Gundam 00 Headcanon 9/?
Feb. 17th, 2016 11:19 pm Wang Lui Mei has her information network, but if you want information about the inside of Celestial Being, the person you need to go to is Feldt Grace. She and Christina Sierra start Celestial Being’s informal gossip network around when Ptolemaios is preparing to launch the Gundams. Later, Feldt recruits Milena Vashti.
It starts as a sort of workaround for the “no discussing your pasts” rule–obviously, they aren’t going to break it, but just as obviously, if so much as mentioning a certain subject around a member of Celestial Being will send them into a day-long funk, it’s practical to share that sort of important tactical information with the rest of the crew so future incidents can be avoided. It’s not a foolproof system, but it’s functional.
Later on, as the crew includes more people who weren’t involved with CB from the start, the gossip network becomes a way to fill people in on the things that aren’t really going to show up in the introductory packet. Even with permission to discuss their pasts, everyone is still fantastically quirky, and sometimes it’s just easier to take the new person aside and explain that, Yes, Setsuna says that sometimes, and no, it doesn’t quite mean what you think it means. Just go with it. He’s Gundam.
And, of course, they do sometimes just engage in mundane, just-for-fun gossip, because everyone needs a hobby and their coworkers’ relationships are amusing.
