We uncovered the root of the world's twistedness: a man named Ribbons Almark, who lead a group called the Innovators. Ribbons had been manipulating things behind the scenes for years. He'd co-opted the Aeolia Plan before our interventions ever started. Us losing Veda, the creation of the A-LAWS... it was all his doing. ...He was also the pilot of the Gundam that saved me as a child, and the one who nominated me as a Meister.
The Innovators were made up of artificial humans called Innovades. Innovades were meant to walk alongside humanity, but the Innovators saw themselves as superior, and wanted to rule us instead.
Ribbons wanted this most of all. He believed that he was God himself. It was our meeting all those years ago, the look of worship I gave his Gundam, which ignited that belief.
Ribbons couldn't be reasoned with, and I killed him in battle.
We recovered Veda, and the A-LAWS' crimes were revealed to the world. A new government has since formed, and Celestial Being has remained in the shadows for the past two years, allowing the world to rebuild itself, and only intervening where absolutely necessary.
...Two years ago, I became a true Innovator. The new kind of human anticipated by Aeolia Schenberg, capable of using powerful quantum brainwaves. My existence as an Innovator is necessary for the dialogues to come... and the time for those dialogues has arrived sooner than anyone expected.
Several months ago, humanity came into contact with an alien species we dubbed ELS: Extraterrestrial Livingmetal Shapeshifters. They've been fusing with humans, killing them in the process. However, I don't believe it's their intention. With my Gundam, and the abilities granted to me as an Innovator, I tried to communicate with them. I remember... an overflow of information. I thought my head was going to split apart. And then it all went dark.
Eventually, I met you in my dreams. You told me I was still alive... and I woke up here.

He exhales. ]
That's the abridged version. I'll answer any questions you have.
