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.

Comments

[yondu]

[He does understand. Enough that it leads him to speak his previous thought aloud.]

I've met some good people with good ideas. I even loved plenty of 'em. But I think that maybe sometimes someone with a gentle heart needs a harder one to do what they cain't. Not that I think you're hard-hearted but... seems like you got more of a leathery coatin' on yours than one would expect.

[Quatre seems like over all a good kid, though, leaning more towards that good nature.]

Just gotta make sure no one wants to build new ones, I guess. [Wanting to makes the difference. But then attempts to lighten it up.] ...Well, unless you're fightin' some space monster instead of each other. I'd love to kick a few things I fought in my regular clothes with a big-ass robot.

[gundamofthedesert]

[He smiled] I understand. My father was an idealist. In a perfect world, they would have worked. But the world is hardly perfect. I was more of realist in that way.

I'm sure someone is going to try at some point, but it will be harder since most of facilities that were used for them have either been taken down or are under heavy watch. But... hopefully, we can keep that up. [He chuckled though at the comment] I'm sure that would be more fun. And much easier.

[yondu]

Yeah, generally fightin' somethin' that's just raw hunger and attitude is a lot more fun. Hopefully we get the chance.

[Hey, them no consequence enemies feel pretty good sometimes.]

So I saw some walker type things what exist on Hera's world. Think maybe if I get that modification equipment it could be expanded to include that?

[gundamofthedesert]

[He chuckled at that] Hopefully. And hopefully we get a mobile suit to do it. Would be much easier.

It's worth a shot. I'm willing to have other options added onto it. I'm already going to work on putting the Gundams in so others can try them out.

[And because he wants to pilot Sandrock again even if it is only a simulator]

[yondu]

Honestly I want the chance to try one out, too. [He's used to killing pilots in big robots, not being inside one. But he's not going to say that to this good boy. He doesn't need that.]

And it's good of ya to add somethin' that'll help out other crew.

[Because Yondu thinks any and all training can help them. This definitely has potential for it.]

[gundamofthedesert]

When they aren't being used for fighting, they are pretty amazing. [No, he doesn't. To be fair, he was also the Gundam pilot who tried to let enemies surrender to him so he didn't have to kill them. They rarely took it, but he had tried.

He nodded] A lot of people have been curious, I guess because they don't have them, but they are also good to know how to use if this place should give us something like them.

[yondu]

Even if it's sharin' a bit of world it's helpin', whether we get to use it or not. When I first got the flight sim, partially I got it 'cause Della was homesick.

She was a good lady.

[He's sad she went. She did a lotta good for a lotta people, and they definitely felt her absence.]

[gundamofthedesert]

[He smiled faintly when Yondu said that]

Yeah, she was. I spoke to her a few times. I enjoy talking with her.

[yondu]

It was nice havin' her. She understood what it was like to miss your kids.

[Literal about empty nest, he supposes. Also she understood what it was like messin' up as a parent and wanting to make it right.]

[gundamofthedesert]

[Quatre nodded. He didn’t understand that part specifically, but he understood the idea of finding someone on the train who had at least enough of a similar background]

It’s good that you two were able to talk about that together.
