Ens. Ibram Gaunt

((Sorry Orrick, but I'd rather not wait.))

Just as the simulation was getting underway, the chief mechanic on the floor knocked on Ibram's cockpit hatch to let him know that the pizza was here. "Better get a slice now. The way these guys eat you'll be in a race to get even one." the guy said as Gaunt's panoramic monitor switched to an outside view and his Nemo's head tilted down slightly, as if regarding him. Gaunt ceased the simulation, raising his mobile suit's arm in an affirmative to the man on the lift outside.

"Chelsea, pizza's here. Unless you particularly enjoy cafeteria food I think we should go and grab some. Besides, I paid for one myself so I'm going to get my money's worth." Gaunt chuckled into the radio link between their two suits. "We'll pick this back up after lunch, hopefully with Jim here, too."

Gaunt's mobile suit powered down and his cockpit hatch opened, bringing Gaunt into view. He put his glasses on and ran a hand through his hair, grabbing the radio headset he'd been wearing and tossing it onto the seat behind him. Then he rode the lift down to the floor to where everyone had gathered around the mass of hot pizza boxes that were being set up. Gaunt opened a couple until he found a large regular, like he'd asked Bill for, and started carrying it around with him. He took a single slice out of the box and took a satisfying bite.

"Hey, Bill," he approached the pilot he knew by that name talking to another pilot wearing the single Ensign's bar, "Thanks for grabbing these. Didn't know you were going to feed the whole hangar, though. Is there some sort of occasion?"

"We haven't met. I'm the new guy, Ibram Gaunt." he switched conversational targets to Downing. "It's nice to meet you." he grinned, laying down his half-eaten pizza on top of the box and extending his right hand to the man.

“Welcome aboard kid, I’m Ensign David Downing, one of the OYW veterans here. Anyway, it right of Bill to threat the whole crew of the ship, cause he going to leave us to attend to some family matter, so as a sign of good bye and good luck for us, he treating the whole member of the ship, cause he know with him leaving, he be leaving a lot of crap for us to fill.” Downing started laughing after he finishes his sentences.

Then Downing looks at Bill and says “So, who going to get your rank after you leave us? It seems the ranks in this ship have been changing constantly lately.

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

A going away party? From that guy? That's weird...he doesn't exactly seem the type to do that...

"Hey, why does everyone keep calling me 'kid'? I'm not that much younger than any of you, maybe four or five years, and I'm the same rank. Is it because I was going to school during the One Year War, because it's not like I haven't seen combat before." Gaunt said with good-humored disappointment. "I'd take 'Fuckin' New Guy' over 'kid'. Haha." he said, keeping his right hand held out to Downing for him to shake.

Downing shake hand with the new Ensign and say “Ok, new guy it is then, you cant blame it on us actually, it just that the OYW age us, so mostly people who just join would either be call kid or green horn. But anyway, rank not that important here, experience is, that why we may share the same rank, but still, you need to respect your senior, but I really need to talk to the head of command about this ranking stuff, it seem there something wrong with the system, cause I also question why I was still an Ensign after my length of service, added that I'm Alpha team second man, so if Eddy have any problem and unable to attend to his duty, I guess Alpha team should be under my command.”

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

Ibram seemed to take on a solemn air for a moment before he picked his pizza back up. "The war aged all of us, Ensign. You didn't have to fight in it for it to take something from you." he said, and in his tone you could tell he was speaking from experience. "Anyway," he continued, his more jovial demeanor returning, "I don't care so much about rank as long as I get to fly." He glanced back at his Nemo with a growing smile. "As long as I'm behind the controls of a mobile suit and can take the fight to the enemy, I'm happy. I think that's where I can be of the most help to the cause. I tried just being a mechanic, but it wasn't enough. I don't think I'll ever be anything other than a pilot again, know what I mean?"

“But some people lose more than other due to the OYW. But anyway, never ever call me Ensign, just call me David, that be enough, I never like to address any of the ranked pilot here by sir, so I would not want people start calling me ensign too.”


Downing then place his plate of pizza on the table, and say “That good, but remember to listen to order, me and Eddy sure wont want to take care some other pilots then the one we already have, but I’m not even sure if you would be assign to the Alpha team or some other team.”

While everyone was eating their pizza, not knowing what was really going to happen to Sean, Eddy was still in the hangar running his thirty seventh lap before he paid off Jim's bet. His expression was one of anger and confusion. It wasn't right for Sean to be doing this...but knowing him, there was a slight chance of his survival and escape. Thus, Eddy kept on running laps around the hangar in bare silence.

"Oh New Guy, before I forget, Jim has the money you both gave me to get pizza, I told him to give it to you seeing as he's your team leader and I figured he'd see you first, so remind him if you see him." Slowly slipping out of the convo, Sean went back to eating his pizza, including the mauled lump of crust that he discarded from his mouth earlier.

Banska slipped unnoticed into the room. He sighted his target and proceeded with the extraction. The operation went off without a hitch, that slice of pizza was his. He looked around at the people gathered here and noticed a new face.

“Hey, you, new person" he said referring to Gaunt. "Who are you replacing again? I can’t remember who was the last person to get killed…” Banska has a way with words.

Karl snuck up to the stack of pizza's and grabbed a large peperoni and black olives for himself and stalked quietly out of the room and to his quarters, he needed to veg for a bit to figure out how to get Sean out of the situation he was in.

Locking his door Karl pulled out a half ounce blunt and sparked it, then he turned on the air filtration system, he needed to think clearly if he was going to work out a solution.

Ens. Ibram Gaunt

"I'm on Gamma team; Jim's outfit." Gaunt confirmed for Downing as Bill spoke up.

"What, you mean you didn't spend it?" Gaunt looked over at Bill, surprised. "Hell, you could have at least used it to tip the delivery guy. Anyway, thanks again." he said, saluting the Bill with his crust. He had it halfway into his mouth when someone else spoke up, asking crassly who died and given Gaunt his place in the roster. Gaunt's eyes narrowed a fraction at Banska but then he shrugged.

"They don't tell me that sort of thing." he said through a mouthful before gulping it down. He hit himself in the chest with his fist lightly as if it would help it go down easier. "Though I'm sure whoever died was a great pilot and he or she will be missed by all those that knew him. I'm Ibram Gaunt, by the way." he added, taking another slice of pizza from the box he was holding and starting to wolf it down. Man, a lot of people here had such a cavalier attitude about death. He'd known a lot of pilots in his day, but even the hardest veterans weren't the type to forget a pilot they'd flown with and seen die. He'd seen grizzled old Lieutenant Commanders with shrine-like setups in their rooms with pictures of all the men they'd served with who weren't around anymore. They covered entire walls of their officer's quarters, interspersed with medals and other knick-knacks to remind them of that person. Gaunt himself had fostered good relationships with most of the pilots when he was a mechanic. It might have been his photographic memory, but he could remember each and every person he'd never seen come back from a fight and did his best to live up to that memory.

"Actually Banska, I think he came in to replace one of the guys who got transfered out. I don't recall us losing anything short of a few mobile limbs in the last battle. If we lost someone, than they were with AE and not AEUG." Sean said with pizza still in his mouth.

“Oh, it’s probably not a good sign that I can’t keep track of these things, huh? Oh well.” Banska continued eating his pizza. People always seemed to drift in and out of the AEUG, at least in this unit they did. One moment you’re stationed on a Salamis and the next it’s burning off of the arm of Orion. The sad thing was that most people here didn’t seem to let themselves understand their own mortality. Even many of the veterans maintained a sort of bravado about war. They were all already dead in one way or another.

Jim was partaking in the party with the lot of the crew, but was still uneasy. Sean's throwing his own life away for our pilots. Admirable, yes, but not the way I do business. Damn it Karl, Ambrose might have been able to get them out. Jim couldn't really enjoy himself when there was a good man about to be led to the gallows, so instead he headed back to the hangar to check on his team. He smirked as he saw Eddo running his laps. He couldn't help himself as he shouted "Come on Eddo. Move like you got a pair!" to Eddy.
