Twinwolf

B3, visit the village, D3.

Hikari blinked. All their abilities were now... waves of bullets. Because that's how that worked here. "Does this... danmaku thing include my healing abilities? Do I have to aim that at allies or something?"

E3

"...Well, it's kinda our jobs, isn't it?" Hikari said. "Any idea where we can start?"

P17, ready an eldritch blast for any hostiles going out of that darkness.

Hikari was kinda just... generally surprised by all of the sudden movements and people shouting and took a few moments to compose herself because she'd been taking a nap when she'd gotten gap'd. Seemingly unlike half of the party, she was unchanged. She was just managing to compose herself when their host made her intentions... well, clear was the wrong word. "What kind of occurrences?" Hikari asked. She already suspected what it would be, though - it was always trespassers if they were present. Ivory was quiet, simply hanging around inside of Hikari and looking around the space, trying to comprehend it.

"I fell out of the sky on the ship. Maybe it is normal in other places." 6D noted. "Are you both alright?"

"If you want a ride that bad, Ministrel, Mydwyn's still got some room for you." Cecily joked. She wasn't actually riding the wyvern, instead walking beside them in order to keep them fresh for combat. But her sister wasn't that heavy due to her lack of armor, so she might as well be a feather for how much Myrdwyn would be bothered by the weight. "We're almost there, right? I could go for a bit, but some of the others seem to need a bit more exercise in their routines!" she continued in the same tone.

Taking Anima affinity.

Did anyone say "last minute submission" No? Too bad "Get behind me! I'll protect you!"

6D had been fairly quiet, listening to the mission and not really giving her thoughts. After the discussion and after Perlita took one, she did. "If nobody minds, I will be taking something. Just in case." Take a Healing Circle

6D leaned in, observing it. "That's very interesting. I can't say that YorHa has been able to produce any... energy? Able to act like that. It must be a very useful ability." she says with clear curiosity.

6D bowed to the human that had just appeared - "Yes! I look forward to working with you!" she said cheerfully, before straightening and turning back to Mar. "That's interesting! I've studied old human cooking books, and it seems very different than what you're doing. How are you doing this stuff by hand?"

6D turned to the voice, and inclined her head in greeting. "Hello! I'm new here. Just taking a look aroun-" she paused, watching what the man was doing. "...I didn't know that cooking worked like that." she commented. "What are you doing?"

Eventually, another individual wanders into the engineering bay. 6D was making a stop here in her quest to map out the castle. The android looks around the bay, somewhat impressed with the machinery of the castle - it wasn't exactly the shiny, well maintained machinery she was used to, but it was also quite a lot bigger than any of it. The engine was probably in itself bigger than the entire engineering bay of the Bunker.

6D did bow now, although not as sharply as she had with Hiroki. "Good to meet you!" she repeated. "I am YorHa Defense-class Unit 6. You can call me 6D, for short! Your AI is right, I'm an android. So you don't have to worry about food for me." ... After a few moments of quiet, 6D's support pod abruptly speaks up. "Recommendation: Unit should explore the castle in order to develop a map." 6D considered that for a few moments, then nodded, bowing to the group. "Excuse me. I need to familiarize myself with the area, if we will be staying here for a while." After waiting a few moments to see if there is response, she straightens and turns on her heel, heading in a random direction.

6D, who had followed Hiroki and the others like a lovesick puppy because she had no idea where she was even supposed to be, stood behind the others quietly. It was another human, oh gosh... she wanted to bow again, but she was still self-repairing the earlier damage, so she settled for a quiet, somewhat awkward wave. Oh, great, one hundred percent normal human greeting and not just making a fool of yourself. "H-Hello. I'm new as well. It is good to meet you. Yes." Nailed it.

6D "...I'll go to, I guess? I think it will be good to take a look around, in any case." 6D said simply. She didn't actually need to eat. She wasn't sure she could actually? Something to check.

6D "If there are, then I hope they don't cause... issues, like has been going on." She then turned to the new arrival. "Hello. As explained, we are apparently here to fight trespassers. Except apparently, when dealing with multiversal trespassers, it indicates a desire to wipe out all of existence. I don't think a club large enough to deal with them exists. That is about all that I know as of right now."

"They shoot very fast moving bits of metal at people." she said, a bit more discreetly. "It's generally quite painful to get hit by one, so avoid that. As for why they don't want us to go past... I think they're just nuts, honestly. Some people are strange like that."

6D The Pod had reported anomalies, but not in time to change anything. So, that all happened. 6D was left staring confused. Annnd then the bird opened her mouth. "...I don't believe there are any alien machine lifeforms about, if you're worried. The Pod couldn't detect any. Unless you meant me, in which case I would be offended by the insinuation I am an alien." she said to the newcomer. She turned to Hiroki. "Hiroki, if you don't mind me asking, does this happen a lot?"

6D "For the most part, I'm more of a support - I don't so much kill the machines myself but keep the more attack-oriented units from being targetted. If you mean personally, something about..." she paused, and then nodded to the Pod, which displayed a hologram of a strange looking machine that was tall enough that 6D only made it to it's knee. "This is the biggest thing I've taken in personal combat, a Goliath-class machine. The building-sized ones, Engels, require Flight Units and several androids working together to defeat, but they're really rare. We would be roughly the size of a toe, if it was humanoid."

6D 6D shook her head. "I'm sure they would if they could, but it's really hard to get stuff from the moon to Earth, or the reverse. So, they can't do anything like that." she paused. "Yeah, we can have fun. Most of the time for the ground units it's just talking with others we like, though. I've heard the Operators have started to get really into things like collecting pictures of flowers, or fortune-telling, though I haven't been to the Bunker in a bit to talk about it."

6D "Because we still receive yearly messages from them, thanking us for our hard work." 6D said automatically. Granted, they were usually pretty similar, but not much had really changed over the centuries so it made sense that not much changed in those messages.

6D "Kinda yes and kinda no?" 6D said. "Like I told Rory, they were around, but then the aliens attacked and the survivors went to the moon. Then they built us and we've been fighting the alien machines ever since. I think the Commander is the only one that's been around long enough to have seen humans in person."
