[ There sure are a lot of handsome men around here, aren't there? Because this indigo-haired man with equally piercing eyes is just as handsome, and just as blunt. He frowns at the direct address. ]

Is it not common courtesy to introduce yourself first on your planet?

[ What's with the tone of voice this boy is taking with him? Just based on this short interaction, he can surmise that this Yzak is a bit of a hot head. Well, he's not impressed. Nor is he impressed with Yzak's title, clearly indicated by the expression on his face. ]

Dr. Ratio. Scholar and educator. A pleasure, colonel.

[ Was that just a bit of sarcasm behind that word? Nah, you must be hearing things. ]

Is that all? If so, leave me be.

[ Just wait till he hears the list of accomplishments under Ratio's belt.

A surprisingly civil response. He'd half expected the boy to explode in a rage after Ratio flippantly dismissed him. First impressions are not always correct, and he is glad to have it disproven.
]

I would be among the latter count. Earth is not one of the numerous inhabited planets that I know of.

[ And he knows a lot. A least a few dozen star systems, and hundreds of planets. Yzak, the man you are speaking to is an interstellar traveler. ]

At this point I must surmise that it is not connected to the star rail network, and potentially out of the IPC's sphere of influence.

[ Don't think too hard about it Yzak. It's totally just because space trains are cool. Most people use spaceships to travel anyway. ]

The Interastral Peace Corporation, an organization dedicated to serving Qlipoth the Preservation. It is not governmental by nature, but its influence is so widespread that it is essentially the arbiter of interstellar commerce and law.

[ Ratio scoffs quietly when Yzak chooses to focus on that. ]

Do not be fooled by the name. It is not a peacekeeping organization by any means. They merely seek profit, even if they claim that it is to stockpile resources for their Aeon.
Idiots, the lot of them. Qlipoth has never given their materials a single glance in all the Amber Eras the corporation has existed.

[ He has never held his tongue even when he was still at home, under the IPC's sphere of influence, so the disdain flows out of him like water. ]

But to answer your question: the universe is far too vast for peace to be maintained throughout. But planets under the IPC's control are usually stable and free of conflict.

[ The truth, of course, is uglier than Ratio has stated. But he senses the young man before him already understands this, and thus feels no need to elaborate. It did not seem like that was what he was seeking for in Ratio's words anyway. ]

Aeons are ascended, higher-dimensional beings that preside over the universe. You may liken Them to gods if that is more familiar to you, but They do not respond to human prayer. They care for little else but the Path They walk upon. Qlipoth is one such Aeon—the Aeon of Preservation.

That is correct. The Amber Era is the most prevalent calendar used across the cosmos, as it was created and promoted by the IPC.

My primary focus is much the same as anyone who has been summoned here by LILITH—to aid them against the kaiju crisis. However, it seems they have opted to ignore my talents and relegate me to the same work as everyone else. A foolish decision on their part.

[ He shakes his head with a sigh of exasperation. Truly, was the point of him being here if they just needed muscles, not brains? ]

I am a university professor, and primarily teach advanced classes in several disciplines: mathematics, physics, biology, medicine, engineering, computer science, philosophy and natural theology.

[personal profile] curingidiocy 2024-05-27 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. I am not incapable of combat, but it is certainly not a subject I specialize in.
curingidiocy: (pic#17171063)

[personal profile] curingidiocy 2024-06-02 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
My sentiment exactly. It is inefficient allocation of my talents, and quite frankly, I am disappointed with them.

Nevertheless, this is the task I have been assigned, and they have not been swayed by my arguments. At the very least, I will gain first-hand experience of the crisis plaguing this planet. That, too, is valuable information.
curingidiocy: (hmph)

[ He's a little annoyed to be treated like a liability, but he's well aware of his own capabilities. To a more skilled combatant, he would indeed be a concern. ]

You do not need to concern yourself with me. I am more than capable of keeping myself out of harm's way. I am not foolish enough to place myself in a position that will compromise your ability to fight.
curingidiocy: (pic#17171038)

[personal profile] curingidiocy 2024-06-10 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
If you are so concerned, perhaps you ought to host combat practice of some sort to familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the individuals on base. That will be valuable information for all of us.

[ He's not being sarcastic when he says this. It is a genuine suggestion, because he wants to know too. He is however, very unfamiliar with what is necessary for such practice. ]

[ Oh? Now this piques his interest. Half its size, and mention of an interior... ]

That is an interesting way to describe a weapon. Are you a pilot of some sort?
curingidiocy: (impressed)

[personal profile] curingidiocy 2024-06-16 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh? Oh oh??? There's a look of interest on Ratio's face now, and the hint of a smile as the topic turns to something more pleasant. ]

Curious. Why would LILITH go through the trouble of modifying your weapons if what they wanted was your combat prowess? Ah, but there's nothing to be gained speculating on such idiotic decisions, I'm sure if they haven't already enlightened you as to why, they do not intend to ever inform you.

Your mobile suit sounds similar to a weapon that I once designed in my leisure time, as a stimulating exercise for the mind after months of enduring dreary engineering projects. Tell me, is it capable of transforming into any other form?
