I know a lot of people with special talents but it seems like it all ends right there. Almost all of them would be better suited to being here than myself. At least they could help out others or at least do something. I always thought that being able to fly in the sea of stars would help everyone. Everyone on Earth could work together to discover new planets and plan to send even more people out into space.

But how is that any help? I'm only a pilot. Not a survivor or fighter. Maybe...maybe with a ship or even the Astelion, I could fly out of here but what good am I without that?

I need to find something that I can do.

... Do you have a backbone?

[voice]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

Of course I do but there are some things that you just can't do.

[voice]

[mir-aculous.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you just haven't searched enough options.

[voice]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

Enough options? You have any ideas?

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

What do you fly?

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

I've been trained on a few things but I fly the Astelion. It's an armored module but a prototype of what will be a new class of...mecha.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Mecha? Like a gunship?

Being a pilot is something to be proud of; I had to practice for a very, very long time to get to be any good at it, and I still have a long way to go.

I know but there's not much a pilot can do here without a machine.

VOICE

[shien-reverse.livejournal.com]

Hardly. You have all the skills of a pilot, right? Fast reactions, a good sense of the space around you, good timing?

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

You're not gonna get anywhere with an attitude like that. If you want to help people, then help people. It doesn't matter how you go about it, but anything's better than moping around.

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

Not everything is better. Failing at something only causes more problems.

[quarkleader.livejournal.com]

Have you even tried? There must be something you can do.

[ voice ]

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

There's surely something for you to do, Ibis.

[ voice ]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

If there is, I can't think of it.

[ voice ]

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

You're giving up too easily.

[ VOICE ]

[jormunvector.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with admitting your limitations.

[ VOICE ]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

Even knowing them doesn't help me.

[ VOICE ]

[jormunvector.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with having to rely on others to survive, right?

(She sounds about as pathetic as Crona.)

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

More spacefarers? My my.

You must have some sort of practical knowledge.

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

If I do, I can't think of any way to use it.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Well what have you piloted for?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

You're a soldier, that's seen combat, and survived.

Give yourself a bit more credit.

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

Even if I've seen combat, I'm not a soldier. I don't have a rank or anything like that like everyone else.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

So you have potential.

How old are you?
