Seems like it.

Pretty sure we didn't have any pilots over sixteen.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What!?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Nothing but 15 year olds on the frontline? While the adults do what exactly?

Make you jump through hoops in a false pretense of assistance?

[crossmyheartandhope]

R&D. Logistics. Suit design and maintenance like my ma did.

...pretty sure the military was doing something, too, but taking on those things without a suit was real rough.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And their contingency plan if you all died?

[crossmyheartandhope]

RIP everything, I guess.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you've never known a life where everything didn't depend on your success...

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Shrugs, a little awkward]

I mean... stuff was normal when I was real little?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

How old were you when the world went to hell?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...ten? Eleven?

Somewhere around there, anyway.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Flatly:]

I see.

...

Do you think your objective would accept already purchased memories? Or only new ones?

[Assuming that was a new one]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...it'd probly take old ones, too.

Why? There something you wanna see?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Show me something good.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hesitates, thinking - then reaches out and taps at his phone, bring up this one.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[This scene is 10,000% unrelatable, but Intensity tries his best]

Fellow pilots?

[Also, did they have all their limbs? Or did Sasha and Mayu also have metal ones?]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Sasha and Mayu were both in one piece]

Yeah. They were on our team.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I notice only you and Nemesis have the metal limbs.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess Mayu and Sasha kept out of trouble enough to keep in one piece.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So I'm guessing that happened after you became a mech pilot.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...naw. Pretty sure it, uh. It was when stuff fell apart.

I got a memory back when I was like ten, just after I lost the leg. I was still on pain meds, so it musta been pretty recent.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sounds like it might have been hard to avoid by simply staying out of trouble. Apocalypses aren't particularly picky about their victims.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... guess so.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What were you other objectives again?

Any of them involve getting stomped at an arcade game?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I don't need an objective to go for that.
