I agree. LILITH makes a lot of the decisions on what we'll work on. So far, it's been tracking down places and investigating stuff, but nothing about the rifts. I think they don't trust us in the labs.

[coordination]

They should.

...

Or rather, if they're bringing in so many people, they should focus on those who could actually help in the labs.

[likemybooks]

I could work in a lab! I know how to work with chemicals, I can build robots. And I can fight, sure, but I want to help in other ways.

[coordination]

As should be your choice here. Even if someone can fight, they shouldn't have to if they don't wish to.

Even that bit of apprehension about it could end up in a tragedy. If not for the person in question, then for someone who's going to have to pick up that bit of slack for them out there. And I know I neither want to die for a stupid reason like that or see someone else die because of it!

Why don't you get on their asses about it? Tell them hey! I have the experience here and you want to get this done, right?

[likemybooks]

I offered, but they're adamant on experimenting on the kaiju first. We're here to collect materials, fight monsters, and be field agents. I mean, it's all pretty cool, but I miss spending all day in workshops.

[And he doesn't know if he can be intimidating enough to brute force his way into a position.]

I don't know. [He folds his arms and slumps against the Gundam.] We can't even reach the people in charge.

[coordination]

Maybe we've just got drive the point in that we'd like to discuss these things because it's pretty fucking important! So they should get their heads out of their asses and come speak to us.

Just because they're in charge doesn't mean they're better than us or that they should be cooped away somewhere secret and safe while our asses are on the line!

[likemybooks]

Look - [One arm is folded around his chest while Taryon points at Yzak.] I'm all for running in and demanding they let us help, but we have to make sure we have some leverage. I don't know all of the science of this world, but I have my magic. We have to prove that they can't do enough without us, or that locking us up will only hurt their efforts. As it stands, we could end up being sent back home without warning.

[coordination]

Being sent home won't have any complaints from me - I've got tons to do back there that I would much rather be focusing on anyway!

They're probably pretty aware that they're only so powerful without our help. Hell, that's why they started "recruiting" us in the first place! So that'd definitely some leverage to start with.

[likemybooks]

I guess. But I'm not from a world with all this technology. Did they really pick me because the best I can do is support others in battle?

[Or moral support. Maybe they care about emotional well-being in the far future.]

I just wish I could do more.

[coordination]

Supporting others is plenty. If everyone had the same parts, you couldn't make a properly functional machine, right? It's the same concept, only we obviously shouldn't look at ourselves like a machine.

[ He stares at Tary for a long moment. ]

The fact that you wish to do more is enough, at least. Until we're given the proper opportunity to do as much.

[likemybooks]

[A shrug from Taryon. Yzak could be just trying to be nice, but there's no need to call that out. Taryon has enough experience to know that he can't catch up to the heaviest hitters, not if he doesn't train for years.]

I'll see what our future adventures take us. Hopefully, we'll have more chances to help out.
