Giant Robot Check-In
Or things that are much LIKE giant robots.
So I figure it probably pertinent for those of us with freshly echoed giant robots/horrifying monstrosities/what have you to pick this discussion back up now that we're time-wise on the other side of Wise Snake.
What we do know is that the FBI will try to confiscate the Gundams/Evas to some capacity for the moment, but with the pilots still being able to oversee them, which is good since the Gundams and the Evas are locked to their pilots in one manner or another, but how is this to go about? That's mostly a mod question I'd suppose.
Really, I don't suppose any character is going to be in much of a position to stop the FBI from doing this for now, but if anyone is it'd probably be good to speak up~
As far as Neil is concerned, as the oldest of this motley crew of pilots, he's going to try and take some responsibility for the younger ones. (re: all of them) He would be trying ASAP to speak with the FBI and/or National Guard to try and leverage his military history and "hey we just saved the city" to get some cooperation. Which is the key thing - for right now, he's going to want to cooperate with the FBI if they're the ones overseeing the mecha.
But now that we've had some more experience with everything, does anyone else have any intentions? Plans? Figuring out where these weapons of mass destruction get shoved is probably vital for any of us doing much of anything, so it seems like a good thing to discuss!

Neil would have stuck around. While the seeds of distrust towards certain authority figures have been sown for him, that he's new to the Numbers Club is significant, so he'd spill most of what he knows which... isn't much. "This is how these pulses work, there's an invisible network, and it sounds stupid, but I've got a giant robot and a metal basketball to prove it." As well as any basic known information about the corrupt police that you could find in the FAQ - he will namedrop Sherman and Edwards. He's banking on hope that while there may be such heavy corruption in the LCPD, maybe he'll get lucky with the Feds or he figures they're kind of screwed.
Less optimism, more "probably don't have much of a choice. Now give me a polygraph at the same time to prove I'm telling you the truth."
He'll try to lay down his Army service record - which is fairly excellent up to his injury and honorable discharge - as to provide some level of credibility. He'll also expressly show concern over the other pilots, being most of them are much younger, being treated right.
Everyone will find quickly that the Gundam Dynames can only be piloted by him, as its locked to Neil specifically. It will also be quite evident in a day or so that Dynames never runs out of power while sitting around stationary.
Will the pilots be allowed to come and go from where the machines are being kept?

So after the initial questioning, agents will likely want the pilots to stay at one location (like an appropriated hotel or something) not only for their own track-keeping, but for these alleged claims of being targets. However, they will not force the issue. If the pilot wishes to go home, they may. They will, however, be followed and monitored by the FBI.

For the time being Neil will cooperate and probably stay at the appropriated hotel until they get a better sense of what's going. (Re: Probably until at least Season 2's start, depending on what that all entails.) And probably give his employees at the auto shop a couple weeks off to try and wrap his head around all this stuff.
Thanks much! This should be enough to get rolling with~
