Osea in our world

Flickering Nation

"Huh....?"

Mobius awaken from the from the brightness of the sunlight,she's lying on a patient bed right now,judging from the softness of the mattress and the smell of medicines,and bandage is covering half of her right eye,only leaving a very narrow slit for the light to pass through.She closes her eyes and opened again,so,this isn't a dream,Mobius thought.She touches her bandage again,it seemed like only her head was damaged:

"Ouch..."

Clinging to the side of the bed,Mobius uses all of her remaining strength to get up.The curtain of the window where she lying is helpful,at least,providing a fulcrum for her to lift herself up from the bed:

"Where am I...?"

The scene in front of the window look strangely familiar.A massive civilians airport,just like one in Vladivostok,but it isn't full of cold climate trees,or having any snow on the ground.But it's also unusual silence,without any sound from the engines of the taking off aircraft,or the chattering noise from the airport operators,much less civilians.Everything is far from a normal airport at this point.Maybe it was shut down or something,she thought,but then why she's here at the first place?

"Ameri"

An usual voice called her name from the back,it's Long Caster,he is stepping into the room,along with Talisman and Maiden:

"Surprised,huh?Oh,in case you wonder,James is there"-The AWACS commander point his finger at the man in pilot suit,who's sleeping on a monoblock-"He has been sleeping like that for five hours,should've gave him a bed instead.Not a comfortable place to sleep,I could tell.We should've asked for another bed,but it's too late now.Well,better than on the floor"

Said done,Long Caster takes the column of the monoblocks and split them up,before giving one to each of the pilots behind him.They sat close to Mobius's bed,of course doing that quietly enough to not waking up Trigger:

"Are you okay?"

Mobius nodded her head

"Good,worth searching for you two"-Long Caster bites a bar of chocolate-"Sorry,haven't eaten anything for seven hours.I've asked the HQ,they allowed you and Wilson stay here for a week for recovery.Jesus,that was a serious accident you got...."

"Huh?"

"Let's see....severely damaged the peacekeeping effort in the region.Destroying numerous of landscape around Seoul and the surrounding area...and...yeah...the Foreign Affair is on fire right now.Damn,I've splitted my coffee when I heard the name of you two on the broadcast...."

"What are you talking about-?"

"And not only that,you also engaged an unknown squadron without any order from me or the ground force,nor the ODAF,plus damaging a few part of ADFX-04.You won't believe how bad shape she is"-Long Caster pointed at the closed hangar out of the window-"A whole Osean mechanic platoon were air delivered here,they are fixing her.But the cost is....a solid eight digit,no joking......"

Seeing Mobius's face turned blanched,Talisman reassured:

"No worry,HQ has been acknowledged that this is an accident,so there would be no court martial,and the Korean army accepted to pay the repair cost too.I don't think you have to worry about it anymore.All things has been done while you were sleep"

"Phew"-Mobius sighs in relief-"Glad to hear that.So,how is James?"

"As you can see,aside from two or three bruises,nothing critical.He doesn't even need a bed either,unlike you.Take care of yourself first,you're far more damaged"

Long Caster didn't said without any proof,in fact,there is a lot of it:The obvious wound on her head above the right eye.A bruise on the left leg,and dislocated ankle.Not mentioning a few more scratch on the bandaged arm.Mobius is now no difference from the common looking patient that she usually saw on TV series or movie,the only thing she missing is the casted leg:
