"I see... Earth was... less fortunate. The planet had become dystopic. Vile and corrupt. I remember hearing stories about lush forests and bountiful farmlands, azure skies, emerald plains... clean oceans... That's not the Earth I lived in, but rather the one I strived for before... well... Forests were a rarity. Deserts were plentiful. Oceans were black and green and oily... The skies were almost permanently grey. Smog rose up from the cities and polluted our air. Heaven was safe from most of it, we lived in high atmosphere... But..."
Phenom adjusted himself a little against the wall. He set the lamp in front of him and just stared at it. "This is the first time in my life I've ever used a lamp... It gives me a cozy feeling.."

Terra's eyes widened. She couldn't hide her surprise at all. "You've never used a lamp before right now? Wow, that's crazy! I could hardly even imagine..." Terra thought that might have sounded a little rude, but she was too surprised to care.
"Perhaps you should come to my home," Terra said. "It's nice there. You might really like it." As she suggested it, she blushed again. She felt like she was inviting a classmate she didn't know very well over. It made her nervous, but she was able to get through it more easily this time.

"Maybe. We'll see some day." Phenom cocked his head back against the wall. He lifted up his right leg and placed his right arm upon the knee, glancing over at Terra. "If you don't mind... I like knowing about who I'm about to fight alongside. It helps generate efficiency in combat when you know your comrades. Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?"

Nevaaras - Colony CY-001 (or something, I dunno)
Morice was trapped inside the room he rented. He was deeply annoyed.
"Great. I hope this damned storm doesn't disrupt my trip to the mines. Meanwhile, Jim is outside playing in a damned sandbox of a storm!"
Jim, as a lizard hybrid, had similar conditions at his home planet. His planet was the closest to his star. Whenever sandstorms kicked up, all he had to do was dig underneath the sand and doze off. Which is exactly what he did for this one.
Morice laid on his bed, waiting out the storm.
"Well, I may as well check on the CANNON tracker."
He turned on his glasses and turned on the sonar for the tracker. Which now doesn't exist...
"What?! But... How?! I didn't see the CANNON, I didn't set it off and it hasn't been timed out! What the hell is going on in this hellhole of a planet...?!"
Morice gave a deep sigh.
"... I wonder, would anyone miss this planet? Because if this goes further south I will gladly pull out the suggestion to destroy a good portion of this planet... Government my ass... We brought our government... Wait, we have our entire government! What is to stop me from doing it anyways?! I swear, once I'm done here this planet goes away! I don't care if we need all of the planets we need for- ... Oh yeah... That's why... We kinda want it... For ourselves... My head hurts..."

(please pretend that Mara followed what the others told her, gah >_< )
The palace
Looking at her device, Mara was trying to see how to make it more effective, some of the pieces inside the portal gun looked quite old of usage, her mind had the debate of why it was like that, maybe it was an old piece of trash that kept working or the materials and parts were so good that they didn´t need to be changed. She simply sighed and looked at the group "Well then, let´s see how this journey goes" she spoke mostly to herself

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Hunteri Stronghold – Sedes Imperii (Palace)
As Aion continued to speak with Mimi, John remained almost entirely silent, trying to piece together all he could remember about Aion, but very little came up. Cortana also had little success in fully remembering Aion. Even after combing through her database, all she could find were small fragments with very little or no context.
Finally, after spending a few seconds remaining silent, John thought that it would be best to break the rather unproductive silence.
"We should get back to the task at hand. We need to find a shortcut into the labs, and Cortana may have found a way to both get there, and reroute some of the power to raising the city. The only problem is this door.", John said to everyone in the room while pointing at the council chamber doors with his thumb, hoping that they could get moving as soon as possible.
CY-001 - Nevaaras
As Ethan followed Miranda and Mokou to the Central Tower, he couldn't help but notice Mokou's reaction to the colony's technology, her only comment being "cooooool" as she quickly glanced at everything and absorbed all she could observe. Her reaction caused Ethan to look over to her grin a little as she commented that she loved the sights CY-001 had to offer.
"I take it you like what you see?", Ethan asked Mokou, with a grin across his face and a single raised brow.
Hallman's Office | The Expense
Emil simply looked over to Hallman with a rather unamused look on his face, but rather than grace his employer with a response, Emil thought it would be best to focus his attention on the strange box. This time, Emil pushed and pulled at the door much harder than before, with enough force to push a tank.

"Fascinated." Mokou corrected Ethan's assumptions, not taking an eye off things and ultimately running into a wall. "Ow. Gotta watch where I'm going."
Mokou quickly caught up, as her walking pace was slower because of her fascinated eyes wandering away from where she was going. "But yeah, this place is amazing." Mokou beamed as if she was a kid at a candy store. "Look at all these... these... STUFF. I don't know what half of them are called, but I must say, technology is awesome. I especially like those jump pad things: they look fun."

BGM: Umineko: When They Cry - Steady Pace
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yXHatTQBT6A
A startled look rose to Terra's face. "A-about myself? Y-you want to know about me? Ok then..." She wasn't quite ready for that question. She hadn't met many people who asked her that so directly. Most of the time it seemed like this kind of stuff came up later on. Regardless, she wouldn't let that stop her. I hope I don't just prattle on and on, Terra thought.
"Well, uh... where to begin... Well, I'm a magician! That's something about myself!" Terra nodded and put her index finger up as if that had been some grand idea. "I have lots of grimoires at home and I just love studying them! Oh, and also, I'm sixteen years old, in case you were wondering." Terra paused again. "Um... hmm... well... what kind of thing did you want to know about me? Specifically?"

Phenom shrugged. "Anything I suppose. History you're willing to reveal? Morals? Beliefs? Knowing ones comrades leads to better communication on the battlefield, and it may just help us all survive tomorrow."

"Compared to what i'm familiar with, it's fairly low-tech." SiMo chimed into the conversation, coming up alongside the three. "Reminds me of the city of Brightholme from the planet from where I originate. I do hope it isn't as... seedy as there, however."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
