[Hayato is an oddly somber individual when he turns on the feed. His expression is calm but serious when he finally speaks.]

So, with the upcoming fight, I just wanted to wish everyone luck. If we can pull this off-- and I know we will-- there's going to be a whole city of people that are going to have their lives and freedom back.

That said... I know Union is a pretty peaceful town. While it's admirable you guys have done so well by not resorting to violence, and I mean that, I do, don't forget that ...this is very much a war. Gigas isn't going to care about a thing like that. They'll shoot to kill, and if they take you alive.

Well.

Hope that they don't.

That's ...all I really wanted to say. I want to see everyone one of you make it back here. I don't want a single person landing on an MIA list, I mean it.

[And he does. His expression is much more grave this time. He likes this place and he likes the people and he doesn't want to see another body count. He ends the feed.]

[Locked to Mission Eight.]

[His drops the grave expression for something much more resembling a smile.]

Ah, Hey! Everyone assigned to Mission Eight! We should talk or get together before we set out. I don't know some of you very well and we should change that if we're going to be relying on each other to watch our backs.

If you don't already know who I am, my name's Hayato Ichimonji. Nice to meet you.

You know the same goes for you too, right? I said this already, but... No MIA lists for you, either.

Don't worry, Hayato. Pretty sure we're all gonna make it and free Sanctuary. [He taps the side of his head with one finger.] I got the Image in my head already.

Mister Ichimonji? You're going off to fight too, right?

[He's quiet for a long time, narrowing his eyes and tilting his head in an unreadable expression. And then it's something like a smile as he smooths the thumb of his prosthetic arm against his lower lip.]

Sometimes humans do say good things.

You know me unfortunately well, though.

[A cheeky grin.]

I hope you know me well enough to trust me at your back.

[Gordon smiles at that.]

The same goes for you, son. I don't want any of you kids getting hurt.

[Leave it to Gordon to look at Hayato and call him a 'Kid.']

[Then, to the locked section.]

Jim Gordon. You can call me Jim, or Gordon, or Gordon-san, whatever's most comfortable for you. I'm already acquainted with most of our team, I think, or at least aware of them, but getting to know one another a little better certainly wouldn't hurt.

And you. Do not let me find your name on there again.

[Have a kid.]

That's what usually happens in war. You have to kill your enemy before they come up with some trick that will kill you. Holding back won't get you anything except dead.

[...He seems far too cheerful for the subject matter.]

Chie Satonaka, reporting for duty!

[She gives a salute and a big enthusiastic smile.]
