White Challice- This is Amuro Ray, formerly of the Earth Federation Forces

[phantompilot]

...The White Devil himself, huh.

[newtypeamuro]

That was a long time ago now.

[phantompilot]

Still, you were pretty famous back during the One Year War.

[Gives a smile at that.]

Ah, where are my manners? You can call me "Shiro".

[newtypeamuro]

It's nice to meet you, then. We'll be working together now, so I'll do my best.

[zetahatsudo]

So it really is you... Amuro Ray, the White Devil of the One Year War.

[Kamille bows before Amuro!]

Thank you! If you didn't intervene when you did, I'm not sure if the two of us would have survived!

[newtypeamuro]

I'd heard rumors about new Gundams being developed... It's only a coincidence that I was already there to investigate on my own.

I'm glad if I was able to do some good.

[zetahatsudo]

[Kamille nods at this, standing upright again]

So, that Mobile Suit you were piloting before, was that really the Gundam? It looks kind of... Battered.

[newtypeamuro]

Gundam's taken it's share of beatings, and it's been a long time since we've been able to resupply and repair properly. Don't let it's looks fool you, though- we've still got some fight left in us.

[aceshighsword]

[[So, this is Amuro. Well, it's certainly best to not openly state Char is here...]]

Good to meet you, Mister Ray. [[She gives a proper salute, no pants and all.]]

[newtypeamuro]

[Amuro returns the salute automatically, Opting to tastefully ignore said lack of pants.]

Likewise, I'm sure... Just 'Amuro' is fine, though.

[aceshighsword]

[[She doesn't seem to mind lacking them. But you do get her to hesitate at that.]]

I'm Major Mio Sakamoto, leader of the Strike Witches squadron on this ship.

Are you sure you're comfortable with me calling you by your first name?

[newtypeamuro]

[He gives a nod.]

I'm more comfortable than that than I am with formalities, and I don't have an official rank anymore to speak of.

[bakaribbon]

A-Amuro Rey!? Wow, it really is you!

S-say, can you help me learn how to pilot mobile suits? I'd have asked Char, but his suit uses weird brain magic, so I don't think he'd be much help...

[newtypeamuro]

Char!?

[bakaribbon]

Yeah, he's-

[Slowly dawning realization that she just told Amuro his archnemesis is on board]

W-wait! He's actually a pretty cool guy!

[newtypeamuro]

[All frowns here. Sorry, he's a little distracted now. You know, unfinished business and all that.]

I wouldn't know about that.

[mydutyisnotover]

It seems that a lot of living legends are coming to this ship.

[newtypeamuro]

I don't think I'd go that far... I'm just a regular freelance pilot, now.

[mydutyisnotover]

Still, expect a lot of younger pilots to recognize and look up to you.

[newtypeamuro]

I suppose that's to be expected... In that case, I'll have to try not to let them down.
