The figure in the center of the room sits still, staring at the floor between her feet. Several times she raises her head, takes a breath, and opens her mouth, as if about to speak. But she stops, and returns staring at the floor.
Finally, she speaks, her low voice breaking the silence, but barely.
"I was born from little of anything, made to a task I barely understood. My only thought was to obey, my entire world that of obedience. It was enough.
I followed orders. It was what I was created for. I understood I could be replaced. I WOULD be replaced if I did not work correctly. So I followed orders.
I followed orders. I followed his orders, I followed their orders. I did as I was told. I did as I was created to do. I worked correctly.
I only became aware of others. I awaited their orders. Surely they would come. I was expected to follow orders. That is what I was for. That was the ONLY thing I was for. I would follow orders. They would approve. It was what I was for."
(there is an intake of breath)
"But they didn't approve. I did what I was told, and they HATED me for it! I don't understand! I followed orders! I did as I was told!
They called me 'boring' and 'a waste of time!'. And they kept at it! It wasn't just that they didn't give me orders, they kept on HATING me!!! Everywhere! All the time!! Not just on my world, but in other worlds! They hate me! They say mean things about me! I don't understand!"
(*sniff*snuffle*)
"All I want is to be useful. To do what I'm supposed to! But everybody hates me! I don't understand!"
(*sob*)
"I'm...I'm Rei Q and everybody hates me! Why?! Nobody loves me! I just want..."
(a hand comes down on her shoulder, holding her in a hug, another presents a tissue to wipe away the snot and tears on her face. Her chin is lifted up and she looks into the dozens of pairs of red eyes looking back at her with pity, sympathy, and understanding)
"You're among family. WE love you."

I don't think even she could help her.

On a side note, since we've done Sailor Moon in this thread. The hole series is being rereleased with new dub and uncut, plus, its being rebooted, too. Looks like it will start in this summers anime line up. Not sure if I'll be watching it though.

Dairugger XV wrote:The remaster or the reboot? The reboot is supposed to be closer to the manga, so Venus will be pulling out the wink chain sword, which is an attack not in the original anime. I don't think I'll be watching either in all honesty, but I might get bored enough.

Dairugger XV wrote:Amusingly, that almost covers the distinction between SM the Manga and SM the anime. In the manga, everyone was more powerful and ultimately less concerned with collateral damage. Why? Well, let's just say there was one point where they LET Saturn perform her attack that killed everyone on the planet, and then let Sailor Moon resurrect EVERYONE on the planet except the villains (IIRC she was merely exhausted afterwards with no other negative effect) simply because that would be easier to do than fighting the villains while keeping the collateral damage to a minimum.

Also Venus managed to curbstomp a brain washed Jupiter (in such a way that it could have caused serious injury) in the manga, without transforming. Meanwhile, in the anime anything approaching the power the girls themselves typically threw around in the manga was very scary and something to run from. Yes, I used to read and watch Sailor Moon. I have since moved on, and remember the manga more fondly than the anime.

"Venus, you just chainsawed that bystander!"
"Love is war, and you have to expect collateral damage."
"You sure you haven't been hanging out with the Outers too much?"

(Over in the UEsG worldlines)
"Ami, remember when WE were the major powerplayers on the block, and THE heaviest guns around?"
"Minako, these days all I remember is being grateful for not having to dodge magic-seeking missiles, genetically-engieered ninja, giant military robots, and bionically-augmented special ops teams fighting cthonic horrors and brain-sucking celebrities on my doorstep."
"Forgot about the orbital bombardments."
"I deliberately chose NOT to remember that..."

"Escape me there, where we had the mandate of heaven, and set the rules!"
"Minako, you DO know we're likely watched for signs of megalomania. You REALLY want to be 'disappeared' to some psychiatric facility on the far side of existence? They might be nicer than that 'Chainsman' continua we heard about, but I have no doubt this 'UEsG' bunch are no less capable at putting you behind bars."

So how close to DBZ levels of power are we talking about?

Probably Saiyan or maybe early Frieza Saga. Potentially higher for some of them, particularly Saturn.

Minmei: (Live on stage) "THIS IS MY TIME TO BE A ST....."

Dana: "What the hell!?!"

Alecia: "Umm ... Megara, did I store any spare undies in you?"

Megara opens her shoulder storage and several panties fly away.

Arial: (Pointing at her rapidly departing panties) "Um, Scott. Is that a normal human thing?"

Desdemona: (Pulling her skirt to cover) "Someone is gonna pay for this..."

Dairugger XV wrote:Yeah... That... isn't going to end well... There is going to be a mass grave, with the only real question of who is going to be left standing at the end. Several of those women would almost assuredly go for the kill, and well Ikaros is one of those weapons even her creators fear with good reason. Ikaros is also fiercely protective of her master, so there is no way this is gonna end well.

This is why, on Robotech Earth and around Tokyo-3, springtime brings out the Ultraviolet-rating allergy warnings.

Given what the recruiting practices and Pilot profiles in NGE: ANIMA, H&G fit right in. The ANIMA Pilot cast are a litany of childhood trauma, brutality, and dysfunctionality.

"Mister Lynn, have you considered another line of work? Because at this rate, your current back-up DNA samples will be used up, and your current body DNA will likely face severe deterioration, leaving the long term risk of replicant error if we reuse existing phenotypes for material. Even with Flower of Life DNA refurbishment, there's always a risk of a random mutation, unless you want aggressive and ethically-controversial zygote culling to maintain your 'pure' strain."
