"Yeesh, guess I added fuel to what was already a pretty nasty fire. I mean this with respect, since you guys are kicking eight kinds of Titans ass, but how the ruddy hell has this unit not torn itself apart already?" Jim asked, remembering how tight knit the Hurricanes, and before them the Wild Boars had been.

"You didn't do anything, Eddy is just moody like twenty-four seven. I speculate he has lady parts myself. But we don't kill each other because we don't get up each other's asses enough that we commit our own genocide...at least not yet anyways." Bill remarked. It was still on the back of his mind that he didn't get an answer to his question.

"Guess I should be thankful I'm moving to Beta squad then" Jim said as he got some backstory on the pilots he'd be flying with. "Anyways, you asked why I hid my past as a Titan. Truth be told I'd almost convinced myself I had never been one. But the nightmares never stopped..." Jim trailed off as another surge of shame overwhelmed him. "Would you try and run from it, forget about it and try and build a new life, a new name, if you found out you were responsible for teaching a bunch of thugs with no qualms, no, who enjoyed killing the innocent how to efficiently murder people, Bill?" Jim asked.

Bill thought for a moment about how he would reply. He could give his usually 'Stop being a bitch' reply, but that wouldn't be appropriate in an actual conversation about ethics and feelings. "Honestly, no. I wouldn't give up my identity over feeling guilty for it. It'd sting to know that you trained the fools, but eventually, you'll have to put it in your pasts. You can't hold yourself accountable for the actions of others just because you were their teacher. You may have trained the bastards, but you didn't order them to do so. You can't blame yourself for training them, otherwise you'll have to train the person who trained you as well. He'd be just as guilty for training you so you can later on train the evil bastards. You just teached them, that was it. It's up to the student to decide what to do with the knowledge."

"Well Bill, I'm sure detached its easy to say I'm not responsible. Respectfully though, I may not have called Kai a friend, but he was still a shipmate, and even though he was an arrogant fucking cuss it was my duty to train him and keep him alive. Then he lead the 30 Bunch strike force. Seeing a man you trained murder an entire colony isn't that easy to forget. After that, the pilots I'd flown with for two years - Christine Palister, Jonas Schaeffer, my CO and friend, Rick Nero, plus our Captain, honorable men, men whose loyalty to the Earth had never been doubted, in most cases men who had bled and burned for the Earth, were thrown into irons and imprisoned for questioning their orders once when any sane person would say their orders were unethical. The Titans lost their way, and I did everything I could to forget them, to the point of changing my name. When I was selected for the Titans, at the time it was the proudest day of my life. To this day it is still the greatest source of shame in my life. You say I'm not responsible for Kai's actions. Fine, I would never give an order to target civilians; I am a soldier, after all. But that doesn't absolve me of responsibility for not seeing what Kai for what he was, and training him despite a nasty feeling in my gut that I should've gone to Captain Mantovani and had his Wings revoked. Could you still say you aren't responsible if you trained a man who murdered an entire colony with WMDs?" Jim asked, still choked up.

Downing was listening to Bill and Jim’s conversation, pretty interesting actually. Downing then pat Bill on the shoulder and look at Jim and say “Lucky you don’t have to hide your identity with us anymore, cause non of us here were hiding our identity too, but it’s odd that you are the only non Zeon on Beta team.” Downing chuckle a bit, it just fun to know that at least this time the team is not getting a rookie anymore, “I guess the only person’s who need to hide their whole identity is either Char himself or Amuro, cause they are newtype after all.”

Karl took the lift down from his suits shoulder and headed across the MS deck for his quarters, changing into his black and green Tripp pants and Hatchetman Jersey, after changing he sat down on his bed to read for a while, he hadn't had the chance to read since before the last battle.

About an hour after he'd laid down to read, a knock issued at his door, getting and opening the door he found a courier waiting with the usual packet of orders, Karl took the orders and the courier politely saluted and walked off, waiting a few seconds at the door Karl then stepped back into his quarters. Sitting down he saw that the packet was labeled F.Y.E.O. "For your eye's only.", opening it and pulling the contents out he found that it was a briefing packet for the upcoming operation, "Descending Sword huh?" He read over the first few pages and was shocked at what Command was having them do, "Damn, that's gonna a bitch of a target with only a few teams of suits."

Before Bill could answer Jim's new question, David started to say the usual crap about no one else hiding. 'The more he says it, the more I feel like shooting him.' He thought until Davey made the statement that Jim was the only non-Zeon Pilot. "Remember, Mei and Alisha were both civilians, and were never veterans of either Zeon, or the EFF."

Bill took a brief pause before continuing with his discussion to Jim. "Now, the thing is, you can't hold yourself responsible for the jackass, even though you trained him. Had you refused to train him, someone else would've. Your job was to train the moron, and there is no way anyone could predict anyone to be genocidal maniacs. Your team wasn't the only one pumping the gas in the colony. The only thing that would've changed would be the people committing evil, but the evil would still be there. If you can accept that everything that happened at 30 wasn't your fault, and instead the fault of the Titan leadership, than you'll be able to fight the true villains instead of fighting yourself."

Karl continued to read through the pages of the brief, it mentioned special equipment that would require training to maintain combat effectiveness, "Damn these things are bulky, how the hell are we supposed to fight in those?" He figured that most of his pilots were experienced enough that it might not even be a problem.

Banska stepped off of the city bus and onto the street corner. He didn’t want to steal one of Anaheim’s buggies. Sure it’d be easy enough for them to get back but whatevs. He walked a short distance before he finally reached an entrance to their port. Soon he was back on board the Gibberish and, of course, people were apparently fighting. Goody. He ignored the other pilots as he walked by them, heading into the depths of the ship.

After a few moments went by of silence, Bill took it as his cue to get off the sappy phycobabble and make less mopey. "But lets get off this sad bullshit for a while. We'll continue this later, or not, whichever suits us all. You know Jimmy, Von Braun is famous for moon pizza, and we are on shore leave. Wanna grab a bite?" Bill offered. I know, the last time we were in VB, Bill ate pizza, but screw you...pizza is the god of foods.

"Food... yeah. Food sounds good. I haven't had a good pizza since before Konpeitoh... Side 6 wasn't exactly the best chow in the colonies" Jim replied, remembering how awful the prepack shit he'd eaten for two years on Side 6 had been. "Besides, I still haven't seen Luna properly. Never got here when I was with Feds, and I would like to see more than the dock and Anaheim. Lead off, Bill."

As he yawned slightly and applied his hands on his back and pushed against himself to stretch, Bill checked his watch to make sure the place was open. "The place I know will be open for another three hours, so we have plenty of time." he said as he motioned towards the buggy Eddy thoughtfully left in the middle of the hangar.

"Sure why not? Like they say, three's a party." Bill said as he hoped into the buggy and started up the electric engine. Unlike internal combustion engines, electric engines barely made a sound, which Bill didn't like. On earth, he was able to hear the purring of jeeps as a Zeon soldier...now it was hard to hear a car attempting to run you over.
