Heh, I may just be a little easy to impress. 'Powers' weren't exactly a reality in my world. [ He pauses, because that's not quite right. ] Well, except in the case of a select few. Even then, it wasn't exactly the same.
[ And while he doesn't often share much about his past, Neil readily takes the change of subject when it's offered, if only because it really isn't his place to explain Innovades and Innovators. ]
My story? Let's see... before coming here I was a pilot of large machinery, the kind that could operate both in Earth's atmosphere and space.
Mm, it must be something else, being one of the few with the ability needed to protect others.
[ He's not sure if it's the sort of thing she'd see as a gift or a burden, since it sounds like very little choice was involved in it. But rather than pry, he moves on to answer her next statement. ]
Ah, does it really? I suppose it's a little easy for me to take for granted, since mobile suits have been around as long as I can remember. All the same, the technology has taken leaps and bounds even then, so there's always something new to be amazed by.
Unless innocent people are in danger, we go about our everyday lives. We're students, first and foremost. [ How they managed to balance grades and fighting shadows is impressive, mostly because Mitsuru's kept them in line.
She nods, trying to imagine huge robots flying around in space. It's a shame she won't ever actually see it. ]
The ability to pilot mobile suits... is this a special skill that only a few select individuals have, or does the average citizen fly as well?
Ah, that's good to hear! At your age you really should be enjoying what life has to offer.
[ Maybe a bit hypocritical to say since he buggered off at the end of his secondary school days to do questionable things, but that was a choice. So it's still nice to see this group of kids still gets the chance to be ordinary when life affords it. ]
Oh, it's definitely a more specialized type of machinery. I think an equivalent might be... possibly piloting a military craft, or maybe even a commercial plane? Either way, it does take years of training.
And you, Mr. Stratos? I believe that advice is also appropriate for you.
[ He didn't look that much older! ]
A soldier, then? I'd like to see this technology someday. The people of my time have made enormous technological leaps, but nothing so impressive yet. [ A fully sentient, fighting robot was pretty impressive, but SPACE? ]

[ She smiles, leaning forward a little. She may not be as excitable as others, but hearing about machinery like that is pretty freakin' fascinating. ]
Such technology sounds straight out of science fiction. It's incredible.
