Hey guys, 9S here.

Recent events got me thinking we should have some provisions in place, in case of future attempts to abduct or imprison anybody. Units like 2B, A2, and me have black box signals we could detect, but as for you guys... I've come up with some tracking modules that you can activate in case you get in a tough spot. They just look like little round pins with stars on them, figure nobody'll give them a second look.

They're easy to activate and deactivate. All you do is press on the raised star shape for five seconds. Simple, right? They'll derive energy from your body heat, and don't need direct contact, so I think it'll work. I'd like to enable at least a few people to detect those signals, but you'll need equipment like my goggles or Dirk's uh, shades. So let me know if you're interested.

Also while we've got access to materials, if anybody has equipment or repair needs, just give me the details.

Private: Dirk
Hey, can I ask your help with something? It's...not really a small favor, but I think you're the most capable.

Private: Julius
There's something I'd like to ask you about, when you've got the time.

Private: 2B + A2
After recent events, I think we should make plans in case we sustain heavy or lethal damage. Can we talk about that?

It'd be awfully small for that, although I guess you could.

[A beat]

Do you need equipment? Because I could just, you know, make a weapon.

[sharpestsword]

A bullet is small too.

But I have gotten better at manipulating much larger objects. You would make something for me?

[deem]

Well, I suppose, but you need a firearm to make it lethal.

Anyhow, I'd be happy to help out, so what do you prefer using?

[sharpestsword]

I pilot a mobile suit. We're probably going to have to come up with something else.

[deem]

[She's assuredly right, but...]

What kind of craft is a "mobile suit"?

[sharpestsword]

It's a giant robot. I mostly operate in space.

[deem]

[Giant robot... like an Engels unit?]

Sounds almost like a flight unit, except for the giant part.

[sharpestsword]

So you're familiar. The weapon I used was a sort of segmented sword. It might be possible to replicate that.

[deem]

We didn't get to use them often, they're even more expensive to make than a unit like me is, but I've manned one a few times.

If you can send me an image of what it looks like, or how you remember using that weapon, it shouldn't be hard for me to make something like it.
