[There are a few clicking noises.]

Hm, modern technology is far too modern... [the video feed turns on, displaying a blonde Japanese girl who looks like she didn't mean to turn the video feed on, but she quickly replaces that with a wide, friendly smile.]

Hello there! Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Fuu Hououji. I have read through the official pamphlet, but... I still believe that there's been some kind of mixup.

I'm not intimately familiar with American law, but I had thought that the minimum age to join a military service was seventeen, and I would have assumed that drafting foreign nationals would be out of the question... to say nothing of taking them out of the past.

I'll be looking for a Japanese consulate, but I've never been involved in a diplomatic incident before. I don't suppose anyone has advice?

Sentient machines aren't easily bargained with.

[This he has personal experience with.]

[monster_san]

I suppose they would be--this is the first time I've been involved with one, but you seem more knowledgeable on the subject.

Of course, it must also have its benefits.

[chancetoatone]

I've met one. That may make me more knowledgeable.

It does. Most are granted abilities when they arrive.

[monster_san]

I see! Was your mechanical acquaintance also a recruiter?

Really? What kinds of abilities? [so far all she's noticed are the ones she, uh, already had.]

[chancetoatone]

A recruiter? No. Legion is...unique.

Whatever was listed in your file.

[monster_san]

That makes me quite curious, but I don't think I should pry.

Ah... so the 'power' is simply that my magic and sword work here, then. [and something about costume that she's not sure about.]

[chancetoatone]

You may ask whatever questions you like. I'll answer them to the best of my abilities.

[He gives a nod.] Yes. Mine were similar.

[monster_san]

What was the purpose of Sir--though maybe the singular is incorrect--Legion?

[chancetoatone]

Originally? From what Commander Shepard has said, Legion was originally built to find Commander Shepard.

[monster_san]

Just for one person? This Commander Shepard must be very important.

[chancetoatone]

Very much so, but this is a different story, isn't it?
