"[How did things go after Tocatlan? Heard you all were kept busy peacekeeping.]"

: [Oh, is that what they're calling it? I suppose if you count destroying materiel and munitions so warmongers can't use them to, well, warmonger, then that could loosely be described as "peacekeeping", but it's not how I'd describe it. All I recall doing is fighting, only sometimes there were Huits we weren't supposed to strafe or shoot down.]

She drops her usual tone and briefly takes up a more serious demeanor.
: [A word of advice: do not go asking Musashi about what happened back there.]

[Qwepir]

"[...alright. I'll leave it alone then. Out of curiosity, why not?]"

: [Because she won't want to talk about it, and she'd probably prefer not to think about it.]

[Gojira]

"[Alright. What happened to her, if you don't mind me asking?]"

[Qwepir]

"[Alright. What happened to her, if you don't mind me asking?]"

: [Oh, where to even begin?]

She takes a moment to gather her thoughts before proceeding.
: [I guess the best way I can put it is that she feels guilty about being sidelined for so long due to her injury. That probably sounds really pathetic, but I think you just had to be there. The Delta was falling to pieces and all she could do is sit in a cot and watch.]

[Gojira]

"[Thank you. I'll be careful around her. See you around.]"
