No offense intended. But there's a sweet spot on the sliding scale of realism, and most of the interest checks I usually see skew too far to the realism end for me.

Can't describe how quickly I go from excited to sad when a mecha premise turns out to be realism wankery.

Nope.

Prior notice, however; I have SATs on Saturday, so I'll be less active tomorrow night.
Rin was intending to use the Strike, I believe.
"Way I see it, ORB's in trouble no matter who wins this war. If the Alliance wins, they'll still hate the Coordinators here. If ZAFT wins, they'll hate the Naturals. Maybe by making these, and taking the data from them, we can make sure that no matter who wins, ORB is safe." The engineer paused, glancing over at Stan and shrugging sheepishly. "Above my pay grade, though. I know how to make things; Politics is a bit out of my realm of expertise."

"Are the suits at the airport under any kind of guard?" He asked, refocusing on the task at hand. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he resumed his work, but he was still looking at Stan. "You mentioned they're in big crates. If a civilian might think that's odd, who knows how the EA or ZAFT might react. And I'd hate for the Astrays I've been working on to get blown up before they even get a chance to move."
"A little tired." The Coordinator admitted, swiveling in his chair to face Stan, resting one elbow on his desk. He had, after a moment's thought, elected not to mention that he'd been working sixteen hours; Whether Stan was aware of his genetic status or not, that would be a bit difficult to explain. "It's the Astrays. They yanked me off the G-Project a few months back, God knows why."

"But that gives me more time to focus on these." He gestured with a thumb to the screen next to him, where innumerable lines of code filled the screen, the scroll bar at right indicating many more above and below. "Some sections of their code's still as inelegant as a monkey on a dance floor, and there are a few persistent glitches. And of course, they want it all done today. It'll be half a dozen damn revisions before it's ready, and there's only time for one."

Alexander allowed a half mile to cross his face. "On the bright side, with how rushed they're making this, your report'll probably be accurate after their first battle. They haven't got PS armor, so unless the code's right and their pilots are top notch, they're just going to get shot to pieces."
Aaaaaand, done. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

As a side note; I saw it discussed above who would know who, and I wanted to chime in. Alexander would probably be familiar with both Milya and Arsenio, at least being able to recognize them, but it's unlikely that he'd have talked with Arsenio much. He'd probably have spoken with him enough to get feedback and know who he was, though.
Alexander Cross needed coffee.

Now, for most people, such a thought wasn't out of the ordinary. There were many people that had a cup of coffee every morning, and felt wrong if they didn't. It helped jumpstart their awareness and keep them going throughout the day. However, for Alexander, even the thought that he needed coffee was unusual. After all, he had far greater stamina than most of his coworkers.

Though he had to admit that even the toughest Coordinator would be feeling drained. Sighing, he pushed his chair back, away from his desk, and rubbed at his eyes. He'd been working for hours, staring at line after line of code, and only switching from that to examine the diagnostic readouts on his second monitor. The workplace was almost silent around him; Most of his coworkers had either taken the day off, or been given the day off. The reason for this was very, very simple. Most of them weren't aware of the G-Project, though some were aware of the Astray Project. They were given the day off because the prototypes of both projects had been brought to the island overnight.

This, coincidentally, was also why Alexander had been working for roughly sixteen hours alone. The software wasn't quite finished, particularly on the Astrays. It worked, but it was rough; Very much in the prototype phase, the code used was inelegant, and in some particulars functions, prone to certain errors. Even if the code worked perfectly, it still wasn't maximized to make full use of the mobil suit's hardware. His sixteen hours had been spent trying to make every function as smoothly as possible before the prototypes were expected to be finished, even though he knew that it would be a half dozen more versions before it was really even approaching done.

And they were due to be finalized in a few hours.

Alexander really, really needed a cup of coffee. And he wouldn't have been complaining about a little help, either.
Would it still be possible to get a character in for this?
Sorry, I was a bit busy. I'll get something written, should be up in an hour or two at most.
Good point; He might actually be doing his job instead. XD
I chuckled at that video more than I should have.

Anyway, I'll be posting in a few minutes, putting Alexander near the cafe aforementioned. I'd have him actually be in it so as to provide interaction for Milya, but uh, it'd be a bit of a stretch to have him do so, considering the cafe. XD But, I'll put him nearby for an interaction opportunity for anyone who needs it.
