So, I get to be part of some sort of team. I guess it makes sense if we're gonna be doing stuff.

Team Papa seems kind of a weird name, but I suppose it's easy to remember.

Whose on the team? If we're gonna be working together in the future, I'd like to meet them.

I don't know, I think all the team names are kind of weird. But it's not too bad, I guess.

I'm Vega, I'm on Team Papa too! I'm a Zoid pilot. I think nobody knows what those are here, though, which is really lame.

I should look at the other names.

Nice to meet you Vega. I'm Selene Jones. And no, I don't know what a Zoid is. What is it?

I know there's one called Lima. Like lima beans. Go look!

Well, they're these really big robotic animals we have where I come from. We use them to fight in battles and tournaments and things, they're really awesome!

Lima? It does make the team seem...weak with name like that. Knowing the logic of scenarios like this, it probably means they're the scariest people on board.

Really? That does sound kind of cool. Like battle bots and the discovery channel.

Ha, maybe. That would be pretty funny.

Battle bots?

I'm almost betting on it. I hear there's a lot of irony in these situations usually.

Yeah. It's a show where robots fight each other.

I'll have to check!

But yeah, robot fights? That's pretty much what I do. I'm a pilot, and I'm really good at it. They call me the King!

I will too.

By giant robot animals, do you mean big enough you're actually inside them?

Oh, yeah, Zoids are pretty big. Like... most of 'em are between seven and twelve meters tall.

.....that's really big. I don't think we can even get robots that big. Well, no one 'normal.'

Well, you can find them running wild in some places still. They've been around longer than people!

What kinds of people would have giant robots, huh?

....wait, what? You're saying they're running around like normal animals?

Superhero supergenius people, usually. Sometimes they're villains.

Yeah, especially out in the deserts and stuff. They're not really common anymore, but you do see wild Zoids sometimes.

Oh, so they'd build things like that huh? Well, I guess that makes sense if you don't have companies manufacturing them like Zoids.

But...how can a robot be wild?

Sometimes. I'm sure it's in their capabilities, anyway. Had giant robots attack the city from supervillains.

The name could be worse, I guess.

I'm Marcus.

It seems as though I am.

Well, names can always be worse.

I'm Selene. Nice to meet you, Marcus.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Selene.

The pleasure is all yours, I'm sure.

Projectra. Princess Projectra.

....or maybe not.

Oh please. You're in the presence of royalty. Let's not pretend that we're not the slightest bit in awe.

Not really, no. I'm kind of friends with a demi-goddess and have too many people who are too many strange or powerful things enter my place of work to be easily awed at this point.

Oh.

I see...

Well, if someone seemed lofty and arrogant in response to a polite greeting, would you be awed or annoyed? Like, if you met a queen or something and she pretty much responded to you how you responded to me?

No queen would dare be rude to me. I'm a princess from Orando, and we are quite easily the most powerful planet - financially - in the universe. I could cut her off before she'd even finished her sentence.

Having said that, I suppose this is where I must take your feelings into consideration and apologize for being...snobbish.
