REPORT 019 :: MIA // VOICE

[daisy023]

[SPARTAN-023 is concerned about these leaves. She makes a few filter tests to check on friends of hers, an easy way to make a roll call: Adell, the rest of the Rogues, Valvalis, Kirimi, Nel, Lina, Jordan, Litchi--

Lina's filter breaks.

...

Daisy hesitates for a few seconds. After a minute, she grabs her journal.]

[VOICE]

Lina Inverse has gone home.

[Spoken unemotionally. Bad news she has been too used to deliver.

It doesn't hurt the Spartan as much. She is back where she should be. Even if she would probably forget about her. About this place.

It still feels as if she has lost a person under her care.]

[generalflirt]

Eh? How do you know?

[daisy023]

I used the journals' filters this morning to check on friends of mine. Lina and Marica's broke.

[generalflirt]

Ah. Well... that's a shame.

[daisy023]

... She's happier this way.

[Even Daisy had to admit that Lina hated the enclosure.]

You knew her, sir?

[generalflirt]

Uh, yeah? Don't you remember, Chief? On the date?

[daisy023]

[Daisy remembers. Lina played with the idea of dating either of them.]

Sorry, sir. I've just had a lot in my mind these days. [And my mun is really stupid.] Guess the chance of having that date is off...

[generalflirt]

Yeah, seems like. ...Ah, it's a shame really. [Nnngh]

[daisy023]

Yeah.

[Even Daisy would've wanted to do that.]

... I'm sorry, Kida.

[Her sympathies for losing Lina.]

[generalflirt]

Mm? No, no, Daisy-chan, that's her loss! But right now, she just "won," so a loss like that isn't too bad, right?

[With a sheepishly laugh at the end of it]

Buuuut~ it's a shame I didn't get to talk to her more about that series. Hmm, hm. I guess I'll keep it up.

[daisy023]

Good point.

[She doesn't share the laugh, but the tone is lighter.]

... What series, sir?

[generalflirt]

Mm, this one manga. It might be better as Lina-chan and I's private secret.

[daisy023]

I understand, Masaomi.

[And she does. It's a silly secret, but Spartans have their share.]

[generalflirt]

Mm. Alright then. Thanks for the word, Captain.

[He doesn't know to wonder about if Lina left anything. So he just... figures he'll leave it at that]

[daisy023]

--Chief. Or Daisy.

[Not an angry correction, just a mindless one. It feels wrong to be given a superior rank.

With the recent announcement of Amelia, might as well tell Kida.]

[Filtered]

Amelia has a few things Lina left over for friends of hers. You could talk to her about that, sir.

[Filtered]

[generalflirt]

Amelia...?

[This is not ringing a bell...]

[Filtered]

[daisy023]

A few comms down. She's a friend from her world. I don't know if you'd want to contact her, sir.

[Filtered]

[generalflirt]

Ah. Thanks, thanks... I'll consider that for later, Chief.
