[In a small office -- decorated in blue and silver -- a young man stands impatiently behind a desk, finger tapping on his watch. His eyes tick up towards his "guest"... a young man who's been set gently in a plush chair.
The office that once bore all of Vivienne's things has been swept clean. It's almost too clean really. There's barely anything personal in it at all. His picture is the only one that hangs on the wall now-- though two hooks remain as though there are replacements just waiting to be placed.
It would appear his "guest" is just waking up now.]
[It typically doesn't take much to wake Orga, but today, right here, he's slow to rouse. It takes him a few more seconds to groggily register the unfamiliar surroundings before his eyes dart to Oswald the moment he speaks up. Meeting a stranger in a place he's never seen before is one way to jolt him awake, that's for sure.
Instantly alert, Orga scans the office a little more before he returns his wary gaze on Oswald. There's so much he could ask about this, but the first question that comes out of his mouth is--]
...The hell is this?
[That's probably zero points for both politeness and eloquence right there.]
Good evening. I apologize, I know this is very sudden. But there's little that can be done about that. There's much to explain.
However... you're here because I think I can be of assistance to you. And in return, I think you're someone who can help my organization in turn. A mutually beneficial partnership.
Mutually beneficial, huh. It's a familiar sentiment, even if McGillis hadn't worded it exactly that way. And it's not like there's a reason to trust this stranger either. Still, it's apparent that he's at a disadvantage here considering how little he knows about the current situation. The last thing he remembers is making battle preparations on-board the Isaribi, after all.]
...I'm listenin'. But I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me how I got here and what happened to all the guys I was with.
My boss brought you here because of two things-- first... you show great promise for the program that we're starting. And second... they think that likewise, there's something that we may be able to offer you in return.
What you'd ask of us-- is entirely up to you.
As for the people you were with, they are naturally unharmed, right where you left them.
[He isn't placated much by the reassurance, but it's better than nothing at the moment. Still.]
I don't remember signing up for any kind of program. But even if we ignore that, why should I believe that you'd be able to keep up your end of the deal?
[He was heading into a battle, after all, and he wouldn't expect just anyone to be able to outfit them with additional ships, equipment and personnel.]
We want you to work with us willingly. For that reason... I'm not opposed to offering a small reward. As a token of what I hope will be a very profitable relationship for the both of us.
I assure you... given the time-- which you'll have plenty of during our program-- they will be able to provide you with more than enough to take out your enemy.
[Honestly... the fact that Oswald isn't even blinking an eye at the idea of someone taking on Gjallarhorn's biggest fleet is making alarm bells go off in Orga's mind. That, and most large organizations wouldn't be so blasé about openly dealing with arms like this, even if they did have the resources.]
...What kind of weapons are these? And just what's so important to you that you'd be willing to unload 'em onto someone you don't even know?
Quite sharp you are. We're in a rather dire situation ourselves. Enough so that we're willing to share our technology with others in exchange for their help with our own problems.
We're training a set of Apprentices that we hope will become heroes to save our world from something that could, quite honestly, destroy all life on it.
Important as it is, it goes without saying-- We can fit the order to your needs, to say the least. Robots, warships, weapons of mass destruction-- enough to outfit your entire group, naturally.
I have several blueprints you can look through-- they can be built for anything, really. Disrupting your enemy's communications; scrambling signals... there are even small devices capable of disarming enemy ships.
If there's one perk to the situation we're in now, it's the amount of technology available to us. And... it can be abailable to you as well.
[He narrows his eyes. Saving the world? It's such a grandiose notion that he can't help but be a little skeptical of it. He's not sure what that would entail, but. At least the mention of blueprints is enough to catch his interest.]
[He calls and-- a robot brings in several blueprints for him. Three are of large ships; each already outfitted with their own weapons. It's unclear what uses bullets, beams, particles or whatever-have-you but it's well designed and carefully plotted.
Others have ornate designs of weapons. Some large; that would be poorly fit for humans, with their destructive output. It would seem that they're designed for robots. In fact, they probably wouldn't be a bad fit for a gundam.]
Naturally, we're here to give you the real thing but-- as a welcoming gift, I'd be more than happy to part with these now.
[They do have everything on them that would be technically necessary to help one create them. So it's not a bad start.]
As future allies, you and I, my primary goal is to help you guarantee your victory as well as your friend's safety. [Gosh why is there this ominous pause like he wants you to think about th-- okay moving on.] Likewise I'm hoping that you can do the same for me.
[...Okay admittedly he's not expecting a robot to come in so give him a second to stare at that. He looks it over a bit warily as it brings the blueprints over, but his attention shifts quickly enough when he sees the plans for the ships and weaponry. There were definitely others in Tekkadan that would be able to make more sense of the schematics than he can, but the implication is enough; they at least had the technological know-how to build these.
As he mulls over the plans and the logistics of it all, one phrase manages to catch his attention beyond the rest--
--help you guarantee your victory as well as your friends' safety.
--and he looks up sharply at Oswald with narrowed eyes. He trusts this man as much as he trusts McGillis -- no, maybe actually even less than that, but. They were up against the Arianrhod, and while they had McGillis' resources at their disposal, in the end, Tekkadan was an insect compared to a fleet that size. So if they wanted to win, if they wanted to survive, if they wanted to seize their future, then--
He silently takes one of the blueprints, folds it neatly and tucks it in a pocket. And when he looks up, his visible eye is filled with suspicion, but also with resolve.]
...Alright. What do you want me to do?
[--Then he would use whatever he could. For Tekkadan.]
[Well, first week, first report. Although things were fairly eventful, there wasn't much to add to some of what happened, so he'll keep it short. He'll be sending this through the encrypted tablet they provided him. The message reads:]
There were a bunch of people who tried to escape by climbing the wall on Monday. Han ended up having to do damage control, but one of the others ended up shoving most of them back over to this side, so no one was killed.
There was also a meeting on Thursday to catch everyone up on what happened the last time you guys had people here, but you'd probably know the details of that better than I do. There was some talk about how the motives worked and other things they found about the school, but the topics were scattered.
Ask if you want more details.
[There's also a small word document attached to the message, with some impersonal observations on certain people during the week. Since it's business, well... no need to report on anything too personal, right?]
[It doesn't take long before Orga recieves a response.]
Very well done. Thank you.
But on a more personal note-- as someone who has been a peer to these individuals, I'm curious to know what you think of them so far. Those you think show potential, those you're uncertain of and naturally those you feel may need more work.
Don't worry. It's for Han's sake. If there are those I can have him help, well. I'm sure he'd be happy to know.
[For Han's sake, huh... he doesn't really believe that much at all, but he'll comply anyways because orders are orders.]
From what I saw, most of them don't like the idea of participating in this course of yours at all.
Viral, Miss Rebecca and Terra stood out the most for taking some kind of initiative this week. For the record, Viral didn't regret climbing over the wall either, so he might end up causing more trouble later on. Edgar and Rantaro seem to be looking at investigating this place in their own ways. A few of the other guys who were in your entrance exam before also spoke out against this whole thing during the meeting too.
As for who I'm uncertain about, that's most of them. I haven't talked in length with some of them yet, and a lot of it's been irrelevant topics. [Mostly personal stuff he doesn't really want to get into.]
I don't know if you'd be able to get much out of them, but there are others who don't look like they care about being kidnapped either, like the clown and that Sheldon guy. Osomatsu seems too damn unstable for this whole thing. That guy with the hat, Mike, also looks like he goes into things half-cocked.
That's all I have right now unless you're asking about someone specific.
Some of them are thinking of continuing meetings in the showers or washrooms to avoid the cameras. There was also talk of making a code or using written messages too. Thought you should know.
And on another note: someone mentioned something about there being a hidden room that's locked even to the Admins. You know who leaked that?
Week 2 Report (Sunday at ass o'clock so it's probably Monday tbh)
[This week was a bad week for literally everyone so his update for Week 3 is sort of sparse and limited. There's an extra note to go with it this time, though.]
The meeting this week was mostly about sharing information. Most of what was mentioned were items that people got from talking to you, so I don't think I need to tell you all of that all over again.
Also, I got a question: if you guys are looking for heroes, then why the hell did you execute Viral for an accident? Especially if he ended up saving your own damn life in the process.

Week 4 Report (backdated to Sunday because i hate my internet)
Most of the meeting on Thursday was about sharing information, like last week. Connor clarified some things about him going missing, but if you have access to the cameras, you should know more about that than me. More importantly, there's a couple of other things.
First, Maya got some kind of message from the outside, from someone named Jake Peralta.
Second, someone found a photo album of Fayflower. It had pictures of you and some others like Vivienne. They also found a page with someone named Jules Hale, too.
[...]
Ask if you want any more details.
[Also, there's no update to everyone's profiles this week.]

no subject
As a matter of fact, I can. I know several people who would be able to make the kinds of things you need.

How much are we talkin' about here? We need enough to stand up to the whole damn Arianhrod fleet.
