[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.]

No, no I'll be good, I swear! [He wants to pilot one of these things so bad he will behave. Please don't take the awesome giant robot away from him.]

[feastorfamine]

[.... ohhhhkay...]

I don't want you to just be good. I just want you to take things seriously.

[solvethepuzzle]

Isn't that the same thing?

[feastorfamine]

In my experience, they can be quite different.

[solvethepuzzle]

Well, whatever. Good. Serious. I can totally do that. [And he actually adopts a serious look here. Whether he's convincing or not is very much debatable.]

[feastorfamine]

And are you confident that you can keep it up?

[solvethepuzzle]

Uh-huh. Absolutely. I can do it, I promise. [Or he'll actually try. There's a giant robot at stake, here; he will make the effort!]

[feastorfamine]

Fine then. But you're going to have to prove it.

When do you think you can get out here?

[solvethepuzzle]

I can prove it. You'll see!

Oh, I can hop the teleporter any time. I'll make time for this. [He actually has nothing else planned. What is planning?]

[private]

[feastorfamine]

Alright tnen. Here's the specific location.

[and she provides that, along with directions]
