"Tieria Erde."

Someone else was doing his job, too- but not without his own priorities. The voice of the Gundam pilot he'd backed up a few weeks ago spoke out behind him, gun cocked in a probably unnecessary gesture of seriousness, but then they were Gundam pilots, after all.

In fact, Heero would have guessed the sentiment was not his alone.

The stonewall seriousness in his face was probably a bit familiar, too.

Tieria wasn't startled when he looked up, even managing to maintain the deadpan look upon seeing the gun. He recognized that voice, certainly. He placed the tools down to reduce the threat he might have represented, not that he looked like much, but then this teenager before him didn't look like much either... a bit wirey, maybe slightly over muscled... but he recognized the demeanor.

Setsuna.

"You're the pilot of the winged Gundam," he said simply. He stood, leaving his hands relaxed at his sides for now, but visible, as he noted the gun's aim tracking his movement.

It was too often that Heero was underestimated due to size, or age... Enough so that it had become a comfortable advantage. Though, not so much that he allowed himself to relax into, either. In any case, he wasn't expecting to be underestimated by someone who was themselves a Gundam pilot- while it wouldn't do to give him too much credit, it'd be downright stupid to underestimate Tieria in exchange.

The gun was kept evenly locked on target.

"And you pilot for a group calling itself Celestial Being." It was a demand for information and explanation, rather than a question in itself. But, like the pilot of Exia, he wouldn't ask in so many words.

"Mn." Tieria hesitated, lowering his head slightly with a serious look at the other man. Yes, he had identified himself. However, just how much information about Celestial Being's purpose did he want to reveal? It was clear this Gundam pilot had no idea what the group was. In his world, the public message from Aeolia Schoenberg made sure everyone knew who Celestial Being was and their purpose. Being able to identify himself in such a manner and still have people not recognize anything about it was quite a novelty

"Private. Owned or operated by whom?" Not that he knew much about the history or movers of Tieria's world, but the idea of things, rather than the actual details, was more important to him anyway. Tieria was correct in his assumption.

"Heero Yuy."

It was still his codename- whether or not others around him had adopted it as his 'actual' name in their eyes was not of concern to him.

"Define 'unification'."

"Private," Tieria confirmed. "There were several involved in funding that we were not informed of. Celestial Being's survival counted on strict secrecy, to the point where every member had a codename and was forbidden to discuss their lives with their teammates." In otherwords, if Tieria even knew everyone who had dipped a little money into Celestial Being and anything around it, he wasn't telling.

"Textbook," he then said about the term unification. "We are acting as a catalyst, giving mankind a reason to form a single world government in order to better prepare for what they might encounter while expanding into space." However, he was getting annoyed now.

"And you? That winged Gundam, is it yours?"
