United One

"H-hi? A-a-are you...? Is there anyone in this thing?"

[A meek voice speaks out, with no visual from the gear. It's tone is fairly high-pitched. The screen suddenly bursts to static that gradually becomes a relatively clear picture. The face of the creature holding the device is not human. Not by a long shot. It's bright red skin, pointed nose, and long, thin teeth would stand out as particularly un-human features to any viewer. However, the expression on it's face is not a scary one, but one of fear.]

"I-I don't kn-know what's happened. They gave me Brother and th-this device, but they didn't... They didn't say where to take it! A-a-and they said the Extralink... The... Th-the thing... It broke... And I don't know what's going on!"

[Tears begin to form in the creature's eyes, it's own sadness only seeming to frighten it more. These feelings were alien to the former Pikmin, who had never quite known the concept of sentience before.]

"Th-the person tried t-to explain it, but... I didn't know what any of it means, a-and... and they said I was wasting the- wasting their time. I don't know where my family is! I'm all alone, and I jus- I just want to go back to th'man with the whistle. I just want to go back to where I belong..."[Red Pikmin #37 sat down on a stump, device still in his hands. An Oddish nudges him gently with its head. He responds by softly stroking its leaves, his sobbing having quieted down quite a bit, at this point it was little more than heavy breathing.]
