Recall

[demonofjeeha]

[After that mission, Gurren is a freaking WRECK, with blast marks, a half-melted shoulder, and a huge slash right down the front. Kamina is unhurt, at least, beyond the normal bruises from getting bounced around the cockpit in a fight, and what kind of professional manly man would let those slow him down. He is curious about something though

It sounds like it wants you to go back to base for repairs.

[Laura's peering at the screen as part of a general "what is this mech and how did you trash it so bad?" inspection.]

...Er, have we met?

[demonofjeeha]

That's why I brought it here, though, why's it still bugging me.

[He looks down from the cockpit to see who's talking.]

Hey there, I'm Kamina, heroic leader of the Gurren Brigade!

[emorangerpink]

It might want to go back to a preset location. Some machines have systems like that in case the pilot is incapacitated. ...You don't know how your own mech works?

[Kamina sees Laura in techy mode, ponytail and engineer's overalls.]

I'm Laura. I help out around the hangar. I guess you must have come aboard while I was off the ship. Come aboard from...?

[demonofjeeha]

It just kinda, works. I dunno how.

[Laura sees Kamina in normal mode, shirtless and with a kinda dumb look on his face.]

I found you guys after leaving some shitty little podunk pit village in the middle of no where, it's not important.

[2hell_weride]

Uh... dude... these...

These look like coordinates man. Remind me... where did you hijack this P.o.S. from again?

[[Though admittedly, he likes the paint job.]]

[demonofjeeha]

These weird beastmen guys kept attacking us, so I stole it from them.

[2hell_weride]

Then... this is probably their base...

[demonofjeeha]

You think so?

[book_o_phile]

Oi don't tell me you're having trouble reading that.

[demonofjeeha]

Can't be good at everything.

[book_o_phile]

Well it looks like I can be of help here then.

It's telling you to return this machine to this coordinates. It's probably because of all the damage it took during that last fight.

[Kurou looks almost too proud here.]

[demonofjeeha]

I stole Gurren from the badguys, so maybe this is their base!

[an_alpha_wolf]

Resnick boggles, not at the warning but at the fact that Kamina doesn't know what it means. He hasn't yet recognized him.

"That is your mech telling you it has been thoroughly damaged and needs repairs."

[demonofjeeha]

"Well obviously. That's why I brought it HERE. It's still complaining about it."

[an_alpha_wolf]

"Those numbers are coordinates. The recall point. Who owned this mech originally?"

[demonofjeeha]

"I stole it from a bunch of furry guys. We don't know a lot about them, just that they show up some days and attack any human they find. We call them beastmen."

[not_genki_desu]

...

You can't even fucking read?!?

[And Kei's just gonna push Kamina out of the way and try to figure out what's going on.]

[demonofjeeha]

[Kamina is surprisingly hard to be pushed, and in fact pushes back, resulting in an awkward tangled pushing fight in Gurren's cockpit.]

I read it fine!

[not_genki_desu]

Yeah, after taking your sweet ass-

[But Kei stops as she starts to read up the information being shown to her.]

... Huh. This is... odd.

[demonofjeeha]

Just because-

[He stops when her attitude changes, probably saving him from a beating, as his hand was about to grab her chest.]

What is?
