[Devon made her way to the hangar. Not to help with the ANIMa, but because she suspected Sara to go there eventually. And she wanted to talk.]

So, you are the other ANIMa pilot.

You're young.

[no_int5_foru]

Thanks? I guess I'm probably the youngest one here, too...

[emorangerblack]

People rarely can pilot anything at this young an age.

The world was a place of turmoil during the last seven years. Be prepared for more fighting. A lot more.

[no_int5_foru]

Aw, man...I should have figured, though. Even before the Bliss, everyone tells me things were pretty bad.

[notimemachine]

Tell me more about this "ANIMa Creche".

[no_int5_foru]

That's classified.

Just kidding! It's basically a tank of water we sit in to project our ANIMas out onto the battlefield.

[notimemachine]

Probably a fairly delicate and complex piece of hardware?

[no_int5_foru]

Parts of it are. Derek said most of the sensitive stuff was in a blackbox to protect it, though, so all we really have to do is bolt things together.

[bakaribbon]

So...there were people living in San Francisco?

[no_int5_foru]

Yep!

...I'm almost as surprised there were people living outside San Francisco, but I just knew there had to be.

[Locked, hackable response]

"...Apparently I'm a Leo. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, though."

[he pauses]

"Sara, if there are Nightmares elsewhere, we have to stop them. And it's a real threat. You know that da wouldn't let two pilots, even us rookies, out of the city unless it's a real threat."

[no_int5_foru]

Maybe you're a lion? I don't know why I'd be a scale, though...

And of course! The colonel does a lot of things I don't get, but sending us out to fight's pretty obvious! I kinda feel bad, though, leaving Anna and Derek alone to protect everyone by themselves...

[bittervictor]

"Good judge of character or something? I don't know."

He manages to suppress a sigh as he adds: "I'm surprised you didn't mention KC."

[no_int5_foru]

Er...well, he can definitely handle himself, right? He's got the most powerful ANIMa and everything...

[of_10_faces]

[hasn't read or heard of anything like this before]

A creche?

[no_int5_foru]

Or a cradle! We use them to project and control ANIMAs!

[of_10_faces]

How interesting. I've never quite heard of those before.

[no_int5_foru]

I guess if the Nightmares didn't attack anywhere else yet, you couldn't have made ANIMas...and obviously we couldn't get out.
