[accidental voice post]

[not_that_lockon]

[Lyle seems to excel at making accidental posts the more traditional way - ie through pressing the wrong button rather than being stalked by the community - and this would be no exception. This time he's flicked a wrong switch, and so you get the tail-end of some very adrenalin-fueled breathing before there's an incredulous, disbelieving laugh.]

... I did it. [And another small chuckle, more proud this time.] I hope you were watching down there, because like hell am I giving an encore of that.

[And then there's another voice, more crackling as if it's coming through from another speaker, with a slight German accent:] "Yeah, I was watching. Now get down here so we can celebrate properly and I can tell you that I told you so."

Yeah, yeah -- [and then Lyle flicks another switch, or the community decides to interfere, and the voice feed ends.]

That's why I said "as honest as I can". I can't tell you all of it, but I can let slip some.

... Okay. I'm listening.

Okay, how can I put this... basically, I'm part of what I guess you'd call a revolutionary group, only it's not nearly as impressive as that makes it sound. It's more like we're opposed to the way things on our world are heading now is all. I kind of started out being involved just as a favour to a friend of mine, really, but now I've somehow ended up in a lot deeper than I meant to since he's managed to get me into a mobile suit.

... I think I get it. [Because she sort of led a one-man revolution against the Organisation.]

—But what's a mobile suit?

Kind of like a big robot, only instead of moving by itself, people pilot it.

That sounds amazing!

Really? ... Heh, I guess it kind of is, isn't it? I'm just so used to the idea by now that it's lost its novelty for me.

Do you think I could see one?

I wouldn't be able to bring you here to see one up close because of security concerns and all, but I could dig up some old photographs and news footage. They're pretty commonplace as far as the military goes, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something.

Okay! Thanks, Lyle.
