The battle has been won, and many has began to clean up and recover. Meanwhile...
~Shining Gundam~
"Finally, the communications console!"
"And the robot didn't blow up...yay..."
SMACK!
"...uuugh..."
Let it be said that Barnette just got the 'talking to other people over the comm-line' knowledge upgrade.
~Nirvana~
beep!
A noise was heard in the din of the bridge, and several eyes turned to the bridge bunny, Ezra Vieil, who suddenly looked sheepish at the sudden attention.
"Um, Boss. Incoming signal. I think it's from the unknown unit." She murmured, a hint of an embarrassed stammer in her voice.
Dita's face, shown through the screen from her Vandread, said happily, "Oh, wow! A new alien is making first contact! This is a historic moment!" She threw her arms up joyfully to emphasize her point.
"Oh?" Magnum Vivan, AKA Boss, queried with an amused tone, "Some overly eager extra-terrestrial wanderer who wishes to join our little band?" She then added, "To gain a new friend, after losing another so soon..." Her voice became a murmur, which was easily heard over the inquisitive chatter that began, and the whispers died down slowly, as they hung their heads in mourning.
Magnum noted this, but said, "Put them through."
"...Roger..." Ezra made some motions in her console.
-beep! beep!-
...
"HHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO NIRVANA!" A voice cried out cheerily, and a grinning face was shown on the screen.
People were startled. Bad.
Because the face that was displayed on the screen was not a new friend.
No.
The face was that of the one they thought they had lost. But...She was there. No illusion, no manipulation. Same green hair, same violet eyes. Same smile when she reassured people.
Jura summed the situation quite nicely, tears once again threatening to burst from her eyes. "B-B...Barnette."
And Barnette Orangello smiled softly, looking at Jura from her screen, "I'm sorry if I made you sad, Jura." Then she grinned again, "But I'm here, and all the better!"
Somewhere, behind Barnette, someone muttered, "Sheesh, biploar much?"
-Crack!-
"Ugh..." The same voice muttered in agony. "M-my ribs."
To everyone watching, that easily broke the moment, and they big-sweated (If such is a term). Barnette for her part, just continued to smile.
