initiated. Priority to Setsuna F. Seiei.
Activating GN Drive System. GN Drive synchronizing. GN Particles stabilizing.
...System stabilized. Output at 99.72%. Still no outward signs of malfunction after repairs.
Exia's first battle in the City. As a Gundam Meister, I will fight, and end the distortion at its source.

...A storm, at such a time.
[ ooc: P-PLACEHOLDER sob. Also LOL @ BEING REDUNDANT BUT as stated here, please feel free to have seen a strange big robot-ish figure later in the night surrounded in sparkly green particles, comment in appropriate thread if you want to actually see Exia, etc. etc. My one request is that no one know that Setsuna is the Gundam's pilot, aside from. well. those who already knew beforehand. 8)
And no, in fact, Lelouch wasn't the one who did the repairs on Exia; it was Chase Stein, afterward Geass'ed by Lelouch to forgetting the Gundam.]
