[ The D-Terminal clicks on to show a young woman with a scar across her cheek and hair that falls over her eyes staring intently into it. Her eyes are void of any emotion and for the few seconds of silence that follow the start of the transmission, she may give off the impression of a killer. ]

Good morning. The time is zero seven twenty hours. [ Formal, curt, but with a polite tone. Her expression never once waivers as she continues. ] Mikasa Ackerman, soldier. Rank is of little importance here, but experience is highly sought out from my understanding.

[ Which is why she introduces herself as a soldier instead of taking the easy life and settling in under a new alias. If people were instructed to fight here, then she wanted not only her skills to be known, but to not be treated as if she were a weak individual. Behind her appears a Terriermon who seems more interested in what she's doing than anything else. ]

I formally request a briefing on the situation of this world as well as any documentation related to having your Digimon grow stronger. [ A brief pause. ] As well as information as to why there are skeletons hanging on the walls.

Thank you.

[ With that, she cuts the call and leaves her room, Terriermon in tow. Hello roommates of F1 005, it seems your new companion has finally made herself visible enough to step free from her room to get to know you better. ]

Bodies...

That will only cost them. [ And herself, she refrains from adding. ] It makes little sense.

I was told when I first arrived there were people here from different backgrounds and that I may experience difficulty in emphasizing with them. I suppose this is one of those times--for that, I'm sorry.

[fullofthorns]

Nah nah, don't worry about it! [ She replied with a crooked smile. ] Its my life, its always been my life. I'm totally just blowin' it off for now, and I'll make due when its time.

Focus on the good, and all, right? I'm here now and even if I screw up back home, what I do here saves the world, yeah?

Life is full of unsung heroes. Guess that's us.

[allidoiswin]

Yes, I suppose that it is. [ Saving the world here seems too daunting for her.

After all, there's only so many people she can care for. ]

Are you really eager to help this world?

[fullofthorns]

[ She smiles, arching a brow and shrugging one shoulder. ]

Back home, I got nothin' to look forward to. That ain't the case with everyone. I've got no friends, no future, y'know? But here...I've met a lot of people. Good people that make my life worth havin' lived. Saving this world saves all the worlds, apparently. Which means all these good people, I can do somethin' for 'em like they've done for me.

Just because I might not take anything home with me, doesn't mean I shouldn't appreciate and protect what I've got here.

I couldn't give a shit about my home right now, but everyone else that could use my help can have it, way I see it.

[allidoiswin]

[ So that's the way it is for most of them here. That sort of selfless attitude... maybe she can instill it into Eren. Focus him on saving this world and the worlds that need them to over returning to the Titans that plague their own. ]

I doubt doing much for this world can help my own, but I have no reason to deny it.

[fullofthorns]

Its all perspective, babe. [ She drawled, shrugging one shoulder and waving the opposite hand dismissively. ]

Cuz think about it this way - if this place falls to pieces while its attached like a cancer to everywhere else, then everywhere else falls apart. Though its kind of a mean way to explain it, pretend this place is a parasite and every other world is a host. This place has latched on, and excising it means the other world dies. And if this world dies, it causes an infection that kills the other world, too. So I guess its all a matter of whether or not you believe everything is worth savin'.

[ Another shrug, this one less flippant, more withdrawn. She was uncomfortable with her own decisions, uncertain about the validity of them but still willing to advise others on the "right" course. ]

If there's even one think back home worth savin', then you just gotta bust your ass here and you can go back to it. If there's nothing worth saving, then think about everyone else and what they think is worth fighting for. Right?
