[ It's an ungodly hour of the night as these things go, with both Misato and Gildor's minds flickering to announce their presence to all. Forceful and unapologetic, for her part, while urgent and unsettling, for his part. They insist on your attention. ]

( Everyone. We found something out there beyond the barrier. It was too dark for us to see much-- )

(Or anything, for some of us, but-- )

[wille]

[ Tomorrow. Tomorrow, she will regret her words. Today she is nothing but impassioned, believing herself invincible. ]

[shri]

[wille]

( I'll make it true. )
