When the intercom's jingle sounded, there seemed to be some kind of tapping in the background noise, like letters being punched into a keyboard. It stopped and the Head Doctor chuckled.

"Hello, everyone! I'm actually taking a break from paperwork for once – everyone needs some recreational time, you know! – and of course, now we can all look forward to a scrumptious dinner from our cooks. Tonight, herb-seasoned grilled salmon is on the menu, served with buttery mashed potatoes and asparagus. All our regular drinks and vegetarian options are available, and for dessert, we will be serving yellow cake with a whipped cream icing.

"...Well! I can hardly wait to get my own dinner after saying all that. Good bye for now, everyone, and enjoy your delicious food!"

The intercom clicked off.

Allelujah took a couple of bites of food before answering. "It was fine I suppose," he said with a small smile at the other man. "Strange at parts, particularly last shift," he added thoughtfully. He still couldn't quite believe it. "I could do without the nurses fussing though." They were annoying. He'd had worse injuries and it wasn't as though it was his legs that were injured.

"Oh? Something happen?" he asked. It helped to keep the conversation moving and Yuuhi usually preferred to talk about other people and their problems rather than face his own. He took a bite of the fish, not really enjoying it, but not hating it either.

Maybe that was how Allie had gotten his hands hurt? Or maybe it was something from the night before? He wasn't sure he dared ask how things were going with that... friend of Allelujah's.

"I met someone who knows the name of a particular weapon from my world, but he isn't from my world," Allelujah said after a moment, a thoughtful frown on his lips. "There's only four fully functional versions of these weapons in my world, all of them owned by Celestial Being and all of their schematics are secret. But this person seemed to speak as though they were common in his world." It was puzzling truly, but there was nothing he could do about it he supposed.

"Hnnn," he mused, stirring the potatoes into a mush with the gravy. "Maybe all our worlds aren't as different as we think," he suggested with a shrug. The more places they'd traveled, the more people they'd already met or things that seemed familiar. He didn't get into specifics though, hopefully Allelujah would be alright with that.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much."

"Maybe," Allelujah said thoughtfully. "It's just odd to hear about a weapon that was so special in my world is known about in other places." It was disconcerting as well. The Gundams were supposed to be theires, to be something special and unique. And other worlds having them meant there would be bloody wars there too.
