Video
[The video opens with very excited Quatre, quite clearly trying to keep from bouncing excitedly]

Fellow passengers of the train, good morning! I made a request for an item and I wasn't actually sure if I'd get it or what it would be if I did, but...

[And he shows off what arrived for him... which just basically looks like a large box]

It is mobile suit cockpit simulator! So it's like piloting a mobile suit without actually piloting one!

[He very briefly showed off the inside of it, which looked like a cockpit]

Once I get it to the games carriage, I'm going to take a look at the options already programmed and add as many as I remember. It'll be available for anyone to try out. Also if you have one that would be piloted like that, I can try to add yours.

Action
Quatre can either be found in the luggage carriage, trying to figure out to move this very large object... or he can be found in the games carriage once it has been moved, checking what has already been programmed into the system.

[ Ohhh. So Gundams and mobile suits. ...These are chunky boys, aren't they. Tidus leans in gainst the side of where Quatre's sitting to view the images, the first he's gotten to actually see anything of where Quatre's from. ]

So these were on planet suits? And the Gundams - they're made from that gundam metal, and they're meant for out of space. Is that the difference?

[ He thinks he's getting it now. ]

[Yep, very chunky. They are not exactly easily mistaken for a very tall human. They all looked decidedly inhuman even though some were closer]

Taurus was the first mass-produced one that wasn't. Most of them were not intended to be used in space. I'm sure there were some that were meant to do repairs, but initially the fighting was always in a place with an atmosphere. The Gundams also initially were not meant for space, but they too were rebuilt in order to accommodate. Wing Zero, Vayaete, and Mercurius were the first Gundanium based suits to be designed for space.

Okay, I get it... [ He thinks he does anyway, wonders if this is some of what the machina back in their better days looked like. Though, he's never heard anything about space travel on his adventures.

He looks at the controls lower down from the screen, and then back up. ]

Soo, how about showing me one? What about that one you said flies in space? [ In the air or water is cool, but, space. ] Or let me jump in and figure it myself! How hard can it be? I can't crash anywhere!

[ Aww yeah, Quatre, let him have that first dibs!!! You can be the guiding gundam pilot over his shoulder. ]

[The war of his world was not for the faint of heart so he wouldn't go too deep into it so when Tidus said he gets it, he'll take his word for it]

Sure thing. Let me queue it up and then it's all yours.

[It didn't take much to set it up so the Taurus's programming would come up. Once he did, he slid out of the seat so Tidus could get in]

I'll walk you through some of the control, but yeah probably not as much stuff to hit with the Taurus.

[Unless the colonies were programmed in there. In which case there were some very big things to hit... eventually]
