[the screen turns on, showing Amy wearing a black and orange pilot suit and attempting to look as professional as possible]

Ah, hello. A lot of you probably know me by now, but... I have something I need to bring to everyone's attention. We have a lot that's going on right now, and a lot of danger is definitely headed our way. We have to be ready to face it... and I know that some of us out there may be Numbered who don't have a means of fighting back. People who don't have special powers or abilities, but want to fight by their friends' sides...

[Amy pauses and takes a deep breath before continuing]

Haro... pan outwards.

[there's a quick acknowledgement from Amy's cameraman, and the view expands to show that Amy is standing inside of a hangar. Standing behind her are numerous magneta colored mobile suits.]

I have a way for us to join the fight. They were found in the orbital elevator, and we moved them across echo zones via the Ghost Zone. You can call them the GN-XIII, and I can show people how to pilot them. They're of the same basic technology my brothers and the others used to pilot. I can't promise everyone will become amazing pilots overnight, but... I can help you join the fight. I can help give more people a fighting chance against... against whatever's coming.

Obviously, I would prefer to extend this opportunity to people who don't have special powers. It'd be... extremely superfluous to give them to people who already stand a fighting chance. If you want to throw your hat into the ring, we'll be testing these and I'll be giving pilot lessons in the Lapland area.

[ooc - so, hey! Like Amy says, this is an opportunity open to Numbered who don't have special powers and want to be able to fight in the days ahead. I discussed this with Kira and the whole thing is good to go, so if you'd like to throw your character's hat into the ring and they'd be a good fit for it, here's your chance to pilot a giant robot! Amy's from Build Fighters, but the basic concept of piloting a machine is the same, so she can show your character the ropes. The capabilities of each machine are described in the link above.]

Video (Yay, it's doppel-Nathan!)

[solvethepuzzle]

[Probably not a lot of people know Nathan. He's a little insular and hides behind text where he can. So the face on here may be unfamiliar, though the double has shown it on the network once before.

[And the face has an awestruck grin plastered across it.] Whoa . . .

[feastorfamine]

[Amy pauses for a moment... and then sighs. This boy is young, but... she can't afford to be choosey right now]

Are you going to gawk, or are you volunteering, kid?

[solvethepuzzle]

[Wow, he's the same age as you, Amy! Or his original is. Whatever. It's details.]

Oh, I'm totally volunteering.

[feastorfamine]

[she'd be surprised. He looks rather young!]

And you think you can handle it, then? I'm not exactly being choosey but I want to make sure you're up to the task.

[notbloody]

[Have the voice of a young child.]

I've been inside one of those! It was very nice!

voice;

[feastorfamine]

[she knows that voice]

F-Floweregg?! You've been inside of one of these suits?! When?!

voice;

[notbloody]

Eugen showed me around his!

[Not exactly the same, but there were definite similarities.]

Re: voice;

[feastorfamine]

I... see. What about your owner? Does she know anything about these kinds of machines?

[brotimaeus]

[He slides the aviator shades he's wearing down just a fraction to get a better look at what Amy is showing to them. While he personally doesn't really need one of those to fight - his own speed and strength give him an advantage already - it doesn't mean he's not all hells of curious.]

I'm not gonna take a spot from someone who needs it more, but you got any objections to people comin' and taking a look?

[He can't understand how anyone wouldn't want to do just that.]

video;

[feastorfamine]

I have no objections, but I don't think you have to worry about taking someone's spot.

That's not to say I don't want to be discerning, however. I need to make sure you can handle it, after all.

video;

[brotimaeus]

Yeah, I get that.

[He makes a small gesture with one hand as if waving off the concern.]

Don't think I need to use one, I'm just real interested.

[highly_gifted]

I have an understanding of physics and simple mechanics, and no powers to speak of.

[He's trying very hard to sounds collected and impressive and reliable and such but ROBOTS HE COULD FIGHT WITH A GIANT ROBOT?????? Sudden five year old being confronted with his first box of fischertechnik. AMAZE.]

[feastorfamine]

Hm, you have some qualifications, then. That's refreshing. So, you're volunteering then?

[highly_gifted]

Yes.

I can neither stay the whole day nor have a flexible schedule - that is, right now I do and can, but not usually - , but I would put as much time as possible into learning how to work these.

[He has to think of an encounter that he had before he wrote down his number for the first time.] Is there an old man working with these as well?

[voice]

[ruleorserve]

I'm not certain I'd be the ideal pilot for something of that nature, but if you require people to make certain they function, I'd be willing enough to offer myself to that cause.

[voice]

[feastorfamine]

That... would actually be helpful. Haro helps me along a lot, but it'd be good if I were able to get a full idea of what they can do.

[voice]

[ruleorserve]

I... should note that I've never worked with something that size before. But I can at least make sure that everything seems to functioning as well as might be expected.

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[Well, here's Rakka, staring at those robots like they're made of gold, eyes shining.]

[Video]

[feastorfamine]

Um... can I help you, Rakka?

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

....Um!

[She's jolted out of her thoughts by Amy's voice.]

Uh, maybe? Those robots are really cool...

[invinospiritus]

Those...

[dang. Gwyneth's not often speechless.]

[feastorfamine]

... Can I help you?

[dragon_blossom]

Yo. Those come with spacesuits that arent big bulky things you cant move in right?

[feastorfamine]

I'm using a suit I already had, but yes. Why do you ask?

[dragon_blossom]

my dragon turns into a giant robot. he cant do it yet but if i get the ability to fly, he was, in my memories, flying in like interdimensional space so i think he can go to OUTER space if need be

so i might want one just in case i fly up too high to breathe and im wrong or something.
