"You took all of these?" Meyrin questioned as she slid from picture to the next.

"Yep. But that's just one gallery. There are dozens more," Miriallia explained. Some of the galleries weren't as easy to enjoy, however. The one Meyrin was looking through was filled with the United States of South America- jungles and markets and all sorts of people going about their lives. The next gallery was part of its war for independence.

And the aftermath.

"You've been everywhere?"

Miriallia laughed. "Not everywhere, but a lot of places. A lot of places that... aren't really meant for casual tourists. Especially not during a war. Some of it was because I wanted to, but most of it was just work. You might even have--"

"Oh!"

Yes, that was one that Meyrin probably had seen before, right before she'd had to say it. That image, of a bustling traditional market, but with armed mobile suits standing in the background, had been printed and reprinted in a variety of places. Most any report on that war had included it.

After it were a dozen more of the same general image, but with slightly-different angles, compositions, and cropping. Meyrin slid back and forth on a couple of them, comparing differences.

Well, Miriallia thought, she'd found a more critical viewer than she'd realized.

"Is the market still there?" Meyrin finally questioned.

"Yes," Miriallia replied. Well, as far as she knew. She kept up on the news, but there was always so much every single day.

"I'd like to see it," Meyrin replied. "I'd like to see more of... all of the planet. I just really didn't know what it was like."

"Neither did I." Miriallia shrugged. "I still don't. There are so many places that I haven't seen yet..."

And would never see, now--
